The mangling of the lyrics is disgusting. The song is about two lovers from East & West Berlin who met in the shadow of Checkpoint Charlie on the Berlin Wall, within site of the studios where Iggy Pop and David Bowie were recording. The word 'hero' has been co-opted for political ends. So the logic goes, all soldiers are 'heroes', but that makes any objective statement or - God forbid - criticism of a 'hero' well nigh impossible. Charities shouldn't look after soldiers - governments should.
Over 1.2 million men,women,children in Iraq and Afghanistan lie dead at the hands of these men. there only crime ? being born a Civilian of there country. The British army are not the victim's of these war's. As British an American governments raped there country of it's Natural resources. As a Mainstream media bought and paid for force fed the British and American people with lies and Propaganda. Now Soldiers wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq could be made redundant ????
im 12- y anyone would dislike this video i dont know, i wanna be in the army when im older cos all these people have fought for our country and died and we will never get them back but we can do other things that r just as good xx RIP everyne xx
some of those photos makes me get a lump in my throat cos i wanna cry :(
i love this song
and my grandad was in war and he survived but my grandads best friend died and my grandad tells storys about him and this song helps me imagine my grandad and his best friend in war

I'm in the Royal Navy, and seeing things like this give all members of the armed forces 'strength to carry on' as the song says, knowing that people back in the UK are thinking about us. and as for the people who disrespect the memories of those who have lost their lives, just rememner that for a time when maybe YOU will need US. much love x
My cousin and uncle are both in the RAF. My cousin says these songs make her sad because it reminds her of all of her friends that were out there and since died.
the 4 people who dislike this are clearly pricks because the british and alied froces are out in afghanistan risking there lives to protect yours....at least they have the guts to go out and risk there lives and i for one cant wait untill i can join the forces and go and fight along side the brave men and women of our forces!!!
My brother is in the army and is going out to risk his life. people who are disrespectful need to understand that the people who train hard in the camps, are going out to save YOUR lifes, if it wasn't for them then.. well you know exactly what would happen! .. Helpforhero'sAlways! <3
my brother is a soldier in the Marine Corps, and i find it highly disrespectful that people are saying that our solders are killing 'innocent civilians.' whether they do or not, they are protecting our country, and everybody in it. i respect our soldiers..and i think other people should too. thanks bye.
love listening to this song makes me think about how the familys of the people who are dieing over there must be feelin,RIP all those who have died over there and my heart goes out to there family xx
@welshrarebeats i dont want to be a pain but I am a Sergant in the Royal Army Medical Corps and i have seen collages friends and more loss the lives and be injured while helping others both friend and foe because thats what we as medics do best, help those who need medical aid in combat and peace-military or civilian and I do become deeply sadden by people who put the military down and those who have lost their lives in the name of this great nation while helping others We keep this country safe
@madmedic99 I eventually want to become a medic and do what I can to help in Afganistan and other places like it. I know how difficult it can be out there, since my two big brothers have just been deployed to Afganistan again(i've lost count of how many times they've gone on tour now and i always worry for them)and they always say how much they miss home. They're part of the reason I want to do something meaningful with my life so just wanted to say I have a lot of respect for what you guys do.
@MissPebbles241 good luck (and not in a sarki way) its people like you we need who want to help fallen freinds get back on their feet and continue with their lives. And ur brothers are right you do miss home but you and your mates get over it. The MOD is a gd career choice, the people you meet you will never forget. hope it all goes well with u and ur brothers.
@madmedic99 I know how you feel but not about being in the Army i have and uncle in there and he is one of the fighting people and i'm and Air cadet myself and i too find it disrespectful, arrogant, and everything above that they discriminate against all the rest all because of one who can't achieve his/ her purpose, role and responsibilities. Not all of you are the same. So i am totally with you on this.
@welshrarebeats i dont mean to be a pain but if that comment is being focused at Her Majersty's Armed Forces then I would like to ask you to please bit your tounge. I am a Combat Medical Technician (MOD Paramedic with an SA80) and I have seen collages and close friends of mine who where also medics, who are no longer with us or critically .
Im going to the army soon, im a 16 year old willing to lay my life down in the name of ma country, you should respect these brave men and always buy the charity cd's
i love this song so much wen i listen 2 it i really think hard about all those soliders that have risked there lives for us and i feel ever so gratefull 4 what they are doin but i feel so upset to think some one has lost there mum or dad husband or wife i can really relate to this song

Incinerated partial remains of at least 274 troops were reportedly dumped at landfill between 2004-08 by the largest military mortuary in the US.
The Washington Post report was based on data from Dover Air Force Base, the main entry port for US war dead.
The newspaper first broke the story last month, but it was not known how many remains were dumped at landfill.
Families, who had agreed for the remains to be disposed of respectfully, were unaware of the practice.
