How do you tell a guy "thankyou for your service to our country, but because of that service we don't want you to sing".

The day your show gets to that point of "thank you for your service to our country, but we don't won't you to sing" because of too much "bang-bang", please tell me you didn't tell him he can't sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not funny, nor should it come to the point of making fun, which is the way i see this post.
He was there so now, you, hopefully, want have to be.
