Fight for Freedom - Music Video
Ok, I don't want to confuse anyone. I disagree with the sentiment of this video. I don't think anyone is freed by shooting guns unless they are freed from this mortal coil. I think if you want freedom you have to wage freedom. If you want peace you must wage peace. I believe in non-violent activism. Ghandi is my hero.
Although I posted the YouTube I found this video at The Internet Archive an important resource aka the internet library.

Here's the text describing the video.
The "Fight for Freedom" Music Video - The United States Military Armed Forces who serve under the American flag and fight to preserve freedom are honored in this music video. Most of the video includes the United States Marines as well as the U.S. ARMY while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The comments are interesting.
i would say that this is laughably bad, but there's nothing funny about bad art.
1. The video probably has good intentions (I hope)
in honoring US fighters in Afghanistan and
Iraq but I think that the music possibly could
have been a bit better composed (?) The video
is not so good, sorry.
2. I looked hard for symbolism after reading
the previous reviews: the right wing
propaganda,the left wing propaganda.
All I see is pictures of helicopter, tank,
US fighters shooting and being shot at,
marching around, with flags, without flags.
It looks like war but that's about it.
Unless you have relative or loved ones in the
battlefield (I have nephew on ground in Iraq)
or yourself on battlefield, why are people
argue so much? Save your energy
for really important things like helping
troops re-adjust when they come back from war,
or helping starving people. This war will end
like all wars, we cannot help the dead but
we can honor them and help the living. Thank
you.
The world is full of "socially left minded people" that want to see damage or harm come to our culture and society, because we do practice FREEDOM every day as Americans. Freedom is honored and respected. There will always be those who take for granted the right to propagandize the POWER of Freedom and also propagandize defending PEACE.

It is true that reality has a liberal bias. And it is even more true that Protest Music has a liberal bias. But there is a vibrant genre of conservative Protest Songs and although I disagree with most of them and find them musically bland I still uphold their right to protest alongside mine.
With every rule there is an exception.

Now it just don't get no better than that.
Open music thread. Please post embeds or links to your favorite right wing protest music. Or any music.
Thanks,
