Everyone who is anti war or who supports themselves should feel extremely sorry about themselves. Very few have any idea on what these men and women give to our country. Maybe you're not for the war, but you should always support our troops.
"WOULD GOD BLESS A MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS? WOULD GOD BLESS A WAR BASED ON PRIDE? WOULD GOD BLESS A MONEY-HUNGRY GOVERNMENT? NO. WOULD GOD BLESS OUR INEFFECTIVE COURT SYSTEM? [WOULD] GOD BLESS THE SWEATSHOPS WE RUN? [WOULD] GOD BLESS AMERICA? NO!"- RISE AGAINST
READ the lyrics to a PUNK band before you think they're for the military
I saw that and said to myself, does this man feel grateful for what he has, if you saw a soldier would you thank him for going through hell and coming back, or would you spit in his eyes before you take their service as is it is nothing think what do you have that you enjoy well your gd freedom of speech for one if we didn't have those brave men and women you couldn't have posted that next time you feel like posting something so evil think about all the mothers and wives who will never see them
Wow. I didn't think people could misunderstand this song. Music doesn't have a message set in stone, its what it means to the person listening. But the bsic message behind this is pretty simple, its the smaller parts that vary. But like I said its what it means to the listener.
i am against antiwar stuff but this song is good. but me no matter what you tell me i wil enlist to the us military forces i love my country and i love my flag. i will enlist to protect and to serve
i think this hole song is about how naive americans are in thinking every soldier thaat goes to war is a hero when thats not the case at all sure be proud your soldiers but they are all certainly not heros but on the other hand some are deffinately heros
yes...what this song is trying to ay is its about a man who thought hes doing good for his family and country making them proud by going to war to fite for what he love but soon relizes what war is really about...personnely being republican the soldiers are true heros but what they have to do mite not be the rite thing to do
The thing is, you can hate war, but you can't hate the people who serve. They arent fucking up the country thats the goverment. The soliders go through alot of desicions that they dont want to make, but they do to protect peThey are just following orders, to make sure people here are safe,.ople.
The song shows the side of soldiers no one notices. soldiers make choices they don't want to but they have to. soldiers feel the pain in the wrong they've done. its the pain behind the eyes of the young men and women of our armed forces. i'll be joining them soon.
the message to me being in h US Army...is that the person is proud to serve their country and be in th military but is not proud of their actions in war...something like that
Everybody here is telling he would be proud to be a soldier!
If its right or wrong?Are you kidding? How can you say you would be proud to do something wrong?War IS wrong and if everybody would understand the meaning of war,nobody would tell such a bullshit like you! If everybody would really think,nobody would get a soldier! And if there were no soldiers, there would be no more war!
To save your country? How can you say this country is the best?
First of all, i would like to know who you are talking to so i could reply better.
As the person said before me, being a soldier is an honorable career choice. I agree with you though, war is wrong, but war is needed. I would be proud to be a soldier because i'd be risking my life to serve, protect, and help save our country. And just because one wants to save his country, doesn't mean he thinks his country is best.
If there was a country that would like to invide my country I wouldnt kill anybody of them an wouldnt fight. The only thing, that could make me kill other people is the protecting of my family, my friends and myself of course. But in war, there wouldn`t be any danger for them if there was noone who would kill other people for his country!
omg fine fine you are obviously right and the hundreds of thousands of people who agree with me about it being an anti war song including rise against are all wrong... go check out out the full version of this song on youtube and read the comments and you'll feel dumb realizing i was right all along
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no! It's NOT an ANTI army song! first off your a Bakka( in both spanish & japenese terms) & YOU DONT GET THE MEANING! it's what the solider SEES when he's overseas, It's what he sees, your totally ruining my good mood now( & thts nt a good thing when i just woke up)
no i can say i am proud to be an american because of this song because we do what we do to protect our country may it be wrong or or right i no i will live for this country and i WILL die for this country and do it proudly
You can't be proud to be an American because of this song. I am proud to be an American, but this song actually makes me question ourselves, it doesn't make me more proud. That is awesome that youw ill die for our country, and it's awesome that you'll do it proudly. But thats not what the song is about. Listen to the words, erm... listen to the verses and the last chorus. Don't even listen to the other choruses.
