[edit] Purpose

There has been a minor, unnoticed edit war about the purpose of this song. Personally, I'm inclined to think that it probably was written in support of the war in Afghanistan and not Iraq, as Iraq really wasn't heavily in people's minds when the song came out, but I have no basis for that. Can anyone cite a reliable source where Mr. Worley or one of the writers, etc. clears it up one way or the other? TysK 02:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The song came out not long after the invasion of Afghanistan, and the song was directed at people who didn't think we should fight a war on terror at all. "This war" refers to the overall war on terror, not the Iraq War. Defense Mechanism (talk) 01:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Word choice

It would be more encyclopedic-sounding if an adjective other than ass-load was used.

[edit] Copyright problem?

Isn't quoting the entire lyrics of a song (see diff) normally a copyright violation? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 23:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
