This is also one of my favorite Wilco songs... long time lurker here, but only posted a few times. I've been seeing Wilco live pretty regularly since '04 (25-30 shows)... been interested in Wilco since '02. Was at SSF last year and will be there this year... Big fan of the band. When I saw Wilco last year in Groningen, Netherlands they opened with Sunken Treasure and then played an incredible I'll Fight... what a powerful 1, 2 for a Wilco concert... it was outstanding....

I always thought parts of the lyrics are actually pretty ambiguous: the soldier in the song is dying for his country and family etc but at the same time there's a suggestion that he's fighting for the values of wealthier, pious citizens who aren't fysically on the battlefield.

 

Musically, it's one of the least interesting songs on their worst album.
