All Good Soldiers Lyrics
keep in mind that an army needs the lemming-like mentality to function... So, potentially, this song is a bit unfair to any army and even to the American army. Does anyone think about contentious objectors and draft dodgers? I mean, I like the song, don't get me wrong, but it is a bit unfair to the army. And, seeing as I'm an Israeli immigrant, I can see the necessity of an army.
good song recipe for hate is a good cd
this song is about how soldiers fight and die for their country under their ultimate leader,the president and his, ultimate leader "god"
I always thought his ultimate leaders were the Rothschilds?
I always thought his ultimate leaders were the Rothschilds?
and how hte idea of god on the presidents side justifies a war (anyone said iraq?)
I love how this song mocks the army. sure the army most likely has atheist soldiers, but this song dresribes the stereotypical soldier. It shows that most of them are just like lemmings they follow blindly to their deaths because a higher power tells them too.
this song (and most songs on recipe for hate) deal with George H. Bush and his view on atheists. he said that he does not think that atheists should be considered patriots or citizens, because this is one nation under God.
check google for more if youd like.
I have to agree with you on this. This song is less about the soldiers, and more about Bush Sr. saying that non Christians make terrible patriots. Greg is actually defending soldiers her in being ironic. As for the "fuck the troops comment," you really need to take a better look at your life. You trash the troops, yet they fight and die so you don't have to and so you can sit there and say "fuck the troops." Bad Religion respects the military as a thing that has to be so they can say what they say...

anti-war and anti-conscription song.
i love this song. soldiers are the president's machines to fight for his god. I love this song.
I've always thought that the army is sort of a necessary evil, but there's just so damn much to criticize. I think it's a bit over the top to say that soldiers obey the president because he believes in god (seriously, you think they aren't atheist soldiers? I bet you thousands of them love this band), but, at the same time, nothing is more obnoxious than people thinking that a war is going to go well for them (if war is something capable of going well) because some supernatural blah is on their side. Everyone thinks God is on their side.
this was one of my brother's favorite songs. i put it on his memorial website. jordanfeder.com
