Country music star Brad Paisley teamed up with classic rock legend John Fogerty to create a musical masterpiece that explosively addresses the usage and poor treatment of both soldiers and veterans.
“One of the more important things I’ve ever said and I’m so honored to say it with John Fogerty,” the country singer said in the caption of his music video.

The video, shot in San Diego, California, incorporated a variety of military icons and emotional testimonies, kicking off their fiery performance with one goal in mind: respect our heroes.
The song’s chorus deeply struck listeners as it explosively admitted, “And they say all is fair in Love and War/ But that ain’t true, it’s wrong/ They ship you out to die for us/ Forget about you when you’re done.”
