BULL$HIT!
Just like Rob Halford, his true talent is his ambiguity...

Springsteen has always been a lying, duplicitous, America hating faggot!

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up now
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA, now
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Send me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said, "Son, if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said, "Son, don't you understand, now?"
Oh, yeah
No, no
No, no, no
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fightin' off them Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burnin' down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA, oh
Born in the USA
I'm a long-gone daddy in the USA, now
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the USA, now

And our President was a draft dodger...Mr military

Born in the USA is spot on, its not anti American to stick up for the vets who got screwed by the governmrnt. Promises of housing and education snd great jobs..

They got [naughty word removed] when they came back

THAT'S what that song is about. And still true BTW vets still get [naughty word removed] I just talked to one too weeks ago, he said ups won't deliver packages on the Va community he lives. A guy who risked his life for this country, paralyzed, cant get a fuckin package delivered to him.

And not only did the government screw the vet, the people spit on them.

Its not anti American to speak up, silence is un-American.

That said this song and born in the USA are light years away
