Also I found a writing on a blog someone wrote after seeing this video that sums the song up pretty well:

"i have had this song stuck in my head ever since i woke up this morning. it was gang of four’s only real commercial radio/top 40 hit in america, which is weird if you consider the honest to goodness disco/funk pop abrasion of their earlier two albums. however, they had streamlined their disco/funk pop abrasion into an ironically consumable formula, setting their usually inflammatory left-wing rhetoric to the dying strains of the disco sound. the song’s smooth R&B feel hides a subtext with tongue planted firmly in cheek that surely sailed right over the multitude of heads and bodies on the dancefloor of any disco circa 1982. soldiers? sexy! rifles? erotic! amputations? well, the picture is clear. to the untrained ear, i’m sure it sounded as harmless as “it’s raining men” by the weather girls. however, with lyrics such as “The good life was so elusive/Handouts, they got me down/I had to regain my confidence/So I got into camouflage”, it seems as if the 45rpm single was dipped in sarcasm before it was shipped off to records stores in anytown, USA."
“The girls, they love to see you shoot.”
