       So the word is that rapper/producer Soulja Boy is still dealing with problems from the troops , but the crazy part  is that he deserves what every the troops are giving to him due to his disrespectful statement "F*** the army troops" in which was a part of an anti-army track that was available on his new album. First I am confused on why Soulja would have the ordasity to disrespect people who risk their lives to protect us and this country?

    "The song entitled, “Let’s Be Real” also includes lyrics like 'F**k the FBI and the army troops… fighting for what? Be your own man … I’ll be flying through the clouds with green like I’m Peter Pan.'
Fred A. Flores, a retired Marine and currently a commissioner for the L.A. County Veteran’s Advisory Commission, told TMZ that he was very offended by the rap.
    'It’s a very offensive statement … especially with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up.'
He added that the rapper is “ungrateful.' '[The rap] is very irresponsible,' Flores stated … 'especially for a person who is an entertainer for the youth of our country."(http://www.eurweb.com/2011/09/soulja-boy-says-f-the-army/)

 The story gets even more crazy when Soulja Boy and his representatives gave an apology on Globalgrind.com:

    “As an artist, I let my words get the best of me. Sometimes there are things that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put them on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong. When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics.”
    “As a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our country fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. I have seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed in battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this country are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if we had never gone to war. Where would our economy be? Our schools, our after-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got shot in New York City just this past weekend … in 3 days … I’m not saying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point we have to take care of our own people.”
   “In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms … a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in … In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven’t been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry.”

    Either way Soulja Boy should be doing all kinds of army campaigns and fundraisers for the troops. With him saying that he would do free concerts for the troops, but I don't know, this song is really out of pocket and I do not know what he can do to make things right but he would want to creative and do it fast because the apology really didn't do anything. Here is the video that created all of this:
