[QUOTE="MisterDeadeye, post: 7461794, member: 611015"] I think it was more that he's a little naive, and doesn't know who to blame. I do think he dislikes the war based on other parts of his lyrics along with what was quoted in the article you linked to. Honestly, as I listen to it more, it kind of sounds like he thinks that servicemen and women like yourself don't know what's going on, and doesn't realize that for a lot of you, the truth is completely opposite. Like we've already established though, he's young and stupid(hell... [I]I'M[/I] young, but still don't know if I'm stupid). Maybe he or his producers were trying to think of a way to gain more publicity. For a rapper, any publicity is good publicity. Most of them are known for being gangster, and being anti-America probably helps give him more credibility in the rap scene. I don't think he really means harm to the people who devote their lives and bodies to what they think is right for the country. As an intelligent person, you've got to understand that as long as there is a large military force driving America to destruction, there will be angry people, and some of them won't understand the situation fully. Most of them don't recognize the need for necessary evil(I'm referring to this on an individual basis -- the necessary evil of joining the services in this day and age). There's also the fact that older, conservative folks tend to be for the war on terror, and the war on drugs, and the war on anything that seems to threaten their perception of America. He's trying to play into that, and you spreading his video around in the name of hate(which you shouldn't do, by the way. Shame on you.) just helps get him bigger. [/QUOTE]
