This is actually a really good video. Suprisingly enough not all punk rock is about tearing down the american system or blame america for this or that (there goes your vegan footwear and dreads right out the window!)
i don't why but each time i listen to this song i almost get tears in my eyes. awesome lyrics. especially because they're against war but don't hate the soldiers doing their jobs. sounds weird but its actually true isn't it?
When the war started the names of the fallen soldiers were read every day. Now hardly anyone in the U.S. even talks about the loss of life (still going on). Guess we are to busy bi+chin n moanin about politicians, hippies and no money. Thanks for the reminder of the REAL price of war. WAR SUCKS no matter who you are! If we can't stop moaning and bi+chin at each other, how can we learn, teach or create peace and bring our soldiers home? Isn't that the goal?
Thank you all for are putting their lives on the line in Iraq. You are not senseles killers and you dont like to do what you do, ill keep you guys in my prayers. Hope stupid Obama actully does something and takes you guys out. War Sucks.
Im a sgt. in the 82nd Airborne and have done 2 tours of duty in Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan and 1 tour in Camp Ramadi, Iraq to train Iraqi commandos. I have seen my men get killed and seen shit so horrible that will be burned in my eyes forever. But I must say that we are not senseless killers. I have seen first hand the destruction Saddam has done to such a beautiful country. I wish people knew what really went on. Saddam was the true weapon of mass destruction to his own.WE NEEDED TO BE THERE
Lame! You stupid hippies should have to fight for your own freedom. Then, lets see how thankful you are for the men and women who continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. You are slime. That's just how it is.
shut the fuck up dude thats not fucking terrorism thats an act of war and an attack it would be terrorism if it was made by an unsanctioned army and if they werent provoked and if we werent at war besides if hiroshima and nagasaki were acts of terrorism then by the same logic so was pearl harbor but you dont think thats an act of terrorism because it was directed towards america and ur an america hating fucktard but hiroshiam and nagasaki were provoked and necesary pearl harbor wasnt so fuck off
You're an idiot, congradu-fucking-lations. Since when has killing 200000 CIVILIANS been an acceptable act of war? Remember when Russia invaded that other country (Can't think of the name right now) and everyone was up in arms about how they killed a few hundred civilians? If America had done that, no one would have said shit.
actually they did say shit in a place called haditha iraq us marines rounded up 30 suspected terrorists for questioning one of them made a break for it and was fired on the ensuing chaos resulted in the unfortunate deaths of twenty five civilians that ordeal was an accident and was later proved as such but each marine spent years in court and those japanese werent all civilians the bombings were hard to place do to the american prison camps in japan that we didnt want to bomb
i agree with the second part, but i think that the war is the fault of everyone in the world who believes that violence is ever the answer, because it's not. there is no excuse for taking lives.
@iamchris318 you're a fucking idiot. the whole point of the song was about stopping the war in the first place. Sorry you can't hear a song that you clearly miss the meaning of anyway. dipshit
@iamchris318 are you shiting me you wanna war to go on so you can watch a damn youtube video???????? did you even see the picture of the guy without his leg and some poor girls doll in the ruble your an asshole a selfish one with no moral value for human life but value for a good youtube video and as if this one wasn't i wont wish you ill but should it come to you i want you to think about this and what you said when its you or a loved one inn a war
i dont care what anyone says about how just the war is or isnt as a marine brat im proud of my soldiers overseas and i want to be just like them wether or not you agree with the war show respect for them
Although the sound has been disabled the song is still one of the best anti-war songs I've ever heard and the video still contains very impressive picture material!
Thank you so much for posting this. I think people need to see the consequences of apathy and letting their BS government get away with starting an illegal war.
Wow, great video man, really really powerful imagery. For those who don't know; this song was actually written by an American soldier in Iraq. The whole thing is fucked. I saw W's farewell speech to the soldiers the other day, there is only one word to describe it: Tacky. He gets to go home to his fucking ranch in Texas, sit on his ass and collect millions for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, our brothers our sisters our sons our daughters our friends, are still over there. Bring them home NOW!
oh my life, you made the greatest video ever, it makes you think sooooo much, that image near the begginining where the kids legs off and the dad or adults near him, thats powerful dude...
...karveel12345..or whoeva the dudes name who made this vid, can you plz lyk disable comments, or lyk, everybody will fight lyk crazy...OH, and great vid, 5/5
What's wrong with discussion and debate? I like debating with Neo-conservatives, you get to know them more. We're not fighting, we're talking, we're learning more about each other and each others opinions. One of my best friends is a super-conservative, but I get along with him well.
yea, i dunt mind debate, buy lyk "why the hell are all of you shit holes immigrating to america" isnt exactly lyk debating, more lyk fighting, i dunt mind debate cuz debates lyk arguing without any lyk....not fighting...i just dont want people to go "shit hole" and all dat, just peaceful debating/arguing...
Are people still arguing about things which require much intellect? Then yes, it still is a debate. It is still a debate as it falls into the definition of debate: Discussion and arguments between two or more parties. While people are still showering each other with insults, it still has a debate element.
