Yeah, sure you can, it's more about that "they are heroes" thing, because soldiers that do offensive wars aren't heroes for me, they're murderers.cheesedip1 wrote:Blackbird wrote:Mad props to Ashlee and abw for those extensive reviews! That really got the hype train rolling for me even more than it already was anyway!
I'm a little bit worried about the overall theme of the album, and especially You Will Be Remembered because I'm a huge opponent of glorifying the military, especially the US army which has a rich history of not "defending" their country but rather killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people for stupid reasons, and it makes me kinda sad that my favourite band is a bunch of patriots, but hell, I love those guys anyway and their music is the best thing in the world.
You can support the troops and yet disagree with some of the military's actions at the same time. The two arent mutually exclusive.
EDIT: But this doesn't have to do anything with AB anymore, so we should probably get back to topic. :)
