Thread Name: Songs Critical of Military Service
Subject: RE: Songs Critical of Military Service
Not quite clear what the OP is asking for, which seems to be at odds with the title he has given his thread. The last post, from Dave Hanson, names songs which are critical of the services and their demands on those who serve. But Guest C William seemed to be asking for songs critical of those who actually opt for service and choose to become professional fighting men, rather than those who are pressed or underhandedly recruited {as in Press Gang, Macaffery}, or of those who recruit them or try to do so {Arthur McBride, Recruiting Sgts}.

These are not identical, but rather opposed, requirements. Which are we being asked for?