it has the debate element, yeah, but if ur definition of debate is Discussion and argument between two or more parties, what is the difference between debate and argument? the difference is that debate is a formal argument, meaning not physical or mental harm will be given to the opposite party, or parties.
Is that what you believe? Like I said, you have no given any solid evidence. Debating does not need to be formal, it can be done via flaming. Argument is actually still debate, however, debate falls into further issues, while argument can also be a row between siblings over food on a dinner table.
Ok, not formal, but not in any way harmful. In courts, everybody debates, because there is no harming in any way, but if there would be harm in way, it wouldnt be called debating and be called arguing or fighting, because it would then not be a peaceful argument
People are not harming one another, neither physically or mentally. But, you have failed to expand on the definition of "harming". Arguments harm people, but are they still debating? When you debate, you will get offended because others have different views. It's still a debate, debate does not need to be pacifistic, in fact, it cannot be pacifistic other wise the medium will lose.
I also used dictionaries and encyclopedias=.= you just havent written down the entire definition and stuff=.= ghawd,i dunt have time to argue ..(fine debate) wid ppl in dah internet..ghawd, another comment, ok...harming..omg, ok..wait...Here is the definition for harming:
- damage or injury: physical, mental, or moral impairment or deterioration
- injure somebody or something: to cause physical, mental, or moral impairment or deterioration. there...
You have not answered the question between the lines. The question is, how can harming be put into the current situation? Also, harming is a natural factor in debate, as I have stated above. Debating is still argument. Are two or more parties against each other? Yes. But, it is not a logical argument as it does not focus on the observable axiom. Therefore, you have no other way to back yourself up. I have won the debate.
omg....im just trying to stop fighting here ok????? ive tried, and yet your still so stubborn and still want to fight
woteva, u win alrght? i just wanna stop fighting cuz i got betta things to do
i dont really care what you think, just as long as you dont bugg me again and again and again, ok???
does that sound good for you?? cuz i seriously dont want to fight and just wanna make friends, watch vids, listening to music, and talking to my frieds ok?
Actually, your stubborn. I made the reply when I couldn't see your post. I must apologize, but labeling me as "stubborn" cannot fall into this category.
....to tell you the truth, if we hadnt fought here, we could have been friends....i dont know bout you, but you seem to be a nice guy, just like to argue or summin, i duno.....
Did you realize we took up more than an entire page of comments over this? People who see this video and look at the comments will just see us talking back and forth...
dude, woteva, i can still go on, just i dont have the time to continue, so for now, lets just call truce alright? u guys continue arguing if you want, ill just enjoy this song
and yea, for now, ill let you "win" this one ghawd, im off now
I'd like to add, we too are debating about the definition of debate. However, I am giving rock-solid evidence for my argument, while you have asserted and assumed arguments which have no evidence or source of any kind. Technically speaking, I have won the debate, and any further answer without unbiased "truth" will grant me victory.
how did you gain rock-solid evidence, u didnt explain your thoughts of the difference of argument and debate. I havent assumed any kind of evidence, just definitions, and yes, we are debating, cause we aren't fighting...
Actually, fighting is debating, as long as it does not only observe the consistency of the axiom. My sources? The dictionary, and several encyclopedias. You have assumed, you have only asked questions and answered in your own personal view, not the view of a 3rd party. Remember that the axiom is the margin which separates debate from a logical argument, which itself is a more specific term of argument itself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont give a fuck give me all the thumbs down you want... your all pussies who hide. we are just and fair. we dont start trouble, we end it. i love america because we stand for what is right. we arent afraid of anyone. you are all from bitch ass countries who couldnt last ten minutes on the field with us. until you have a strong enough military to talk shit about us, i think you had all better shut the fuck up and stop sucking eachothers dicks. faggots. seriously grow up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you guys are all just jealous that we have the strongest military in the entire fucking world. say what you want, we take shits bigger than your countries. we have near 10 fucking thousand nukes to shove up your third world asses. half the world relies on us for protection. now i willingly say that our president is a little bad at calling shots, but he did a better job than most ppl could. we arent the ones going around blowing shit up to start trouble, we blow shit up to defend this sacred land
because you live in North America doesn't make you an American. Illegal immigrants are what we should be focusing on instead of the stupid war. American citizens are jobless and sleeping in the streets of NYC every night while illegal aliens work illegally without paying taxes.
pourquoi les soldats, les pompiers, les policiers... ont pour image des héros? et les irakiens (puisqu'on parle de la guerre en Irak) des images d'assassins prêt à n'importe quelle chose. Je comprend pas ça.
PS: hormis la femme soldat devant des Irakiens tout nus.
C'est par ce que le "bien" dépend du camp dans lequel tu te trouve. Et bien sur, les médias d'un pays vont tout faire pour faire croire que le gouvernement ne fait que des choses bien. D'ou l'image de l'iraquien mauvais. C'est cruel mais c'est comme ça...
