  • There are no great men. Just brave men who do great things.

  • ??? my comment has 59 likes, yet it's not up there^^ anymore...

  • thank-you too all the soldiers who have fought in wars, who have fought for us. God bless you all and to me all of you are hero's, in every meaning of the word ...

  • Comment removed

  • 5*****

  • And might I just say- People who argue over politics here are douchebags ruining it for everyone else.

  • good bye cobber ...god bless

  • I'm Not one to get emotional over a song but when i heard this song, i thought of my dad and i couldn't really understand what was going on inside his head for a while but this song added a little bit of clarity to his endeavor. I love and respect him and i don't call him a hero of war, i call him dad, because no one is a hero of war, its a paradoxical phrase that is overused without the thought of the ideas that the phrase really defines.

  • Also, i just thought of this, that flag that the man in this song carries home, is that the White as Snow Flag, or the US Flag?

  • @kuulyn I thinks its the american flag. although now that i think it could be the white flag. he says 'its a flag that i trust' and he could mean the white one as he dosnt trust america any more because of what it has put him through. he trusts the white flag as it stands for surrendering; the end of war. thats what he wants, what he would love and what he would trust. It could be either but id like tp think its the white one. hope that helps. this is such a great song. Makes you think.

  • @TeamOfM good point, i thought that at first, but then i thought about what the flag really symbolized... but yeah, makes ya' think

  • @TeamOfM It is the white flag, because as the song is talking about it, it says "And i brought home 'that' flag"

  • There are no winners in a war just destroyed homes, killed men, families ripped apart,... there can't step a hero out of this

  • @TheNeo1992 "qoute" have you ever heard of the book "Orphanage"? it, and it sequels are about a man named Jason Wander. he joins in the Army in the year 2040. so, from age 18 to 55, he fought to save the human race from extinction. when victory was achieved, he had lost both legs, an arm, and 2 fingers. (they were replaced, he's not a stub...) he lost the arm to save his best friend, and his fingers to save himself. he won the war. WHAT DO YOU CALL HIM!? "unqoute" orginally poted by Kuulyn.

  • @22Markis thanks for using that, look that book up, seriously, it was great!

  • @22Markis hes a fictional character....

  • @TheJodie96 ..... epic-fail budd'

  • Breath taking song. Truly amazingg.

  • Love this song.

    And the stories are actually true. Tim said in an interview that he got these stories from soldiers who fought in a war. So they're based on the truth.

    Damn what these men had to go through must have been horrible.

    Respect for these guys. And for rise against of course:)

  • love it!!!!!!!!!:D

  • @ kuulyn A hero.

  • He joined the army hoping to become someone people respected, without fully realizing what it meant to truely be at war, or the real horrors and futility of it all. the only real hero's of war are the ones who died protecting others, so theres really no such thing as a hero of war who came back alive, just like there is no such thing as an unwounded soldier...

  • @22Markis Not true I guess, a hero of war can be someone who defended people and still lives. But I don't think there's a real 'correct' answer about 'what is a real hero of war'. I don't think there's filosific behind this.

  • i dnt like how it sounds like he shot a girl

  • @FunkySelenaDemiLover it sounds like that cuz he did shoot a girl, one of the sadest parts but not AS sad as when he took the guy away or when they pissed in his hands ='(

  • The soldier with the most medals is the one that did the most killing. The soldier that took the lives of anyone, even innocent people, just so he and his country could try to get the upper hand. If that is the best soldier, then no one should ever have to be a good soldier.

  • @spizynacho I agree with you completely, no one should have to be a good soldier if thats what it take to be one.

  • There is only so much a soldier can take before they are mentally exhausted, Nevermind Physically exhausted.

  • This song is making me really thinking of joining the (dutch) army. and fight frontline..to save the innocent people defendless and all.

  • cool song.nice vid :]

  • You're only a hero if you save someones life..not take it away

  • @bigyankeesfan26 then whats a person that takes one life to save another? soldiers arent the ones that start the war, they just fight it to protect us from all getting killed

  • this is not a pro war or an anti war song. its a song about stories. stories of any soldier, it could be anyone from any country. we join the army with expectations of glory and shit, but its not like that

  • at 3:16 i think it says that the blood now hath soaked (olde english)

    i think that phrase is in the bible as well

    please do correct me if i'm wrong

  • @metsnygiants youre right it does say the blood now hath soaked...but i dont know if its in the bible...youre right about the words though hahaha :)

  • @makesmeworse12 thx for confirming that :)

  • @metsnygiants youre welcome :) no problem hahaha i actually like just noticed it after you pointed it out but its true and you were right :)

  • @metsnygiants What he literally says is "blood now hath soak".

