Sixteen Military Wives

This song is about the lives of groups of people during wartime. The underlying message the song is talking about is the ignorance of Americans, and the unnoticed suffering of those who have a loved one overseas. We know this because it continually quotes the TV person saying useless blabber. Also, the song is laid out so it brings the suffering of the military wives up at the beginning, and then it is forgotten about until vaguely at the end of the song. Similar to the society that the song describes actions.
