You could call it protest if you want, but I feel like it's just a very real interpretation of war. We veterans get all sorts of labels slapped on us, yet some of us feel like we are doing a good thing, we didn't ask for PTSD, it happens though, we don't ask for the Combat Zone related stress, but it happens. I was stationed in Afghanistan when I bought this CD, and this song moved me so much, thinking about our crews moving through the mountains and hills of Afghanistan trying to turn that place around. This song still puts me in a different mood when I hear it, takes me back to those warm Afghan nights hearing gunships and helicopters breaking up the silence and the wind. Best song on the album imho
