I'm not sure what you mean by "Military people" do you mean the soldiers themselves? Their family? The general public?
One of the most important leaders in the British Military has already said the war in Iraq should not have happened.
It's like flobots said, "we the people did not want war".
Besides, you do realise that they have like two songs on their entire album talking about the war. Only two or three lines in "handlebars" were aimed at the current war in Iraq and afghanistan. They rap about a lot more than war.
I still don't see how RATM are "good" because of their political messages and flobots are not? If you dislike the music then fine but their lyrics have just as much meaning as anything RATM has ever made.
you say, "lame and typical", typical of what? I don't hear many anti-war songs on the radio or in the charts.
I'd rather every single band made songs against the war than songs about their long lost girlfriend or their high school parties and bling bling cars.
Disliking a song is fine, you're entitled to your own opinion. But you could at least have a reason for disliking it.
