I wonder if the song is really ‘anti-war’, or if that is how CNN is spinning it. I do remember that he made Michelle Malkin’s list of celebrities that support the troops.
The point is simple- some like Michael Moore lie about the troops. The say they care between their attacks on troops portraying them as blood thirsty, stupid, and abusive. With all their caring, little to nothing goes to those they so care about. The Iraq war for Michael Moore is nothing more than a stage where he can get some good “shock” footage to use in a controversial low budget film that will make milions.
Billy Joel is different. Even if he’s anti-war, he’s not attacking the soldier and he’s putting his money where his mouth is. So, while BJ might be misguided in his views, he’s not a bottom feeding low life slob like a Michael Moore.
