There's A War Going On For Your Mind

[jgruber0922]

I hope you guys can understand that the photos in this video have nothing to do with the song. I support the war 100% and i would fight for my country anyday, but i also strongly agree with the words in this song. Close your eyes and listen to this song and you will see that the Flobots are not protesting the war. They are making a moral statement about OUR morals. So dont bash our PAST president just beacuse you are against the war. Listen.

[azothdaco]

Governments create the wars of profit that send our children to war!

[skeight976]

theres a revolution going on 2012 should be good stuff

[ProDiGy7o7]

without a military in my opinion a government is nothing ,without a government theres no one to lead a military,with out people niether can even exist

[BlahBlahUsername1]

"governments aint got shit to do with it"

sigh, how naive.

Governments have EVERYTHING to do with "it". Who do you think holds the reigns? Military? The military is sent off by government, who is SUPPOSED to be working for "the people", but the people are too ignorant, and stupid to ask questions, and demand. Too busy fighting one another, too busy worried about the new trend, and if they can pay the bills.

We're all fucked, and its out own doing.

Support our troops, STOP WAR

[whiskylimped]

@Rpgsk8 Support our troops, STOP OUR WAR? I am on leave. I am a Ranger. I have lost 3 close friends in Afghanistan. We came into this war with a very clear msision. To kill the fuckers responsible for 9/11 and to bring stability and a government to Iraq and Afhganistan. If we leave before that mission is complete my friends died for nothing. To support your troops you have to support the war they're fighting for. The war that they support themselves. Why else would we be in Iraq and Afghanistan?

[skatemore3113]

They dont have a damn clue who is responsible.

9 of the alleged 13 people who were on the planes when they hit WTC are still alive. Im not saying I dont respect everything you do, but your fighting for the better of the wealthy and they arent afraid to lie to you about why.

[whiskylimped]

@skatemore3113 The most ignorant and and stupid people in the world are conspiracy theorist, and those who murder in the name of religion. Have you been to Iraq? Have you seen the innocent people there who are tortured by the Taliban simply because they were seen talking to American troops? If you don't believe in America's war then believe in the men, women, and children who die everyday in Afghanistan because of starvation, disease, or murder. Those people live in fear every day of their lives

[futbolfever90]

@whiskylimped Those 'conspiracy theorists' you are referring to, by logic, cannot be the most ignorant. They are the ones asking the most questions and providing alternative ideas to certain events. The ones who blindly believe and follow are the ignorant.

[19DiJonMusTard97]

@whiskylimped your so true man you just cant leave until you show them that they cant come to america and do what they did on 9/11 i support you man in every way i can peace!

[max29297]

Wow, that was good.

[stik2daman78]

its sad people are trying to protest against war and they are geting killed because of thet

[seifer93]

@lonie727 whats so funny?

[77MilitiaMan]

it's raining pornography. LOVERS Take Cover! : ( so sad and true....

[0hiyou]

There's no mandated draft, only the implicit draft of poverty and unemployment leaving few options for young people in poor areas but to enlist. These areas are targeted by army recruiters.

[R4nD0MnAME]

i like how the little girl is like "Ooooohhhhhh an AK," but i love the song

[defencekid16]

are troups are their because they want to be, not because they were forced to, they weren drafted ass holes

[BenTheBozer]

@defencekid16 maybe you should of been drafted with your grammer.

[Prizefyter]

Nice spelling. Correction: Grammar.

LAWL!

[GeorgeWBush21]

Words can not match the pain of a single bullet.

[mustanglp50]

how come nobody adresses the fact that obama is doing the same things and adding new ways of amplifying the government

[TokenTombstone]

there is nothing to support, other than bring out troops home!

[SeedofCreed]

If you are still thinking your winning

[lonewolfassault]

While the video is touching. And your meaning is understood, the combination of video and music have nothing to do with each other. The song details the commercialization of the world, and the lack of control people have on their own lives. Not the America's war with the middle east.