my rebuttal would be, you serious, i'm not talking about the war over seas, i deeply respect all our soldiers over there and i support them and the war, i simply am talking about this protest song called "hero of war".
this song paints American soldiers and the war in a bad light because it is trying to ask the questions "is the war right? is it worth it? are we doing good?" and there is nothing in this song that should make you proud to be american based solely on this song
nick21mo and johnagreen seriously people come one how can you seriously say this shit there are people fucking getting shot at or killed so you can say this shit and yes i know im repeating myself but seriously your both to ignorant to understand it and to fucking pathetically sheltered your entire life that you copy everything you were told by your fucked up parents
That is my response to your ignorance. nick21mo, nicely and kindly is trying to explain to you, that this song IS NOT A "LETS BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" song. If you're saying this song makes you proud to be an American, then you're saying you're proud of beating people up and shooting innocent girls.
my comment was soley based on people being proud to be american after hereing this song, this is not a lets be proud americans, song. but rather a protest song... duhh
i love this song and @johnagreen man fuck you ok if the Swedish are over there man dont be bagging on soldiers dying every day so you can say shit like that i hate people like you respect a soldier you have no idea what they have been through yes this song makes me DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMAERICAN
What really bothers me is that alot of people don't get the message in this great song. I personally thinks it's pretty easy. There is a certain "proudness" to be an U.S military, the only reason to that is that the goverment made it so. This song is about the truth of war. Trying to ask the question, "is it worth it?" - Well, I said no to joining the Swedish militaryforces in Afghanistan. And I'm DAMN proud of that choice. - My 50 cents.
He knows the same thing everbody knows. But there are a few americans (for example) who think war is a good way to solve things. I been in the militar, I was forced into it. They tried to brainwash me too. I guess they did a better job with you :)
A few years back the 17-year-olds couldn't deside if they wanted to do the training or not. So every 17 year old boy took a test and based on how good they performed some had to choose were they wanted to serve, some could choose if they wanted or not. And some were send home. I did they special ops unit (simular). We sweeped the US-armys butt in several things, so don't think too highly of yourselves... If your a big country, you have to learn how too play nice...
do you mean "their" countries? Im not sure if Sweden has an Army but I am sure that you never went to combat. So what the fuck would you know about war either?
Yeah, sorry my english is not that good. Well, you are like the rest of the American population. You don't have a clue of how the world outside your lite box "USA" looks like. Sweden have about the same amount of military in Iraq & Afghanistan according to the population. By that I mean divide the solidiers by the population of sweden and USA and the numbers are pretty much the same. Now please try and understand that you don't own the world, sigh.
Iraqs not bad, its alot better now than it was my first deployment. The people like us, the police like us, the iraqi army like us, and Iraqi politicians love us being there.
Keep telling yourself that. Then maybe you can sleep at night. And USARMYcolton, what the hell? Are you stupid or just pretending? How can any onw be proud to be an american after listening to THE WHOLE SONG. For god sake. I'm proud am not an american.
@razermcquade oh, but I do... Hope your proud, cause thats pretty much all you got if you think about it. Cause there isn't anyone that's happy in afghanistan right know. And thats not your fault. That's the rednecks and "patriots" of americas fault.
look for a diff link guys, ut is the best song i heard in ages... i goin 2 see them in november in cardiff.. cnt wait
and allso look up prayers of the refugee.. its bout the people who make iour shoes and thaa.. and USA get the credit for ppl in asia and places like thaa
my gf listened to this song while i was away in iraq and afghanistan and then iraq and then iraq again and oh wait afghanistan again. haha anyway, she bawled when she heard this song cause she always thought i was destroying things. i lied said no i never fought even though im infantry.
liberal song. and this song is gay..
