I don't find songs of that nature 'revolting' any more than I find the national anthem, God Bless America or America the Beautiful revolting.
I think her song covers both her reasons for going to visit the troops and her feelings about how she was treated in her homeland upon returning. Is there a difference between her song and, say, Sunday, Bloody Sunday(April 4) by U2 or 'If I Had a Rocket Launcher" by Bruce Cockburn? Personally, they all have their place, they're all good tunes and they all say something besides "Be My Baby"; they're commentary. Some aren't so good-I think this one is. But that's why there's rock, opera, country, et al. Not everyone is going to like the same things.
