These aren’t really apt comparisons. None of the them are calling for the military to go and kill a citizen of another country.

There’s plenty more. Or are you just being obtuse on purpose?

How about you read the lyrics and see that for all of the patriotic bluster, they don't even say a group or nation that of people should be on the receiving end of the requested military force. Just that they should go do the thing somewhere to the people who hit first. You're comparing that to someone calling out specific people for death.

I hope you can see why your comparison immediately falls apart.

In your own words:-

calling for the military to go and kill a citizen of another country

Are Iraqis in Iraq not citizens of another country?

Have you read the lyrics? Do you struggle with understanding context?

Oh, and justice will be served and the battle will rage This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage And you'll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A. 'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass It's the American way Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you Oh, brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
