'American Soldier,'Toby Keith (2003)
Proudest Lines: "I will always do my duty, no matter what the price/I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice/Oh and I don't wanna die for you, but if dyin's asked of me/I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free"
In Keith's 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,' he tells terrorists, "We'll put a boot up your ass/It's the American way."

Wait a minute. Is AOL trying to pass of Toby Keith as a patriot? Toby Keith???!!! Toby Keith who got so indignant over the fact that OTHERS got indignant over the shredding of the American constitution? That makes him a patriot? Of what country -- the Soviet Union?

Wait a minute. Is AOL trying to pass off Toby Keith as a patriot? Toby Keith??!!! The guy who got so pissed off about AMERICANS having the nerve to object to their beloved Constitution being shredded? That makes him a patriot? Of what country -- the Soviet Union?

I AM A GRANDMOTHER AND A BIG FAN OF TOBY KEITH. MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE HE IS FROM OK. AND I LIVE IN TEXAS. WE HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS. WE TAKE MATTERS LIKE PATRIOTISM PERSONALLY AND ARE WILLING TO "BOOT" ANYONE WHO DOESN'T. REMEMBER THE ALAMO !!!

Any Top 10 Patriotic songs list without Fighting Side of Me or Okie from Muskogee by Merle Haggard is a sham. Merle was patriotic during the Viet Nam war when it was NOT the popular thing to do. I do think some of the "patriotic" songs to day are written by opportunists

To all you haters Toby singes the song American soldier
from a soldiers point of view. Toby has never said he served just that his Dad did. Just to inform you Toby does go overseas to intertain the troups as he is to old to join. How many other big stars do wait must just yell about the troups being over there , these great you men and women are just following orders. so why dont you all write then a ty.

Toby is one of the few celebrities that entertains the troops overseas. You don't see the dimwit dixie chicks doing that. They go on concert to Britain, and run down our country and commander in chief in another country. Their CDs make great birds for skeet shooting!

So Toby Keith writes a song about a brave American Soldier and what he believes that soldier is fighting
for and the Politically Correct Brigade get all upset and start whinning, grow up you ass*oles he is telling a story from a soldiers point of view and like me is too old to actually join these brave men but he makes more trips overseas to entertain the military than most of the other stay at home would be patriots. I stand and salute you Toby we MUST show our brave troops that we are behind them 100% that we support their families and that whenever danger threatens we will always be there to support our brave men and women who risk their lives every day. "FREEDOM DONT COME FREE"
(P.S. I am British not American but i salute your patriotism and if the day comes i will proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with my American Brothers and Sisters as our forefathers did many years ago - "Remember the Alamo" NO SURRENDER

TOBY KEITH IS ONE OF THE BEST. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER IS A GREATEST AND I AM A GREEN BERET RETIRED WHEN TWENT YEARS OF SERVICE.
YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED UNTILL YOU HAVE ALMOST DIED. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, LIFFE HAS A SPECIAL FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW".

Toby Keith is nothing but a thug. He really isnt much better than Saddam. What a friggin waste. People like him is the reason this country is in this mess.

I think Koby Keith & the other song writers & singers say & sing how they all feel about our
Country & they are letting us all know we are 1
when it comes to the United States of America!!!
& want the troops to know that we are there for them and we pray for all our troops who are fighting for us The United States of America

I LOVE TOBY KEITH, HES NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK HIS MIND, AND TELL THE TRUTH. IM SORRY IF MOST OF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND OR ARE JUST AFRAID TO SEE THE WORLD IN REALITY. BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. HIS WORDS SPEAK TO ANY TRUE PATRIOT.
GO ASK A VETERAN,OR A SOLDIER,AND SEE WHAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE ABOUT TOBY KEITH, CHANCES ARE THEY THINK PRETTY HIGHLY OF HIM -
