The Youtube upload has them.
The song is... I dunno, the lyrical subject is pretty heavy for a band like BJ. To do this neither as a "yeah, USA, shoot em all, military is fun!" nor as a critical "man, **** that shit"... is very BJ, I guess - don't piss off anybody! But not sure if it works.
Musically - man, to have a KTF-era take on that track... the basic composition is damn solid, the production (lack of dynamics) and performance hold it back. Although I will say that JBJ's weathered vocals fit the outro better than an 80s howl ever could have. Although a higher harmony vocal in the chorus (Mr Sambora, you there?) certainly would have been nice.

God, this song begs for a Jon/Richie harmony. Your over-all thoughts echo mine big time.
