Yet they praise their "patriotic" songs and how self-righteous they are.
It would be like Paris Hilton singing about growing up poor or Clay Aiken in a relationship with a female.
Does this piss off any former military men/women here?

yah, i agree with everybody else on this one. toby keith sang a song about it. his dad served in the military. darrell worley sang a song about it. same thing. he has close family members in the military. and, as somebody else said, why do you have to serve in order to write a song?
