All of this hatred on a song that is speaking out against hatred....human nature certainly is a fucked up animal....and all of you should be ashamed....just enjoy the music...take in the message....and try to have some common sense
"Today, you don't have to be an asshole. Don't have to be an asshole. Stand down".... Just listen to the most inspirational music there is and stop doing the complete opposite of what F.L.O.B.O.T.S. want for us.
@Bloodtoxx Do you know the meaning of naive???????? I guess not but that is irrelevant. If you don't like the music there is a simple solution... DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK. So shut your ignorant mouth and listen to the most inspirational music there is ;).
@FL35H1NT0G34R Nice assumptions. I didn't mention my opinion on the music, did I? But others have ther own opinions, and for you to blatantly insult them for having a different one than you makes you the ignorant one. Like I said, get your head out of your ass.
@Extra0Salty who said that anyone was trying to use soldiers for personal profit? If anything its the government that does that not musicians.. I think you should take note that this song isn't against being a soldier, its against the damage on human life that the military can cause and how severely it can effect someone...
I want to be a soldier and i proud to be a soldier so as you were and sierra,tango,oscar,papa. tango,romeo,yankee,indiana,november,golf. tango,oscar. uniform,sierra,ecko. uniform, siearr. alpha,sierra. tango,oscar,oscar,lima,sierra. foxtrot,oscar,romeo. yankee,oscar,uniform,romeo. papa,ecko,romeo,sierra,oscar,november,alpha,lima. papa,romeo,oscar,foxtrot,indiana,tango.
@PyroSpartanM98 you must be retarded.theyre against war asswipe.if you cant get the message of this song you shouldnt listen to them.alot of their songs are against war,white flag warrior,combat,I.R.A.Q. quit being uneducated and get a life.
While that is true, that distance implies a large length of time, and in of itself needs time for the definition. So in effect, a light-year can metaphorically be taken as a measure of time, unless we have FTL travel when listening to this, then you have a point.
@yopend Many of their songs have that effect on the populace. It's a good sign, and means that their deep and meaningful words are slowly seeping into your soul.
I like how they "as you were" because in the military when an officer enters the room or area you're supposed to stand at attention and they'll tell you "as you were" or to take back another command. I hope they did that knowingly
@HiyuuSpiegel Since you're still learning, you should look up the correct meaning of "Irony". It wasn't a coincidence for them too use two military phrases, they did it intentionally. And it certainly wasn't ironic either.
This is YOUTUBE! Lets fight! Hell yeah I don't watch videos, FUCK THAT! Hey I wanna hear a song, Not on youtube. We don't listen to music here hell no! No youtube is a place to fight mutha fucker! It's simple logic that youtube is only meant to be a battle ground.
I saw them at redrocks and when i was picking up some merch i actually got to talk with Johnny 5. When I told him this was one of my favorite songs and that it really hit me on a personal level he said "Ya that's always been more of a personal song to me, and alot of people think that songs about soldiers." One of the coolest moments of my life
@itsakadoozy95 Don't be mad 'cause your illiterate don't waste your time trying to make me look bad get back to your life before you miss something important man..
5k Views? Should be 5 Million, This is by far the most meaningful song going at the minute. Least it's about the war, not about pre-pubescent teens getting laid.
There is no day that we do not have to be soldiers. In Baghdad, in Falujah, in Cairo on the corner, in the library, at open mic night, at your church, your synagogue, your mosque, we are forever on the front line in the fight for change and our beliefs. The load as heavy and you may long for a caressing touch, someone to say it's okay, but never stand down, stand up. Make our world a better place with the things you were given.
I wish i could join them. I'm tired of doing the same thing over again. Maybe i should make my own group =p
