"In other words, don't be so literal." - Charmion

Precisely what I have been saying from the word go.

The song "Hanging on the old barbed wire" is not a condemnation of anyone it is an example of "Black Humour" not to be taken literally as some have suggested here.

Also taken your point and agree wholeheartedly about such songs being "owned" by those who faced the hardship - God help anyone who hadn't who tried to tell those men what the they think the song means.

Still no songs that are dismissive or critical of leadership.
