Sorry to nitpick, but it's been driving me crazy.

I think Stevie means that it is the song that
she most revers.
I think the song does rever the soldiers, but I also think it is less reverent than
Desert Angel and that it's purpose is to indict through tragedy. That's why I think she discusses it in terms of brutality and ominousness and not as a tribute.
