"Stupid, Stupid War"' — D.R.I.

You think you look good in your new uniform Starched and pressed into the perfect norm Until uncle Sam puts a gun in your hand Points you in the wrong direction and says, "kill that man!" Well, I don't fit into your plan You can't make me kill, man You can't make me kill a man You can't make me kill and I won't fight your stupid war Believe me, I'm not your slave I won't fight in your war games The C.I.A. Can't make me play The world's running into problems now That doesn't mean we have to fight it out Well, I don't fit into your plan You can't make me kill, man You can't make me kill a man You can't make me kill and I won't fight your stupid war I won't fight your stupid war I won't fight when there's nothing to fight for Nothing to fight for Nothing to fight f** for

I chose this song because it really made me think about how the writer felt about the war and this really made it hook me. I think that this song stood for a person that might be drafted to the war because he says that "it is a stupid war because there is nothing to fight for". This shows me that he does not want to go into the war if he was drafted. Also it seems to me that he is implying that the u.s. didn't know what they were fighting for and they were just fighting because the U.S. didn't want the domino effect with communism. This is why the U.S. got into the war in the first place, they were scared of Communism. This song really doesn't make people want to take action ad do some thing about the war but the write does have an opinion on the war in this case it is a stop the war one.