[pwnize]

0:40 is very sad that is the most touching seen ever

[ZombieArsonist]

There songs have alot of meaning behind them you just have to listen. If you have a problem with them than fuck off and dont bother clicking...

[999storm999]

WE ARE WINNING

[Xxsgtnutty231xX]

1:39 sad

[joseph605]

yes end the war =(

[RaTeDSKiLLzz]

If u all like music like this or simply the lyrics and further meanings of the song listen to a comedian caleed Bill Hicks

R.I.P Bill

[RaTeDSKiLLzz]

Youtube wouldnt let me post a comment on the media and government controlling you. Im suprised they let upload this fuckin media scum

[Liveoncefool09]

The singer is a REPUBLICAN

[PaperFanblade]

Of course there's a war going on.

It's whether or not that America is going to become communist because of democrats.

[GaurdianOfAriolus]

what the hell do you mean? This has nothing to do with those parties. This has to do with the media. Its people like you that post random political shit on a video that has nothing to do with the actual video that seriously bug me.

[PaperFanblade]

It was a joke guardian.

And yes it is a frekin battle for your mind, I could have told people this.

[SheolX777]

Wow, it won't even let me post what I want to say...kinda fishy.

[SheolX777]

Both sides of every war in history have been funded by the same banking cartel. Ask yourself why?

Search Alex Jones and you may find more than you are ready for...

[dancingINnavarre]

to do some good.

School IS an important thing and besides, the best way to beat the system, is to learn it.

[Nite1995]

thats fuck up at 1:16

[sniperbait04]

it was part of a protest. dude laid down on his own accord.

hes resting not hurting

[sk8trboisgruppie1]

fight the system...finish school...expand your mind from other than what the goverment is telling you..

[dancingINnavarre]

THANK YOU!

god no one seems to understand how SERIOUSLY important it is to finish school! Finally someone gets it!

[sniperbait04]

school isnt that important to a learned mind. travel, learn your stories from all points of view.

you say that as a marine, i am programed,

but the most programmed are the college youth

instilled with misplaced ideals you know nothing about.

[dancingINnavarre]

look, i'm a military brat, i've grown up around all branches of military, you guys are far from brainwashed. i have the highest respect for our military memebers, it's not easy what you do.

but school IS important, and you can learn a lot if you know what you're doing. Any schooling can help you, most people just get "brainwashed' because they dont question authority or even wonder what they are being told, most will go through life like that. But the few that actually CARE, can learn enough,

[Malecaust666]

Unless you take some sort of political science or debate class, school is the best place to learn astronomy, math, science, ect. Opinions of teachers and students can't change that

[05311990frog]

u mean finish being home schooled b/c public school is just an indoctrination center

[boombox695]

HA! with thought was true. Public school is full fo rejects and people who understand what is going on, but are to scared to say it.

[seifer93]

You are nothing but an ignorant schmuck, and if you aren't than get up from your computer, march over to your governor's office and make a difference. If not than keep your mouth shut because you are just like the rest of us, "rejects," and those who are, "to scared to say it." BTW when you said, "to scared to say it," you actually meant, "too scared to say it," at least those in public school know how to spell.

[boombox695]

Ususally I would take offence to this, but in the state I am, I think I have to just laugh. that spelling error was my bad, I dint notice I had one o. and i never said i wasen't a reject. infact I accept it, becauause instead of that making me a singled out individual, I become part of the masses. Which is needed to survive in this world. This time anyspelling errors are due to my current state of mind, no offence to any trolls whon think they get high.(hint hint the no offence part, trolls)

[seifer93]

Its pretty funny how you are calling me a troll, yet you are the one going on a website and calling everyone who attends a public school a reject, and everyone a coward.

[boombox695]

I don't remember saying you were a troll, but I'm refering to trolls who look for this kind of "argument," if you wish to put it that way. Anyhow... i general people in public schools, in my area and, by my best guess, other areas, are often trying not to be what their parents, and other adults, want them to be. Also, in most cases, the reason someone doesn't speak up is because they don't want to or don't have the ability to. I am in truth, one of those who can't. In Summary: I was generalizing

[seifer93]

You don't seem to have a problem speaking your mind on youtube, why not in person? Also, how does not turning out to be what your parent's expected make you a reject? Just because your parents wanted you to be a lawyer and instead joined the military doesn't mean that you are a reject. That is a perfectly acceptable profession (that's just an example.)

