Not sure what nationality has to do with tribute. As with the US, there have been thousands of Canadians who have fallen "fighting for our freedom." It works the same way in both countries. It's a great tribute with a great song.
What is wrong with you people that you have so much hate? These men and women have families and these soldiers died for us and our freedom its to bad that there is ignorant asses that have no respect but enjoy the freedom the soldiers gave you!!
"To watch the courageous Afghan freedom fighters battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to those who love freedom. Their courage teaches us a great lesson — that there are things in this world worth defending.” – Ronald Reagan, 21 March 1983
@jemmytaveras Somewhere in that text is some truth. The majority of it is just hate. Sorry to disappoint you but I've never hunted beaver, and lumber chopping is an American occupation as well. For me personally. Who is mother england? I just can't get passed the fact that no matter what these soldiers were human beings with family. You are so sadly full of hate that you can't even respect that. Thanks for expressing yourself here. Just wish your post were not so full of hate. Take care.
what u gonna do there HOSER!??? YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A FUCKING ARMY YOUR PART OF THE FUCKING ROYAL ARMY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND!.
YOUR COUNTRY IS A FUCKING JOKE!, NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS!!
NOW, QUEBEC (THE PEOPLE YOU AND THE BRITS OPPRESSED AND ALWAYS SEEM TO FORGET) IS A REAL COUNTRY, WITH ITS OWN IDENTITY AND NOT MAPLE SYRUP DRINKING BEAVER HUNTING IDIOT LIKE U!
It's sad when you don't realize that many men and women died for the freedom of you not only being able to comment and vent your frustrations here but the freedom of being able to build a life.Countless of CANADIANS including myself lost family members for our freedom.Also you better check your history good Canadians played a major roll in defending the UK.
@jemmytaveras hahaha buddy your a idiot we dont have a real army your from domican republic your army is a fucking joke we would fuck your little peice of shit country up and Britain cant tell us nothing not a real country i dont know what they teach u in your little fucked up island you peice of shit go watch some more cartoons and talk shit on youtube prolly not much else to do in your shithole you call a country
Beavers and Lumberjacks aren't an army, and we do have an army! and guess what? we can beat a Lumberjack and beaver army but if we were to face the British (Who are the real rulers of Canada) wel, that would be another story 'cause we would be facing a real army not a joke army like yours.
By the way the Mounties also don't count as an army.
So go back to eat Canadian Bacon with Canadian Maple Syrup! :)
@jemmytaveras Hope you feel better now that you let out all that anger you have. I feel sorry for you that you don't feel any peace. I will pray for you.
@jemmytaveras viva la Quebec im down with them there Canadian but ya british is not real not are rulers your countrys a joke and our army would destroy you its not even a question you have no history and i will go enjoy some bacon u taco eating fuck
@jemmytaveras BTW, that army of lumberjacks and beavers you say is beating the shit out of the americans every time we are challenging each other in competition. Winston Churchill said "Give me american equipment, british officers and canadian soldiers, and I shall rule the world."
@jemmytaveras The canadian army is what makes peace exist in the world. Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, diplomat at that time, created the UN Peacekeepers, and sice that time, every peacekeeping mission Canada participated in was successfully completed. Canada is a proud country. If you hit canadian pride, you will se how angry a canadian can be. Watch your hatefull words, son.
Undoubtedly these were brave warriors in the service of the the Wall street/Military industrial/Far Right clique,and their families surely and rightly mourn their loss,however to use mothers of the disappeared,a song written in opposition to the far right forces these soldiers died in the service of ,is akin to playing sieg heil viktoria at a bar mitzvah,it is wholly inappropriate.Remember also the countless victims of imperialist misadventure in Afghanistan and Latin America.
God bless you canada, and all other Nations for taking part in trying to keep the folks and borders safe, from the people, that would do, the free folks of this world harm. Just take a look at how much unrest there is at this moment time. Why, because they want a taste of freedom. and who can blame them, fight on u rebs. to all the soldiers around the world, still serving ,and to those that have paid the ultimate price, i thank you and your families. God bless you ALLL. x Squaddie my self, dukes
Regardless of what the song's original meaning, great job putting together this memorial video. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't when it comes to the politics of war. In defence of these special people, "Invaders and occupiers don't build schools, hospitals and give women the freedom to pursue a meaningful existence and put their lives on the line to that end. We will never be able to repay them.......or their families.
