Oh boohoo, god forbid a song title should offend your warporn-shaped sensibilities for a split second. Guess what - if you sign up as a volunteer to serve in the military while in the middle of a war, you're just as guilty for the perpetuation of that war as anybody else.
No, it doesn't make it okay to kill Iraqis just because they wanted a cheap college education, or - let's be honest here - because they bought into a sick, slick ad campaign that touted the virtues of shooting brown foreigners on other continents.
God forbid you have to actually spend a critical moment and question the orthodox military worship of the US that is in large part directly responsible for all of this disastrous militarism, in the context of the lyrics to a silver mt. zion song no less. You're smarter than that - don't just spew out jingoistic bumper-sticker garbage because it's the fashionable groupthink of this decade. American soldiers don't need to be defended from the title of a pop song.