[lonnie727]

@seifer93 lol

[BlueLionist]

hay UP YOURS RICH BITCH you want to say something well I do FUCK YOU

[kalashnikovkid154]

support our warfighters not our warlords!!

[FightWithT0ols]

why don't we support neither, because all war is some messed up way of settling a dispute between 2 people who don't even fight in the war they start.

[kalashnikovkid154]

a soldier dosen't pick the fight. he signs up to fight for something he believes in let it be the defense of his family or his country. its not his fault if someone signs up to defend his family and is commanded to attack an enemy he dosent understand he has to follow orders and i understand your point of view and dont think that its wrong but i try to think of why the soldiers signed up

[Liveoncefool09]

They signed up so they could risk there lifes for your freedom =] there you go fuck anyone who talks shit

[TheGenesisTheExodus]

I should correct myself. I don't think that America is the lesser of two evils, but rather, the American government is.

[TheGenesisTheExodus]

You're statement was a bit ambiguous. You might want to work on that. Back on topic, I said that we are the lesser of two evils. That doesn't make it true, but it seems obvious to me.

[TheGenesisTheExodus]

Are you trying to suggest that because God didn't say it, it's not true? Or are you saying that just because I said it, it's not neccesarily true?

[AnGeLOfHaViK]

Agree'd, we should be taking a completely defensive stance, there is a fine line between defending your self, and launching an offensive on the enemy. If you destroy a ship off your shores that is assaulting your people, you should stop afterwards and give the enemy a chance to leave. That is defensive military power. Something our country has never understood.

In the anime gundam seed and gundam seed destiny there is a country like that called Orb. Look it up, there ideas are amazing.

[s33w3y3sclos3d]

without war? war is an internal part of humanity, we cannot disassociate ourselves with it, any less than we could with the air we breathe. no governments are perfect, but without some sort of civil order, our desire for freedom would be overcome by our desire to survive. ...and part of my freedom, is that i can voice my opinion without bieng openly knocked off, which is far more than what can be said for the nations we (US) are currently occupying.

[TheGenesisTheExodus]

The military is not the problem. In fact, they are some of the most valuable, not to mention brave, people in the United States Of America. The real problem is the government. It is the government that is using the military incorrectly. That's not to say that we should have an anarchistic government. While the government is not the optimal solution, it is the lesser of two evils.

[theclockrunsout]

im lyke crying rite now.

[sp1tfire4194]

yeh makes me cry to

[05311990frog]

911 was an inside job to get the funds needed to invade Iraq. But there's something else behind it but I'm not sure what. Osama was dead two years before 911, the u.s created and funded the taliban and al queda. Think ppl could this be NWO. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!

[SnapeHalfbloodPrince]

I support troops, only when they defend their country, not when they are aggressive.

Troops must keep order, or else You would live in total anarchy.

[almulla]

noo maan soldiers exist to protect thier nation and that is good, but not to serve a global elite or an imperial power's personal interst

[Shebasha1]

I wish that I would have the honor of meeting you in person. Only then could I be capable of properly setting you straight. You obviously have little respect for freedom. Soldiers die every day defending the freedom of every citizen on this planet. You may not know what they are doing but they are out there doing it and doing it for you. These men and women wake up and risk their lives daily so you can sit at home want watch these videos. How could you be so naive.

[archstanton]

soldiers are warriors, not politicians

government ain't got shit to do with it

[dragonman2421]

your an amazing american!!!!!!!!!

[keetonbob]

Weapons of Mass DistrAction. That's all I'm saying.

