    I spent 31 years of my adult life wearing a US Army uniform. I spent the majority of that 31 years living in foreign countries constantly being asked about America's pride and arrogance in flag and country, because, yes, we are fanatic about it. We fight among ourselves, push and shove, and call each other names, and we make stupid decisions a lot of the time, but let some bully from outside the American family push any member of the family, and the wrath of God would descend upon them. I could go on and on...but, don't worry Millie, I'll bet everyone watching this reaction was tearing up also...including this 80 year old man. God bless both of you.

      My father spent 3 years in the U.S. navy and another 26 in the U.S. army. He couldn't find a job after college and the navy wanted him to start over as a seaman recruit. The army gave him credit for his 3 years of service during WWII plus 2 years of credit for his 4 years of college. He entered the army as a corporal just in time to be sent to Korea. He also served in Vietnam in 1965-66 and retired out of the Presidio in San Francisco in 1968. I am proud of his service to our country and proud to be his daughter.
      I miss you, Dad.

You can take an American out of America but you won’t kill that spirit. ❤️

    In 2006, I was in Afghanistan. Toby Keith was supposed to do a concert for us at around 8 pm. He didn't get there until 2 am, he got hung up in Iraq. The place was packed. We all waited for him to come in. It was a great show, all acoustic. He always cared about the troops.

      There are a few great animated channels that compensate for this and cover many topics around Europe, Asia and Africa.

We became crazed with a rabid kind of hurt and anger and this song capsulated the sense of vengeance and accountability that we craved back then. I joined the military because of it.

    Toby Keith is indeed a patriot and I’ve never seen a musician express so much love and respect to those who serve. Saw him live once and after each song, he raised his drink in a toast “This goes to those who serve day and night, whether here or overseas, but more importantly, to those who are no longer with us.” Every. Song. He repeated that toast, as if he dedicated each song and performance to them.

      Got to see him performance this live back in September 2021, and even from way up in the stands, it was probably the best version I've heard to date.
      It was also the first time I heard "Old School" which has become a new favorite since then.

    I always enjoy your reactions, but I really needed to hear this song again. I remember the pride and defiance generated when the song came out. Here we are 21 years later and it's hard sometimes to realize that our own politicians are sending this country (USA) down the drain. What can you do? I know the people of the U.S. are just as patriotic and positive as they once seemed, but the world situation just seems to be piling up on itself. If you believe in prayer, please pray for the world situation and hang on to hope.

I then remembered that we aren't alone. Her Majesty reminded me of that.

    Here's a little back story for you regarding this song. When Toby was asked about it he replied that when 9/11 happened he wrote down his feelings at the time and was also thinking about how his father might have felt. This how the song came about. He performed it for the military members but never had any intentions of actually releasing it publicly as it was very personal to him. A commander at one of the bases told him he had to release it as it was needed. Because of this Toby released it. Ironically when our 4th of July rolled around he was supposed to perform at one of the celebrations that was sponsored by a major TV network here. A well know news anchor who was hosting the show (who interestingly enough was Canadian) asked Toby to remove the line "with a boot up your a$$" from the song. Toby refused and the network rescinded their invitation for him to perform.

Watched it all unfold in front of my eyes on live TV. It was like a bad nightmare. I think I can speak for almost every American during this time that we were still feeling anger, sadness, shock, confusion etc., for months and months after 9/11. There was a large group of us just hanging out one warm day in our small hometown in North Georgia when this song played on our small town station for the 1st time. Want to talk about pumped up!! Especially the part about "we'll stick a boot in your a ss. It's the American way." We lost it. Hated those days, but loved them, too. It made us stop and really think about what mattered in life. We're unfortunately so far from that now.
