I thought the song was a riot!

It's so easy to call a person who has been in combat and/or a military careerist a "war mongerer," but that moniker is far from accurate. Military folk are the LAST to want war, as they know from first-hand experience the hell, panic, terror, fear, pain, suffering (then and later) and loss better than anyone miles away trying to vicariously "feel" in the comfort of their living room and the fridge an arm's length away.

It is especially easy for someone who never has had the "joys of combat" to misunderstand the concept of "being ready and willing" as compared to "seeking battle." usually it's the diplomats who throw their hands in the air and say, "this requires a military solution," where the military folk will keep seeking a diplomatic solution because they know all-too-well what that "military solution" means in lives, limbs, minds and souls.

If one looks at the music and films of WWII, there were many that promoted the "bombing back to the Stone Age) solution as the way to go.

Oh yes, and if the song offended the Iranians, tough! I can still remember the 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981.
