about

Happy Holidays!

This was not a song written as a hate speech against the military. Any country needs a military in order to not fall to some corrupt dictator. However, some countries have a rather unfair mandatory military service policy that has not improved since the country's inception and while many of them have exemptions for people who are disabled, they are often disregarded altogether and many disabled citizens wind up in the military despite their legal exemption. People fighting to stand up for their country is great, but when those who are unfit are dragged out of their otherwise busy lives, that is where further problems arise.

The context of the song in particular is about the fictional One Minute Winter's particular universe. Their bandleader and lead gutiarist, V "Sketch" laCroix, is/was a famous conscientious objector that had to dispute her draft (this was decades prior to the time period where the fictional universe is taking place) due to having wound up drafted despite her disabilities that make her legally exempt from the ongoing military conscription. In the hearing she won out and was told by the justices that she can go home safe without the marines bothering her anymore. They lied. She was taken hostage only an hour later and wound up in the same 22nd Marine Corps division that she was instructed to report to. Aside from the obvious fact that she is/was disabled, the military officials did not give her a choice on which branch of the military to join, which was a choice that all conscripts had the right to but she was singled out from, and this was another one of her counterarguments against her military draft, proving that the entire process was botched to begin with.

Back to the "present day" of the fictional universe she refuted the media's attempts to cover up the abduction, further mentioning that if she were not exempt from draft and the draft letter came properly she would have been in the Air Force instead. She would eventually land herself as a Colonel in the Air Force as a means to pay off her taxes, and she would slowly climb her way to being France's first active duty Marshal, just days before also being elected Prime Minister.
