Where would music be today without politically themed songs? Just because you don't agree with the message doesn't justify you telling Mr. Isbell what he should and should not write about.

How are they "dishonoring you"? They are simply taking a tragedy of our wars, that unfortunately happened to a fellow soldier, that someway effected them and the people that cared about him. You sir are dishonoring yourself, you who are fighting for our freedom of rights, by keeping the Americans your fighting for that may not be in the military from expressing their feelings. Don't be a close-minded jackass.

it wouldn't be right to have the Drive-By Truckers members sensor their true beliefs, and in turn express their true emotions as well as they have in song. That is what makes them special. If you don't like it, take it with a grain of salt.Would you ask the same of all of Neil Young's songs? Or Rage Against the Machine? It's a good thing artist's still hold the creative hand in this modern world.

The war isn't failing, violence is down over 80% in iraq, we didn't take a single casualty in Baghdad last month. You sir, should face the FACTS.

I was an infantryman in the army, saw stuff in iraq I wouldn't want anyone to see, but guess what, I SIGNED UP. Nobody makes us go and YOU are not making the sacrifice, so you got nothing to say. I don't want to hear you dis-honor my dead friends.To the Drive By truckers, I've always been a fan of your music, but this song, and "that man I shot" really pissed me off. You still play well, but lets leave the political/war stuff out of it.