Hey there's a lot of room on the national lawn near the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean War memorial, and the WW2 memorial for a lot more monuments to "peace" after we destory another country over oil when we could develop the hydrogen in place of oil. So, hell, live it up. Let's kill us some more god damned innocent bystanders.
Get out of fucking iraq and drop the whole war against terror bullshit. Its the same fuckng propaganda that was used during and before ww1. We all new that ww1 was said to be "the war against wars" but it didnt turn out that way. Just fucking get out of iraq, you will save a lot more lives that way. Im glad im from sweden and not from the us, if i was born in the us, i whould be ashamed of my country.
wow... no words... you are my hero man, i'm from argentina... your story it's really sad, the truth that you have written here is sad, but beautiful. I wish that many people (not americans only, i'm not a hater) could think like you. Hope your doing well, keep on living and trying to be happy, that's the best homage that you can pay to your friends. Thanks for the vid!
I do not support the war, but I do support the soldiers, and the original mission: Freedom.
Remember what the war is about; Freedom. This war is not for nothing, it's to save the innocent civilians of Iraq from the hands of the Jihads and terrorists who give Islam a bad name. Your sweat, blood and toil is not wasted.
I said ORIGINAL mission, which was MEANT to be freedom. However, things did not turn out as they were meant to be. I doubt that the war is truly about freedom, even if it was meant to be. And I never said I supported the war.
However, if we withdraw troops from Iraq now, there won't be any stability. We've got to secure the place, then move out as fast as we can.
What I was trying to say was that the war isn't only to make the rich richer, but to help the people of Iraq gain their freedom.
I'm sorry about your wound and your friends who have passed. I am fortunate that none of my friends who served didn't come back. But regarding your statement, no war has been fought to keep "us" (ie the working class) free. They've all been fought to keep the rich richer.
shut the fuck up man. if you had actually lost any of your friends you sure as fuck wouldn't be posting the shit on youtube. i'm not going to go into my experiences in that place but i know i'm not just going to put them out there for everyone else to read and feel sorry for you about. anyone thats truly ever seen combat won't talk about it (especially with a bunch of strangers). so do us all a favor and don't talk shit on a war that you "supposedly" fought in, because you don't know shit.
here here...wise words UF22, but even WW2 had similar parallels to this F-mess.
The war machine is a dangerous bedfellow for "The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave"...look no further than Eisenhower's farwell address (paste that phrase here and watch it). We are all falling prey to a Heglian Trap...divided we fall!!!
IMAGINE!!!
Hoi Hoi, thanks for this video it is right on point even if it is a bit Anti-American, Remember we (all people, all countries) are being played! UNITY
I don't care what anyone says, the goal was create a place in a wasteland that would draw in as many towel heads as possible and blow them away. There's no negotiating with terrorists, Bush knows that... This song still rocks though
Bush created the enemy of arabs,they are human. With exceptions of extremists,they are no more a threat to us then anyone else. Arabs have families and friends just like everyone else THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO THATS WHAT WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE,(NOT AN ENEMY!)
i wonder, y US army still go for war if they against all human suffering? y not juz walk away from it, quit the job, izzit becoz of income ?.. be a real hero eg: Fireman.
The Bouncing Souls have been my favorite band for years and years. I'm a U.S. Marine, and it pains me to see the suffering of anyone. I don't know if this video is for/againt us, but know that we have all of America's back. We'll fight and die for you.
I may not support the war in Iraq, but you have my full support, soldier. You sweat and bleed for freedom. I salute you and all my fellow Americans fighting overseas. I pray you come home safely, and I hope you recieve the hero's welcome you deserve. Regardless of the reasons why this war began, or why we still are fighting...we support the troops. God bless.
right on point! the video and the song are a summary of the conflict that will never end. most americans and our leaders are to dumb to recognize this fact, or they are to afraid of being called "CRAZY". welcome to the future america. there is no getting rid of this conflict of conflicts! obama, clinton , or mccain will not solve this. i've never been a religious person, but i hope our saviour is coming soon!
personally i think the war with the middle east was an inevitable farce
because we're fighting jihadists here and jihadists have a belief, the catch is u cant kill a belief because someones always going to pick it back up. i think invading IRAQ was kinda pointless but afganistan wasn't. if we did nothing then the attacks would continue so we're at least widdling them down
what do you mean, where is your god now? whats that all about? dude, i'm from the Netherlands , i have no god!!! we don;t watch our friends die either.
verzend geen onzin mailtjes, ik vind gewoon het liedje mooi.
Are you telling us(Americans) to turncoat on our country? Screw that, we might not like the war, but we aren't going to let the fate of the most free country in the world fall to oblivion just because of one war and one man.
what do you mean by free? the brilliantly undemocratic 2-party system where popular vote don`t matter at all, check up the word superdelegate. on top of that I think you should check up what habeas corpus is, it`s a right that`s currently not granted in the US. saying that you`re the most free country in the world to a dutchman is a bit on the daft side I think.

