most have good opinions, but i think one point has been left out even though the song suggests that american soldiers deserve to die for the acts they've committed jamie stewart does not wish death on them in this song he is apathetic to their deaths "why should i care if you get killed?" it would be blasphemous and offensive to most people if you were to say i don't care if american soldiers die, yet Iraqi soldiers and innocent civilians die far more frequently and there is no remorse they do not care about their deaths because they are not american, we do not know them the death of strangers is irrelevant all the time except in the case of soldiers where their lives suddenly become sacred for no other reason he's saying there's no prestige or honour in the war regardless of itself, in many cases soldiers are scum, "supporting the troops" is not inherently right and i don't think this song is personal, it's intended for the whole "war culture" or "jocks" as he put it which of course he means in the sense of a cruel, arrogant, egocentric males he is pretty hardline but i think he's saying that essentially everyone who enlists is either a general "waste of life" ("too stupid") or too unmotivated to do something ambitious rather than partaking in a slaughter that is seen as prestigious ("too greedy") anyone who says this is an immature poorly contrived song, the words are very spontaneous and universal and are almost poetic it's an art piece not something to listen to often, but clearly some of you haven't listened past 2:40 because the strings are very fitting and emotional |