  • a war has no heros or winners - only tragedies and horror

  • CCCP flag?! Oh, no, sorry, by dislike :(

  • Real hero stops a war

  • I wish this song never stopped

  • wow.

    this song makes me think a lot.

    sad song.

    and makes me think what soldiers go through.

    makes me wonder if all we hear about war is true or lies.

    or what really goes on at war.

    makes me wonder what i would be going through.

    i want to serve for my country,

  • :'( so sad but a good song

  • What got me was around 3:25...

    I was fine up until then..

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I hope my brother getss home safely, and decides not too get active!

  • To me this song talks about how soldiers have to deal with PTSD, war crimes, and civilians not knowing what the soldier has had to go through, all they see is a uniform.

  • Like a memorial to an unknown soldier ...

  • if you told me i could see the world, sorry but id say no. not through war.

  • Im surprised they didn't mention the sodomy

  • I love this song. Its so sad. It makes me wonder about war. I always hear about it but do i hear the truth? Who knows. I think this song shows what war really is. Its very inspirational.

  • A deep song. It makes you think of what happens to soldiers.

  • this is the first time i ever heard this song its mind blowng it had my eyes watering and its easy 2 under stand if yu just think

  • there is no such thing as a hero of war....

  • @1407tommy tommy i agree and i love this song it has a lot of meaning

  • Comment removed

  • @1407tommy i happen to think every soldier is a hero of war.

  • @1407tommy Dude the soldiers that don't return home are the hero's of war, and the people the get awards truly always accepted them in their honor, memory, and respect

  • @Detrimental23 in war there is only killing.... but no worrys I'm becoming a soldier myself... its just I thought of it at the time I wrote that xd its nothing special XD

  • @1407tommy the real hero of war is the one who ends it for good.

  • @1407tommy Ppl who offer the life fore there family and country what are they? if not heros shore soldiers can do wrong but Remember a soldier dont starts the war it the politician who hiding behind them and seends the men to death. War is in our blood and always will be.

  • @Trickortrit what you say is treu but the fact remains if you kill someone ... does that make you a hero? I would kill 10 men if it ment I could save my family and my friend... but he is trying to do the same thing.... so who's the hero?

  • dick....

  • @1407tommy ya there is what about the soldier who was shot and a gernade was thrown at his men and he pulled it under him to save them ? hes a real hero and there are tons more out there and we need to have alittle more faith in our soliders and compassion through the struggles they go through. soldiers in general are heros

  • @1407tommy Then tell me what the hell do you call someone who saves the life of his fellow soldiers by sacrificing himself instead of a whole platoon? A hero of peace?... Bullshit!

  • @1407tommy have you ever heard of the book "Orphanage"? it, and it sequels are about a man named Jason Wander. he joins in the Army in the year 2040. so, from age 18 to 55, he fought to save the human race from extinction. when victory was achieved, he had lost both legs, an arm, and 2 fingers. (they were replaced, he's not a stub...) he lost the arm to save his best friend, and his fingers to save himself. he won the war. WHAT DO YOU CALL HIM!?

  • @kuulyn I would call him a hero of war =/

  • @CookieBoy884 thank you! also,

    (no longer making a point)

    i forgot about his best friend who sacrificed himself (crashed the ship into the planet over the enemies base) in a moment when he learned that his newlywed wife was pregnant....

  • @1407tommy that, my dear sir, is VERY debateable.

  • @1407tommy I must disagree with you on this account because war in fact breeds heroes. Take for instance, George Washington, he was general before being president. He is considered one of the main heroes of this nation. Also, look at the 94 medal of honor recipients we still have in our country. What would you say to all of those returning from Afghanistan next month? huh? They're not heroes?

  • @1407tommy well, Apparently You don't appreciate what the soldiers are giving for you to have this way of life. They are giving there damn lives. They are all damn hero's. It doesn't matter if you think the reason there over their is bad. It's not there choice, its the governments, They're doing what they are told.

  • @1407tommy wow true patriot huh....those solders go over and fight and risks they're lives for our rights and fucking pussy ass bitches who never even seen battle sit here and say they are doing wrong....im not insulting any one i just think people should at least see what it is like in the solders shoes you cant drive a car from the back seat you know? sure sometimes they dont feel like hero's but they are and people should stop protesting and start supporting our men and women over there.

  • @1407tommy people die trying to protect their country, and your going to disrespect them like that?

  • @13AngelsFan I think i would let you know how many innocents america has killed in the Iraq war: 111,937 and more being announced every day.

  • @racker150 people like you are sooo stupid, i kind of feel bad for you. but then i read your first comment, then remembered your a douchebag

  • @13AngelsFan Ask any soldier if they are a war hero to themselves they will answer no.

