Iraq Tribute ("Two Lights" Five for Fighting)

[Ayaalnajjar]

This is the best video ever!

[broadcast000100]

very nicely done

[fortymeg]

My nephew is 23 and joining the army...This song really hits me. I tracked it down hoping to understand it better. But this kind of pain I'll never know. Or at least i pray i'll never understand! God Bless our fighting men!!!!

[sarahnevon17]

If you don't want to stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.

You don't have to support the war, but at least support the ones who are fighting it for you. God bless our troops.

[carpetfarmer]

more pics of soldiers/marines less pics of singer.

[hottyboy315]

rembinds ne of ,y daddy served 3 times 3rd time he got sho and died i cry every night and never been the same

[aqwillis]

I think both sides need to acknowledge that

A) soldiers are often brave and noble

B) soldiers are often asked to do things that are immoral and politically driven

I think that this is where most disagreement comes from. We can respect the men on the ground and get mad at the men in charge.

[yewwtooob]

@aqwillis well said!!!

[ThenYouStand]

If this is an Iraq tribute then why is the guy from FFF in the video? You should have just left him out.

[qri525600]

this is a great song!!

but im not a native English speaker so i dont know what "two lights" means.

does it just mean 2 lights or does it have special meaning??

[chavseatmydust]

@qri525600 it is just two lights in the house, if their son is OK he want's two lights to be left on in the house so that he knows.

[Dashrendar2507]

Jessebrown: you're right bro, but there's nothing we can do, mankind is a mix of creative genius and complete idiot... I know it's revolting but, I don't think that war is expendable, even tough it's completely ridiculous...

Hope that someday we'll get smarter and stop wasting lives for nothing at all...

Amen

[jessebrown1996]

one day the worlds gona have to open their eyes and see what their doing they need to smell the deaths their creating and we all need to get it through are thick skulls that their is no real reason to fight.

[Zilogrok]

Country my ass and american soldiers my ass too

[UberBruno1]

This is a wonderfully talented artist. He truly amazes me, one song after another. I love his music, his lyrics are so touching. I've been listening to him for the past 3 or 4 years and all I can say is, " I missed out." I'm making up for it now, but honestly, All of his songs are Fantastic!

[lasinlo]

1) A tribute to our troops should include those fighting in Afghanistan.

2) A tribute to our troops should not include so many pics of the singer; totally unecessary.

[AaronfromWM]

Oorah.

[sunfire85]

I'm in the military and just wanted to say thank you for this video. Your support is appreciated.

[wutevr63]

"Loyal Dissent is the greatest patriotism"? Give me a break. I want all sides of an argument to be heard, but once the decision is made to take military action the time for dissent is over. All that "loyal dissent" does from that point on is hamper the efforts of our soldiers and hamstring the decisions of the commander-in-chief and his advisors in prosecuting the hostilities. Why not stifle the dissent for now and help our soldiers come home successfully?

[mastermizery]

this song is about a father who learns that a member of his son's unit has been killed, he tells his wife that he is going for a drive, and if she finds out if thier son is still alive to leave him two lights when he comes home.

[Ihaveonly1jack]

I love this song, it's really inspirational, but if you listen to the live version, you learn the meaning behind the song. it's so beautiful

[jpedro54]

it makes u wonder if this war will ever end...i mean even if we kill or capture all the terrorist over their, people will want revenge, then they will attack us, and we them...back and forth until revenge is satisfied with blood....its pretty damn depressing...crap 2=(

[zachy959]

The guy that attacked Oklahoma wan't muslim. There are innocent muslims and arabs here i America, trying to get away from al te sht that is happeningto their country. They come here for a fresh start. but people still give them shit. What if that was you?

[citygal1824]

there giving there life for there countryy and our freedom jackass....back off all u do is insult US soldiers like no one else is offended by it

[kumaninakuma]

how about attcking that county of the guy that blew up the federal building in oklahoma . blew up innocet pre school kids. .He was a muslim extremist wasnt' he. OR WAS HE ???MMMMMM. seems to me that is a bit unfair on the iraqi people. I mean the terrorists came from saudi arabia and america and iraq pays. Suppose they have the oil . HMMMM what are the brave soilders really giving and taking life for over there in iraq.

[citygal1824]

Are Soldiers are very brave and have a hell of a lot of courage to defend their country and to risk there lives for us.

[sazzyfrasst]

As a USMC wife......I'm touched by this

[kumaninakuma]

what is courage. In the american dictionary it is finging and killing innocents from miles away with missiles and bombs and then saying sorry and paying the family 1000.00 dollars. Even dumb americans know this is wrong. Courage should be admiting your mistakes. not repeating them , vietnam ring a bell. . And now the cowards are withdrawing after destroying a country and stealing as much weatth as they could during the illegal invasion.

