"Freedom isn't free", "freedom is not free", or "freedom ain't free" is an idiom in the United States that expresses gratitude for the service of members of the military. It implicitly states that the freedoms enjoyed by many citizens in Western democracies are only possible through the voluntary risks taken and sacrifices made by the military.
There are at least four published songs with this title.
- "Freedom isn't Free" by Paul Colwell circa 1965 formed part of the Up With People repertoire.[1]
- "Freedom ain't free" is by country singer Chris LeDoux, written in 1981 and released by Liberty records on the album Old Cowboy Heroes
- "Freedom isn't free" is by Swedish rocker Yngwie Malmsteen on his 2002 album Attack!!
- A satirical "Freedom isn't free" was written by Trey Parker for the 2004 movie Team America: World Police.
- "American Soldier" by Toby Keith contained the lyric "Freedom don't come free."
The idiom may be used as a rhetorical device.
