I don't really agree with the allegation that the song's message is ironic as Joe Strummer considered himself a pacifist, at least he turned into one over the years. For a leftist and unconventional thinker in general the army is not the most comfortable place, so I think his anti-military statement makes sense and was probably honest.
But I'm not sure if the article's statement was just meant to emphasize how ironic it actually was that a punk rock band did come up with such messages; I would agree with that indeed. --212.7.136.7722:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