  • Comment removed

  • got a high fuve from singer and drumer of rise against at funfest 2010 west palm

  • WOW--- nobody understands this song---

    it can apply to any country (but mostly america (american band)

    but its saying that people understand the prestige of becoming a soldier and that they serve thier country--- but nobody understands the situations that destroy your whole mindset on the preciousness of life

  • @metsnygiants as well as that, it also discusses various "interrogation methods" that were employed by US soldiers in Iraq..

  • @metsnygiants exactly man no one realizes the cost they actually pay by doing the things they do to protect their country

  • @metsnygiants I understood that... is good to see that other understand the same

  • deep song:P

  • Why dont they have any songs like this about Britain? ;(

  • Why i must ask would you edit in other nations flags in this ? thats very disrespectful this song has nothing to do with that.

  • nice vid man ;)

  • this... song... just makes me think about our soldiers, and how they try to do the right thing... please even if you do not believe in prayer, please pray for our soldiers, cause when it comes down to it, they are just like you and me, our brothers and our sisters, try to get by, and doing what the believe is right. Thank you God for the brave individuals who make up our army.

  • @AdoAdowowski You... do... know what this song is about right?

  • Very well put :)

  • you say pop- I say shut the fuck up

    you say soulja boy- I say blink 182

    you say rihanna - I say metallica

    you say hip-hop - I say three days grace

    you say lady gaga - I say bullet for my valentine

    you say emenem - I say rise against

    you say hanna montana - I scream heavy metal

    you say justin bieber - I rip your fucking head off

    92% of teenagers have turned to hip-hop and pop, if ur part of the 8%, copy this message and past it to an other video. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE!

  • im in love with this song.and if ya'll have different opinions just let it be that way.a song is like poetry and you can interpret it anyway you please.but i think by him saying "son have you seen the world?" that the world being all the acts of war.and people dont know what they are getting into when they join the army.all the things they will see the scars of remembrance and how it opens your eyes to the real "world".

  • The song is just showing that the Military may have a concept of peace, but not all the soldiers can be called "Heroes of War", their actions may be unknown, but the people that were involved will be scarred forever.

  • Look this is true... Being in the military isn't about being a hero!!! The military is for doing somthing!! Even if you don't want to fight you could be intelligence or somthing instead but seriously if your in the military it should be for doing somthing for your COUNTRY not YOURSELVES.

  • FUCK THIS SONG! Made by a bunch of unpatriotic MOTHERFUCKERS!

  • @mason573 fuck you! this song is as patriotic as it gets!Don't hate the band hate the song you dick!

  • @deviator247 No it isn't stupid fuck! It talks about Soldiers/Marines commiting war crimes and they are one point in the song they say "we took him away with a bag over his face from his family and friends" They are showing pitty for terrorist not humans!How in the fuck is this patriotic.

  • @mason573 yeah okay so terrorists aren't humans?you r really that brain dead, i don't feel sympathy for the terrorist i feel sympathy towards a person who was beaten brutally and pissed on!OK? i freaking love America and if you call me a traitor or unpatriotic your fucking blind deaf and dumb now shut the hell up and listen to the son you high-strung douche-bag.

  • @deviator247 this is happening in iraq dipshit.

  • @XipurplefuryiX i know it's happening in iraq and if you want to start a fight about a song your retarded i don't really care what you think, hell no one cares what i think but that doesn't mean i'm not gonna say it if i think it's patriotic? FINE if you don't FINE but rise against is one of my favorite bands and if that asshole is gonna hate on 'em i'm gonna defend them, there now does that justify my comment or are you going to attack me by calling me gay or fat or something? no offense meant.

  • @deviator247 I just meant that this and other things are happening there. theres a video of them having fun killing people that are doing nothing to them. i hate this song personaly but i love the band.

  • @XipurplefuryiX ok man i didn't want to start a mini flame war or anything i just wanted people to know i wasn't trolling or anything i like rise against too man and this song is okay but it's not my favorite either truce?

  • @deviator247 ya, truce.

  • @XipurplefuryiX allright man

  • i got cold chills listening to this song...

  • i freaking love this song

  • This song speaks to me...

  • @stratos0071 HOW?! Are you in the army?! If you are START KICKING ASS AND GET OFF YOUTUBE!

  • @GAMERPERSON100 dude just because your Canadain doesnt mean anything derp im russain and i know better that war isnt the answer damnmit ppl dont you understand we will never stop fighting but its just more murders and im not a hippie either i am in the marines!

  • Such a passionate song, its amazing. It's speaks to me.

  • personalty i am joining the army soon <3 and this is my favorite song of all time. some is true and i know ill regret some of it but i love my state and will do anything to keep it free.

