I love Green Day and own the CD. But I was disappointed in the play. I felt like they sold out. The patriotic bit at the end just didn't seem like the message Green Day was trying to send. I always thought they were anti establishment in true psuedo punk fashion.
It is possible that the version we saw was a little different, because it seemed not so patriotic, but more like anti-patriotic. The kid that gets caught up in the military propaganda (in our show, it was definitely staged as propaganda) and goes off to war ends up losing his leg.