You have not answered the question between the lines. The question is, how can harming be put into the current situation? Also, harming is a natural factor in debate, as I have stated above. Debating is still argument. Are two or more parties against each other? Yes. But, it is not a logical argument as it does not focus on the observable axiom. Therefore, you have no other way to back yourself up. I have won the debate.

I'd like to add, we too are debating about the definition of debate. However, I am giving rock-solid evidence for my argument, while you have asserted and assumed arguments which have no evidence or source of any kind. Technically speaking, I have won the debate, and any further answer without unbiased "truth" will grant me victory.
firzenr 3 years ago
how did you gain rock-solid evidence, u didnt explain your thoughts of the difference of argument and debate. I havent assumed any kind of evidence, just definitions, and yes, we are debating, cause we aren't fighting...
JLuan1994 3 years ago
Actually, fighting is debating, as long as it does not only observe the consistency of the axiom. My sources? The dictionary, and several encyclopedias. You have assumed, you have only asked questions and answered in your own personal view, not the view of a 3rd party. Remember that the axiom is the margin which separates debate from a logical argument, which itself is a more specific term of argument itself.

Im Amarican and it dusnt mean shit if we got the technology and man power to beat the best, if we cant afford to maintain it.
Id say my perspective maybe diluted, but not enough to say America is always right.
I do feel for the troops and honer them its just.. someone wins but its not going to be the troops.