Robert Fowler Canada’s longest serving ambassador to the UN, who was kidnapped by Al Qaeda for 5 mths. Said it is wrong "to effectively colonise Afghanistan and replace their culture with ours, for that is what we seek. It is time to leave."
3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:
Since the govt. committed 9/11, why arent truthers demanding the release of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who is on trial for his life for a crime truthers claim he did not commit?
If there was no flight 93, please explain how 95% of the plane debris was recovered?
If there was no flight 77, please explain the over 130 witnesses who saw a plane?
well i had never heard this song before, I looked up the words and though it fit perfectly with this video. Never crossed my mind it abt children kidnapped. To me, if my child died, and i dont care how old they are, I know, I would be seeing my son/daur everywhere, walking down the street, hearing their voices in the night,. feel them with me when no one in room. This song is good for this video and is a good tribute to our brave Cdn. soldiers, who are "NOT" invaders and occupiers!
I am a British subject who lives in Italy since 1984. I have served Italy for a year in 1988/89. I don't look at the colour of the uniform but the flag layed on the coffin. One flag means one brother less. I honour all those who have given their lives to protect the weak. May they all R.I.P and GOD BLESS all those who attend to return home to their families.
Yes you can hear the heart beat of these soldiers but no one will ever hear the heart beats of innocent children and women who suffered from all this. No onecan ever imagine or capture a helpless mother who's children are sufferng in front of her. For God's sake stop all this. This filthy war of freedom I don't who's it is.
To those missing the point, and as a 30 yr fan of U2 and active politique,..I can tell all you are missing the point of the song, and of U2 in general. Their music should not be quantified into "invaders vs occupiers" but rather the individuals on either side, effected by the actions of government, which on either side of the issue, can render the same damage. I suggest to appreciate the brilliance of the lyrics in that light..and focus less on the political meaning.
i THINK THE POINT OF EMOTION IS THAT WE ARE FREE TO FEEL IT IN WHATEVER WAY WE WANT. IF THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS VIDEO WAS SUFFICIENTLY TOUCHED TO DO SO, AND PERHAPS WAS INSPIRED TO DO SO BY THIS EXCELLENT SONG, THEN I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. I SEE YOUR POINT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE, JUDGING BY YOUR COMMENTS, YOU HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME EXAMINING YOURSELF
Vrlbank- did you miss my point-Im not replying to the video, but replying to the comments on it saying "there is no honour dying for a false cause". If you regard that as a proper response to a video posted in rememberance of a son/daughter dying in this war, then please do me a favor and we'll leave it at that. Just a completely cold and ignorant response to a great vid and beautiful song.
There is no honour in dying for a false cause. True courage is in men and women who stand up and say "no more". Nations exist only in the minds of the deluded. This video perpetuates and serves this delusion. May God rest each of their souls.
Your monicker reveals you- Im a US liberal, but-I pray you're young/naive, but I fear you reached a ripe older age devoid of character and integrity as can be readily discerned by your ignorant comments showing a blatant disregard for the value of human life, which in these cases was likely given for a cause, that even if you disagree with it, ultimately was from those who would lay down their life thinking they were saving a sorry, pathetic and cowardly SOB such as yourself. U disgust me
I must know do you know anyone who has fallen in this war? Do you even understand it? from what i can understand from you post is no to both questions. So be silent and injoy the freedom you will never have the guts to defend.
This is no False Cause, Our soilders are fighting for the freedom of people over there. The same freedom that alot of people here take for granted(Sorry if i mispelled this). All those men and women that are over there or were over there are heros.
The song is actually about the children kidnapped by Argentina's government in the 1970s and 1980s and never seen again. It has nothing to do with "invaders and occupiers."
Thanks. Regardless of the song used, the point isn't really the music anyhow. I may have picked the wrong background song, that I admit. I had no idea what the song's meaning was, just that I loved the sound of it. Thanks for the feedback people.