  • K I love Rise against... But like none of this stuff happens lol... If a soldier got caught doing one of these things the liberal media would be all over him and then they would get fucked and thrown straight into jail to be someones bitch... Read the Lone Surviver and he'll explain it alot better than i do... God bless the military... After all, they are giving up so much to fight for your sorry asses so be thankful.

  • @IPosidenI Please take your head out of your ass.

    watch?v=h8RfmqYWkXY

    I am very thankful. I am also not naive.

  • @BestTypoEver And he didn't even fucking "abuse" him. After getting shot at, it tends to stress people out. You get your head out of your ass, dip shit.

  • @IPosidenI I love the military with all my heart soul and mind.... but there are some people who are beyond corrupt out there, and others who will keep hush hush about what they do. God bless the truthful, the valiant, and the strong... they're the ones who deserve the medals, not fools

  • @KieraTakaTocala And those sick fucks don't get medals. You can tell which soldiers are right in the head. I'm sure anyone that is "beyond corrupt" like that will always have an eye and an ear on them.

  • @IPosidenI Well of course you can tell who is good and not good... But what i hate is when the good guys go bad injust a situation... this song is blasphemy, yet it can sometimes make sence.... but really, I look up to soldiers more then anything

  • @IPosidenI I'm The one protecting your ass i am in the marines i just got back and started a new career after fighting for 9 years and 1 thing is that out there, rape beatings abuse and way more shit you couldn't imagine happens. You know whats worst how all these people on youtube don't get it makes me sick.

  • @SergeyProductions That is total bull shit. I bet you're total bull shit too.

  • @IPosidenI haha i laugh at you cause you dont even know what your talking about to talking about something you never have been through unless you have been to iraq its not a nice place.

  • @SergeyProductions I laugh at you because I can just tell you're bullshitting me. You're probably some 13 year old kid that doesn't know shit about iraq.. Oh, and btw, Marine, huh? Use fucking grammar you Dumb ass. You people that lie about serving, you guys have some mental fucking issues.

  • @IPosidenI Ok well i would like to see you prove that i'm bullshitting because this isn't my account it's my son's, And to let you know he wants to join the Spetnaz, And one last thing I live in Russia my grandpa fought in WWII and he told me stories when i was young that shit like that happened. He was a PoW For 7 months, But sure you don't have to believe me, because I have seen your channel and you just like the marines but are you one have you heard stories of a marine? I think I just won.

  • @SergeyProductions Not true btw. I like the Navy. I'm going to join the SEALs in a few years. And no, i haven't. Based on events that have happened before, whoever would do shit like that would be fucked by the U.S. You should read the Lone survivor. Then you'll get the concept of what i'm talking about

  • @IPosidenI ok we are both acting like little babies why don't we stop fighting ok.

  • i've been in the military for 6 years now, been over in combat tours for more than a year... and I still have yet to piss in anyone's hands. I must have missed that briefing...

  • this song is so sad, i fully agree with the intro, it sounds like an AMAZING deal, but really, it sucks, as this song points out. and, a truly good song creates a debatable topic, as can be proven by the amount of comments

  • My brother just joined the Army, every time I hear this song I think of him.

  • @bevon17 - hooahh in fact my bro who is in the marines tho is leaving for afgan today.........:(

  • I looove this soong! I think its one of Rise against's best song

  • I still dont get this song!!! somebody please explain it

  • @014Taylor most people think that when they join the military they think it will be great and everyone will love them and they will be happy, well this song shows how it can be the exact opposite

  • @014Taylor the song is also showing that people join the army for the wrong reasons. And is saying that we do things that we regret and people only see the medals and things they went through for their country. But no matter what, they love their country.. The song is also saying that people see them as heros but don't know what they have done...

  • this is the best song everr.. it made me cryy. this songs words people need to thinkk about. because fighting in the war, thinking yurr doing something right doesn't mean you are.

  • amazing song and lyrics <3

  • is this song anti-war ??

    i hope its not,, but is it??

  • nice

  • I personally think that the song is trying to represent what some of the greater world powers do to the smaller countries, especially the US. and taking the Man from his family and friends is representing the fact that the US starts a lot of these wars. and the chick with the white flag, I'm thinking is like how the US uses our power to stay the top power, and if anyone tries to quell that power, we destroy them, even if they don't want a war, just want to say that we suck, which we kind of do.

  • he pissed in his hands thats gross

  • I love this song! :)

  • its a good song i guess but savoir is better by a landslide

  • This song is intense if you any sort of conscience.

  • gr8 ass song

  • Comment removed

  • song is legit

  • I love rise against and all of their songs

  • yet another amazing video!!!

  • kickass.

  • Indeed, this is really sad, great song though

  • I just heard the first 3 seconds and just instantly loved it. ROCK ON!!!!!!!! I knowz I lame, but I get wild around my rock.
