Song Review - Traveling Soldiers by Dixie Chicks

The lyrics are great story teller. The story starts with a guy who just past 18 years old is going to the army green. It seems that his family doesn't care about him. He even ask a girl he just met in cafeteria whether he can send her letter as he has no one to send to. The pretty girl waits for him as he is in war. One day she found out that he was dead in Vietnam War. She was desparated. It is a very sad story. It is so true and I think it really happens. I think Chicks wanted to say that they are so against war. It is a sad song, good melody though.
