Lyric discussion by lostrock 

I have a live version of this song where Hendrix pauses for a second near the end of the song to say "and the flag was still there, big deal."

I'm not entirely sure what to make of that. It sounds like Hendrix is probably anti-war and is disappointed in his country.

when Jimi played this song at woodstock it was a big fuck you to the government. Duh.