[JOShea1213]

spare everyone the guilt trip, just cause you and your little pussy country are afraid of fighting doesnt mean that it isnt courageous what these soldiers are doing. Oh, and that little definition of courage you have is very cute. I bet you sleep very well at night in your little communist cave faggot

[kumaninakuma]

what . courage is being able to stand up for what is right despite the odds aganist you . NOT bullying your opponent into submission like the americans tried in vietnam where the ran away with tails between their legs like the yellow dogs they are. IF you are able to put aside all the crap and put yourself in the iraqui position , the innocent civillian and then tell me how would you react. But only post if you are being honest . I dare you to do it

[JOShea1213]

Just put myself in the position, and yeah it does suck to be an Iraqi and have to cover my face, l'm not gonna go fly a plane into the most powerful country in the worlds building. Now put yourself in the position of a father from long Island new york who lost his innocent civilian son in a terrorist attack by a bunch of turban wearing modernnazis. All these America hatersnever actually thought about what the US went through on the attack. Its much easier to sit on your couch and point fingers

[kumaninakuma]

sorry i missed your point . 'are you talking about timothy mcviegh . last i looked he was not a turban wearer but he blew up innocent kids. Why dont we go blow up his country to stop more of them doing it again. lllllOH sorry his country in the great old us of a where thier own citizens do no wrong. . Tell me what the hell saddam and iraq had to do with 911

[Deed1992]

Driving out insurgents, rebuilding their country and retraining their army and police force, hardly destroying a country

[citygal1824]

Its so easy for you to sit there and point fingers while our soldiers are defending our country. What there doing IS courageous. and um that name that you called the American soldiers in Vietnam; I believe it was yellow dogs?? Well you can got to hell because my father was in Vietnam. Our soldiers were brave then just as they are now. It takes a lot to go and risk your life for your country.

[kate54ish]

@citygal1824 I got cha...right behind you.My brother was over there in vietnam and I wrote Nixon when I was 10. I know guys over there..watched them grow up and go...so I am crying, and I want this war to end...SEND THEM BACK SAFE! Kate

[justrix29]

thanks to soldiers for keeping us safe,God bless them and take care of them,long live..!

[hihiyoyo7]

the soldiers are not fighting for oil, they're fight for us, for safety, so we can remain a free country and have less of a chance for us to be blown off the map

[sergejhh]

Fighting for freedom. They wasting precious lives of young innocent people for a poor profit of blood and oil. I spit on you. Just listen to Dylan's 'Masters Of War'

[IlovekellyRBanks]

dont hate the players hate the game, as true about war as it is for anything. hate war its self, not the warriors fighting it

[kamakazi65]

for all of you who don't support the war, just remember this: when you put on your "don't support the troops" shirt and wear it throughout the day, our brave soldiers in iraq STILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO WEAR THAT SHIRT!!!

[medicvet]

for all the bros who never made it home..and for those who made it home but left a piece of them behind...

[PFCMarine13]

This song is the best...

[hyperblastrocks]

Thanks all of you for viewing and posting what you think

[kerrybell14]

If you don't support the war, whatever, but support your troops. They're over their whether you like it or not and they don't need to hear you whining about things you aren't even trying to change. They need to hear your support. If you don't support it either do something to change it or shut the hell up.

[RHEXECUTIVO]

This unbelieveble, you guys are hilarius..

No one here has been on war. As some of you said, i soldier fight for his brother in arm. Not for country or freedom. And i support every man down the battle field, but not those who put them overthere. And for the those guys that really believe in this war, i suggest u take plane and go visit that country, and i'm sure you'll change your mind.

[pyroclown]

this is great, i love seeing ppl support our troops and a sidenote for anyone who wont support the ppl fighting for our freedom, go fuck yourself u ignorant pricks

[MaxMixMac]

nice video

[BWPproductions]

Right now, Iraq needs our help to restore peace, and if the means of restoration is war, its what the terrorists are up against. Freedom is not free.

[GreyWingedSoldier]

I gotta say ur heads in the right place, using war to gain freedom is possible in fact that is what the American Revolution was about. However using war to "restore" peace in a country that has never had and doesn't even know what it is, is nearly impossible i would say. Then again we are America, We can do the impossible.

[yewwtooob]

@BWPproductions Right on. man. We are fighting the filth(terrorists) that come from other hateful countries and want to dominate local people by force. The majority of Iraqis want us there to help them "take the trash out" so to speak, and help do their dirty work. However, we all benefit from the result of killing filthy sacks of shit like al-shita hahaha. terrorists are like gang members: they are "real tough" until you fight them one on one. scum of the earth removed by force (SERF).

[transdcr]

Great video, I am so glad to see others supporing our troops!

I've talked to some soldiers that have been called terrible things by AMERICANS!

5/5

[usuallguy]

[hyperblastrocks]

I was wrong. Share this video with everyone and if you like this see my others and join my channel. Lets see if we can get to 50,000. This will make me happy and proud. WE CAN DO IT

[USHomeboy]

when you to iraq,you don't go there because u want to go...But you go for your brothers in arm,and all together, we made,and still making,the best we can for our country,and for security of the world.

RIP brothers in arm!

[mccainmymainman]

you dont fight for freedom, or for your country. in combat, none of that trite is in your mind.

you fight for the man next to you.

[starwarsrules900]

[heggemichael04]

[AtoZcomedy]

[SirShartalot]

this guy needs a nobel peace prize

[H20revolution]

Men have fall, and what do we do? Oh well, singing helps you through the times of death and poverty. He speaks the truth. (Not the best video. :P)

[burduex]

SNAFU

[Littleteddy12]

he sings from the heart...and that is truely one thing to love..*cry*

[Rhi63]

My favourite song from this album, hands down.

[dannoe]

Man, I had tears forming in my eyes, great video.

[alfa147a]

Been a fan of this man for some years now. At last UK radio stations are starting to play this one. So good to hear John getting the air play in the UK he surely deserves.

[poshporsche123]

Some things are necessary

and unfortunately war is one of them

instead of wasting energy fighting the fact we have one, cheer on the guys that are out their risking their lives. how discouraging is it to know that their own country, the one they're fighting for, is against them?

come on. cheer 'em on

[nintendocoke]

good job, this song always reminds me of my dad....

vote for obama!!!!

[hyperblastrocks]