because you live in North America doesn't make you an American. Illegal immigrants are what we should be focusing on instead of the stupid war. American citizens are jobless and sleeping in the streets of NYC every night while illegal aliens work illegally without paying taxes.

pourquoi les soldats, les pompiers, les policiers... ont pour image des héros? et les irakiens (puisqu'on parle de la guerre en Irak) des images d'assassins prêt à n'importe quelle chose. Je comprend pas ça.

C'est par ce que le "bien" dépend du camp dans lequel tu te trouve. Et bien sur, les médias d'un pays vont tout faire pour faire croire que le gouvernement ne fait que des choses bien. D'ou l'image de l'iraquien mauvais. C'est cruel mais c'est comme ça...

Hey there's a lot of room on the national lawn near the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean War memorial, and the WW2 memorial for a lot more monuments to "peace" after we destory another country over oil when we could develop the hydrogen in place of oil. So, hell, live it up. Let's kill us some more god damned innocent bystanders.

Get out of fucking iraq and drop the whole war against terror bullshit. Its the same fuckng propaganda that was used during and before ww1. We all new that ww1 was said to be "the war against wars" but it didnt turn out that way. Just fucking get out of iraq, you will save a lot more lives that way. Im glad im from sweden and not from the us, if i was born in the us, i whould be ashamed of my country.

How could anyone of us who's been there say that we did this to "keep you safe" or "we die for you".
I know my history. The American Revolution and WW2 are the only wars fought to keep us free.
My battle buddies did not die for anthing more than to make a few even richer
Dont soil their memory. We hurt because of failed leadership
I miss them all terribly and i wish they had died for a better cause

It pains me to hear this. It really does.
I do not support the war, but I do support the soldiers, and the original mission: Freedom.
Remember what the war is about; Freedom. This war is not for nothing, it's to save the innocent civilians of Iraq from the hands of the Jihads and terrorists who give Islam a bad name. Your sweat, blood and toil is not wasted.
Thank you for fighting for the future.
Thank you for fighting for what's right.
Thank you for your priceless sacrifice.

I said ORIGINAL mission, which was MEANT to be freedom. However, things did not turn out as they were meant to be. I doubt that the war is truly about freedom, even if it was meant to be. And I never said I supported the war.
However, if we withdraw troops from Iraq now, there won't be any stability. We've got to secure the place, then move out as fast as we can.
What I was trying to say was that the war isn't only to make the rich richer, but to help the people of Iraq gain their freedom.
gruntsbaneook 3 years ago
I'm sorry about your wound and your friends who have passed. I am fortunate that none of my friends who served didn't come back. But regarding your statement, no war has been fought to keep "us" (ie the working class) free. They've all been fought to keep the rich richer.

shut the fuck up man. if you had actually lost any of your friends you sure as fuck wouldn't be posting the shit on youtube. i'm not going to go into my experiences in that place but i know i'm not just going to put them out there for everyone else to read and feel sorry for you about. anyone thats truly ever seen combat won't talk about it (especially with a bunch of strangers). so do us all a favor and don't talk shit on a war that you "supposedly" fought in, because you don't know shit.

because we're fighting jihadists here and jihadists have a belief, the catch is u cant kill a belief because someones always going to pick it back up. i think invading IRAQ was kinda pointless but afganistan wasn't. if we did nothing then the attacks would continue so we're at least widdling them down

what do you mean by free? the brilliantly undemocratic 2-party system where popular vote don`t matter at all, check up the word superdelegate. on top of that I think you should check up what habeas corpus is, it`s a right that`s currently not granted in the US. saying that you`re the most free country in the world to a dutchman is a bit on the daft side I think.
