There is more: "Talking about the American soldiers fighting in Iraq, Parton says, 'We can't give them enough praise and honor and thanks. I've always wanted to do a patriotic album and nothing could be more perfect than these days.'" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/to-the-troops-from-dolly/ I won't play the useless stan card by blaming popstars for the horrific crimes committed by the US government. I actually praise Dolly for defending the Dixie Chicks, but you can't come up with that narrative. Dolly was never controversial like Madonna; she is surely a good person, but this doesn't change the fact that she refused to bring politics into discussion for a specific reason.
