Is that in the leusure time the soldiers listen to Disturbed songs, while disturbed is known to be the most anti-political band in the world.

I don't see how that's absurd. It makes perfect sense.

The frontman for Disturbed wrote Indestructible to "pump up" soldiers going to war.

a soldiers (did they go voluntarily or not?) who are fighting in a political war listens to a band that is know for being antipolitical. how i that making perfect sense? they were listening to "droppin' plates" and not indestructible. also indestructible isnt written for pumping up soldiers.

They don't draft people into the US infantry or paratroopers.

who are fighting in a political war listens to a band that is know for being antipolitical.

I don't think they really give a stuff about the politics.

how i that making perfect sense?

They probably just like the music.

also indestructible isnt written for pumping up soldiers.

The frontman for the band has explicitly stated this. Just google the lyrics, it's not very subtle.
