I remember back when I first heard this song I would go around to all my friends explaining that it was "a song about war disguised as a song about sex disguised as a song about war." I'd say that pretty much sums it up right there.
It starts off with him making cheeky sexual innuendo based around the topic - "I'll be the atheish in your foxhole," "If you've got guns, well now's the time for sticking." However, as you listen to it closer, these start to turn back around on themselves into a serious discussion. I feel it is one of the more powerful anti-war songs out there, and am upsetted a little that it didn't get the popularity it deserves.
However, when I did tell my friends about it, I always make sure to give a proper shout-out to TheTANK up a few comments from here. The one who made up the "war as a metaphor for love as a metaphor for war" line.
