Please refresh my memory-In which branch of the military did Lee Greenwood
Exactly in which branch of the military did Lee Greenwood serve? Besides being a one-hit wonder, exactly what has he done to make himself the great patriot he believes himself to be.

(Do I recall correctly that Greenwood dodged the draft and spent not a single day in Vietnam? Oh, and the song sucks.)

6. Disgusting
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 09:43 PM by Proud2BaLiberalMom
What a jerk.
He can sing about war,
but has never been to war.
Just like rich repugnicans.
They talk about war,
but aren't willing to fight
in one. They'd rather send
poor kid's from small towns,
because to them, they are
expendable.
Disgusting pigs!
Maybe we should call them
rePIGnicans instead.:rant:

"After nearly two decades of touring, Lee Greenwood has gained the reputation of the consumate road warrior...."

I think you better apologize to him.

:rofl:

14. He sings war jingles.
Reminds me of an experience.

When I was at Ft. Drum, they played Proud To Be An American (the only song people know him by) and we SALUTED to scenery during the song. This was during division/brigade meetings for deployments. One of my roommates was 18 yr old Pvt. Wilson. He would cry while the song played (saluting). That's fucking patriotism. Something that goes beyond feelings. Lee might be an asshole or a hypocrite, but that song really does have an effect.
