Well, technically a tank is one tank... So having two is having some tanks which is not a tank, so he answers no to "does he have a tank?" because he has more than a tank, or one tank as I stated earlier and more than a tank is not a tank. In short, he said no because he can.

War is fought for a few main purposes. The first being to exploit another group of people, the second being to fight against being exploited, and the third being to fight for survival when the resources essential to survival are scarce, but you don’t see war being fought for the last purpose as often in the modern world. There are things societies can do to lower their rates of exploitation, but it should never be forgotten that it is part of human nature to wish to exploit others, and exploitation will remain an aspect of human life for as long as humans exist. A world without war is a world that must be rampant with slavery, since slaves have the most difficult time rebelling due to their lack of wealth and knowledge, including the knowledge that they are being exploited in the first place, and their lack of mental and physical fortitude.

Condemning war and evil: Rise of Evil, The Final Solution, A Lifetime of War (literally about how war was bad), In the Name of God, Stalingrad, The Price of a Mile, Great War, The End of the War to End War. The lists go on. Sabaton do NOT glorify war. They are a very neutral party in those regards.

@@stephenhancock1578 They actually do trash Christianity, though indirectly, in "A Lifetime of War." "Religion and greed cause millions to bleed." There have been many conflicts since the Protestant Reformation, all the way up to the Irish "Troubles" in the 1970's, where the battle lines between the ostensibly "political" forces could be distinguished just as clearly by the simple difference of which sect of Christianity they profess. That's not the kind of distinction you can ignore, because whether or not religion itself is the motivation, the parishioners on both sides will be praying just as fervently for their own victory while decrying the heretics of the other side. Much like the Crusades, the 30 years war was motivated by political conquest in the name of religion, with lines like from the Catholic ArchDuke of Graz, "I would rather make a desert of this country, than rule over heretics," by which he meant Protestants.

They might know science since some of them have STEM degrees and maybe politics since everyone is involved in it in a democracy or representative democracy in a republic. Thus needing for participation. Whether They are experts or at least any decent, you be the judge.

[@Fordmister]

I mean tbf at least when it comes to green day they often straddle the line between pop rock and punk. Punk as a genre is inherently political, if a punk band didn't get political from time to time then their doing something wrong.

[@teabaggins3517]

Respect from Japan. Nowadays every celebrity, sports player etc., push their political views. Joakim seems to be a very down to earth humble person. He's focusing on what he's good at, making great music and teaching us forgotten history, not virtue signaling and keeps his political views for himself when he casts the ballot. This is soooo rare nowadays. I think when most people hear the band name first time they connect to to Sabbath, and that's why they ask of Christian or Satanic connections.

"We're not politician, listen to smarter people then us" That's quite an understatement. Sabaton (or at least Joakim) is actually a pretty smart guy imho. He's the type of guy you can empty a keg of beer AND have deep philosophical talks with. AND: these days i don't trust politicians. Sorry to say this. There are few with integrity but today most of them are "utterly misguided and self-interested" (quote by Sir Patrick Stewart)

Sabaton would be a good curriculum material for Indonesian schools history lessons, especially how Sabaton shows "history has so many stories that are forgotten" also especially Indonesia hasi this acronym of "JASMERAH" , short for Jangan sekali-kali melupakan sejarah "Never for once we forget history"