[vennieman1989]

and please enough with this "corporate America and the government out to get us bullshit" Sheep to the slaughter? Are you daft? We have it good. You must not have been to South America and seen what life is like down there. Spend 1 month in Venezuela and i promise you you will be a patriot reborn. God Bless America and don't let any fuckn body say otherwise. I love my country and my troops cuz they truly protect liberty and the freedoms leftists love to abuse.

[TheRonin5]

First off this song is not about Iraq, Afghanistan or 9/11. This song is about the media, corporate America, and the federal government pushing conformism in the most extreme form. Making sheep for the pasture, or slaughter if you may.

[TheRonin5]

Second, this war began to mean nothing when we decided to invade the sovereign nation of Iraq. Iraq had not a thing to do with 9/11. The US and UN failed to provide a shred of evidence of weapons of mas destruction in any form. Saddam Husein had no desire to invade America or disrupt its freedoms. He was sitting comfortably on his throne. Iraq was a vendetta years old. We as a nation put him there, in power. This war became a vendetta of times past, backed by oil money and special interests.

[vennieman1989]

Hmmmm that's funny. Because the truth is we haven't recieved a drop of oil from Iraq. So you can take that argument and shove it. See, we don't own any of the iraqi oil fields. So we can't get oil from them because they are owned by the sovereign nation of Iraq. That would be robbery and U.N wouldn't allow. However, Aramco, is owned by US and Saudi Arabia thus allowing us to get oil from Saudi lands. Ronin, i suggest you do not make bland leftist assumptions without gathering proper intel.Served

[TheRonin5]

That is why I said "a vendetta of times past and special interests." Where did you read we haven't received a drop of oil. Invasion safe gaurded oil for future consumption by the US. I find it funny you mention Saudi oil when the terrorists that attacked the US on 9/11 were Saudi. The administration made more money off of side corporations supporting the war than oil ever will. As for the UN, it is a joke. Stop being sheeple. "Served" as you say. Seriously you sound retarded.

[vennieman1989]

I sound retarded? You can't even back your shit up with proof. Try using some scholarly sources before you make these wild accusations cuntboy. I am finished talking to little liberal whiners like you whose minds are so narrow. God bless America and all the assholes in it.

[Miguel29891]

You obviously have holes in your arguement and have been backed into a corner and are now resorting to insults, please as this world collapses in violence and fiscal disaster dont remain a reactionary liberality and change is what this world needs before full collapse.

[vennieman1989]

you can't even spell argument, wy are you here? fiscal disaster? are you daft? we have it good. the great depression is a fiscal disaster learn your history. i'm not a reactionary i am someone who doesn't hop on a bandwagon such as Obama or Flobots cuz i think they are "cool" and i "think" they really mean "change"

[Sycosquirl18]

I think we should all be friends. I love all of you. Please, be kind to others, and do not eat animals! I am a vegan, and you can be too! Just realize the truth about who we are! Please, stop fighting!

[iguy232]

so every one saying anti war are u against our troops that what u saying my dad is fighting now and u say that what he is doing is nothing he is giving u the right to be a dum ass if u want he is giving you the freedom of speech he is giving you your rights do not say that is nothing

Support YOUR TROOPS

[TheRonin5]

iguy232, I admire your fathers contribution to freedom. I abhor the orders he follows. It is unfortunate that this war took such a turn. I do however agree with those that say what he is doing is means nothing. He is a soldier and soldiers follow orders. Orders can be dishonorable.

[Notperfect143]

Everyone is aloud to have their opinions, but I ask you, think about what you believe before you declare you believe it. If you disaprove of war, or Bush, or anything else, look at it from all sides. If you are thinking, you are winning.

Quick choices is what has put our world in trouble, we need to think before we speak, and more importantly, speak before we act.

Nonetheless, we, as a people, need to act. And act united. Divided we stand, divided we fall. We can't change the world alone.

[irocksaidme]

bush is a shit head

[iguy232]

u want osama obama

[codywright99]

@irocksaidme so is barrrrrack man there all the same the time is now, dude were all corprate slaves fuck mmcccain fuck qb@m@ im so fucking sick of this shit man i just am.

[Br0k3nS41nt]

They are right
