This is completely on topic b/c it goes to the validity of your posts in general.

And once again, you still have yet to address my point as to why the rapper was not being offensive.
Also, get a better line than GO AWAY. You sound childish and incompetent when you repeat it every time someone says something that you don't like
Should this be "was being offensive"?

I think for rappers to associate their selves to the military at all is offensive, but their right. The message is usually a negative one, more than a positive one.

You may not know who Trace Atkins is or Toby Keith both preform and raise money for soldiers and have never wore any uniform to get a video out there. Wonder how many people 50 cent has helped in his life get ahead Bet he never thought of going to Iraq and preforming or the VA hospital to show his thanks for those who gave their ALL on the front lines.....where those soldiers were sent by our government!

You seem to be assuming they perform for soldiers for reasons other than increasing their profits. Why do you assume that?

I doubt it, it is just a mockery.
