"Give me an "F"!"

This song to me that we played in class really got me going. Up until I heard this song I thought I took the side of most who were against the Vietnam war, mind you I still am, but this song sticks it straight to the man, which I dont mind, but i feel it's borderline offensive to those who have fought who decided not to runaway from the draft, those who ran away had balls too but mind you it is harder to live then it is to die, take that how you will it can have to meanings. Anyways the way that he says "Be the first one on your block to have your son come home in a box." makes my heart break for the ones who died and those who experienced loss. My grandfathers bestfriend died, and I think had I been in his situation if I heard him even singing sarcastically about glorifying the war I'd be down right perterbed and distraught. It's not like any of them wanted to die let alone see their loved ones die, it was a tough time those drafted were caught between a rock and a hard place, your "damned if you do it, damned if you don't." You were a coward if you followed the draft order, you were a coward if you ran. I agree however with the overall message of the song and the point he's getting a cross i'm just not sure personally how I feel about the lyrics, but i think it's because a loved one went through that, I think to those who had no idea and still have no idea, that message will put it very plainly to them in a way that they won't forget, it will have shock value.
