Did you know you were going to shoot
Off the top of a four year old girl's head
And look across her car-seat down into her skull
And see into her throat and did you know
That her dad would say to you,
"Please sir, can I take her body home?"
Oh wait, you totally did know... that that would happen
'Cause you're a jock who was too stupid and too greedy
And too unmotivated to do anything else but still be
The biggest and still do what other people tell you to do
You did it to still be a winner
You shot your grenade launcher into peoples windows and
Into the doors of peoples houses why should I care if
You get killed?

jamie said in an interview that he had watched or heard footage of soldiers in iraq pumping themselves up for thier "missions" in a "let's go blow some fucking heads off" kind of way. this resembles what jocks do before a game (mission).
and really is it not blatantly obvious that a very very very large percentage of soldiers were most likely ex-jocks.
i think they carry that brutally competitive, win at any cost, attitude with them to war.
taught to win. winning being the most important mission for them.
that dynamic of their personalities is what jamie, i believe, is refering to. and there is nothing childish about that. it is legitamate.
and regarding his brutal description of the four year old girl's death...its just a very crude but true depiction of situations that iraqi families have been put in.
"please sir, can i take her body home"
