How This Works
For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.
For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com is the property of John Ondrasik and is administrated by John and the Five For Fighting management team at Jim Grant Management.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND?
“Political correctness”
Seems to be the thing these days
The politicians send them there
But, it's the Soldier who pays.
These folks are our neighbors
And Sons and Daughters, too
Some are Moms and Dads
Or may be a Friend to you.
They are really human beings
Sent to fight and maybe even die
They're more than, “Boots on the ground.”
At the least, to you and I!
But those who send the orders
And the politicians in DC
Seem to only count the numbers
Of body counts and casualty.
They are somebody's loved one
They'll be missed when they are gone
More than a number on a list
That just goes on and on and on.
We need to make those in power
Realize the Soldiers plight
For calling them, “Boots on the ground.”
Just really is not right.
So, in the name of “correctness”
All should call them what they are
Troops and Warriors who protect us
Both here at home and afar.
Not respected as they should be
And it's time all came around
To knowing all those Heroes are
More than just, “Boots on the ground.”

Can I get this video to pass around my school...I know a few people who need to watch this, and maybe if i can get the school to put it in our morning news, they might stop and think about what they are saying.
If i could get this video that would be awesome thanks

Wow is right, I got chills all over again. I support President bush, the troops and the mission. That unified support is the only REAL support there can be. To liberals like Daren King who try to pick and choose their support, you are fake phonies and are doing a huge disservice to our country and troops!!
Don't you idiots understand that the toppos choose voluntarily to go into battle, even for dolts like you who will never get it?? This has nothing to do with President Bush,but your buddy clinton who you foolishly suppoprt so vihamently, who actually got us into this mess, who caused 911 by not getting Bin Laden when he had the chance in the nineties.
Get on your knees every day and thank God you live in a country where you can be so ignorant and carefree and believe what the communist media tells you, all because of our nations intelligence, military and a true commander in chief that doesn't stick out his thumb in the air to see which way the wind blows before he does what the public tells him to!!

I am a proud Marine wife! My husband is serving his second tour in Iraq. God bless all who have served and God bless their families who serve as well. I am so proud to be an American and can honestly say I have ALWAYS been proud to be an American. May we never forget those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! God Bless America!!

This is so beautiful and moving. As a Soldier's wife as well as one who works everyday with miilitary families it is so wonderful to know that there are those who support the troops. God Bless America and those who SERVE.

I pray for those men an women in the service also for those were fighting, because they do not know what freedom is . God help them! I think they cannot make the younger generation aware enough of what our service men are doing so they can have the right to be free. I love this country and our people.

My son just became a US Marine. This is a very touching tribute to those who are willing to lay down their life for democracy....even when they are so very young.
Thank you!

My grandfather was wounded twice in the Civil War, my father was in the National Guard during WWII because he had 5 children and they wouldn't take him in the Army, my grandson is a Staff Sgt. in the Army and has served a tour in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan. Bless all those who serve and have served.

I have never served in the Armed Forces and never had to sign up for the draft. I am older now and feel somewhat empty for never having done so. I have nothing but total respect for all those who have served and are serving this Country today.
A person may say they don't support the war but they support the soldiers. What ever happened to "My Country right or wrong"? We have no where else to go that gives us the chances and choices we have here, to make our lives what we want. No support for the war ultimately means no support for the soldier who is out there trying to do his mission the best he can and wants to complete the task to make it worth the blood, sweat and tears. They must be able to complete the mission with total and complete support or there is no chance of winning. Read your history.
Very good video and song!

Our country, Land of the Free, this is where I was born, this is where I live, this is where I will die. I served, I have the utmost respect for those that have had the courage to step up to the plate and put on the uniform of any branch of service. Without them, this country would have gone under a long time ago, and our politicians may yet manage to do what our enemies have not been able to do, and that is to destroy this country from within.

we can support our troops. but we DO NOT have to support bush and his decisions. we need to get our friends and family out of all the hell holes bush has put them in.
posted by Daren King on 4/16/08 6:56: PM
How can we not support our troups who give us the ability to say and do what we want. God bless them all.

Outstanding and emotional video, thank you John. And thank you the American service(man/woman)for the sacrifice you make in your call to duty. I pray dear God that you protect them and bring them back home safely.
