I think it's a nonissue. Why should i care if someone takes an overly sentimental exercise in nationalism and rewrites it a bit? I think the national anthem should be updated. They should throw in a few verses about the cold war, brinksmanship, proxy wars, massive self deception, conditional support for the spread of democracy, oil based foreign policy, etc. You get the point, there really is so much more to america than is actually said in the national anthem.
