UB40 - Present Arms

[Kaikoura72]

i reckon ... still going on ... Sighhhhhhhhh!!!!

[ThePiola68]

Make love not war.

[bobby5637]

@ThePiola68 make war then have love hahahaha

[birdman404]

cool childhood songs

[zxhamstring]

I'm a Canadian and if I ever cross paths with a soldier in uniform, I tell 'em, I hope he/she doesn't go to fight in Afganistan.

[TheWestchase]

love this song....

[Terrra91]

Its fuckin sick how much the British government treats soldiers with no value. They have a total lack of respect for human life. I still can't believe they weren't getting armoured vehicles or body armour. Only one word describes them: CUNTS. They ought to be strapped to a traffic lamp and beaten the fuck up by the public.

[chelseafcsw6]

Totally agree, Shame they don't look after them once they have done the business unlike Germany of old and the US of A today. Thrown on the scrap heap, expendable and no thanks for their services.

[Terrra91]

@chelseafcsw6 There was something on troops who had come home on Panorama. Its sad to see someone who risks their life for the army turn up homeless and attempt suicide. Balls to all them liberals preaching pacifism and saying the troops will go to hell. Humans have come too far down the line of temptation for there to be a utiopia.

[PerignonPop]

@Terrra91 They take a job as Government Murderer and then expect love 'pon return? Ridiculous.

Nothing New Under The Sun. on and on and on and on and on....

[wehatemillwall]

respect to every british soldier!!!! i am an ex Dutch soldier(corporal)

[yuryiodizadebee]

signing off and present arms are best ub40 albums ever, they were too much up their own arses after that.

[fandingo69]

i was a british soldier and served in northern ireland and think the lyrics are fine its true we are allways fighting in shit wars only done it cos there was no jobs and got paid for it and would do it again but not for this shit hole of a country

[DreadDreadTime]

lyrics is very truly. what do You think about polish army. i'm from Poland. my dad is professional soldier about 26 years now. maybe we get some changes in the future in main army. :)

greets. :)

[fandingo69]

@DreadDreadTime why dont you work in poland instead ov bleeding my country dry if you really want to help britain then go home and take all ya cousins is this the thanks we get for kicking zee germans out ya house

[ReeferMadnessity]

@fandingo69 It's not your country and never has been! For too long we europeans believed that a man could own land, in reality the land owns us.

[bobby5637]

@DreadDreadTime maybe can only but hope

[TS4BadBoy]

@fandingo69 dont blame you mate this country isnt ours no more

[oldschool619619]

@fandingo69 Mate i want to shake your hand

[AlfieNoakesOhHo]

@fandingo69 yeah man, My dad was in the British Army just after the war in Egypt keeping the Suez Canal open. He was a good soldier but couldn't understand what they were doing there

[bobby5637]

@fandingo69 i would if i was paid

[John031989]

The lyrics of this song appeal to cowards... I'm not tryin to get a rise out of anybody, and I'm still a fan of UB40, but seriously the Falklands DID belong to Britain.

[CassidyAiiit]

this video shows also armies of warsaw pact, and most of it is from training. its about the message.

most wars are fought by poor people who doesnt know each other for few rich people who know each other pretty well ;)

[ivorbigonee]

Because they stole it originally.

WAR IS BAD YOU FUCK HEAD

[fandingo69]

@John031989 briton doesnt belong to briton never mind the falklands give me one good reason my sons should fight for briton .it is one big shit hole

[OvertlyRevolutionary]

Ahhh....The BUSINESS and PROFITEERS of war...Just like we have in the U.S. Most of the Profiteers are our Senators and Congressman...Yeah, really! Stock in the defense industry & WAR makes them wealthier than the "commoners" they represent. Unfortunately, Americans are too dumbed down to realize this. Someone once said, "Real change, revolution, was historically brought about by a small group of individuals." THANK GOD, CUZ MOST AMERICANS ARE TOO STUPID & LAZY TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK ON THEIR REPS

[flipjack42]

wassup BSB

[UB40Music]

Those video clips are from the falklands war back in '82 i think.

[bobanlisa]

love this song it definitely belongs on a greatest hits album

[dlinkw]

Best of UB40 81-83

[DreadDreadTime]

no it must be in THE BEST OF UB40 30th Anniversary hehe. :)

jah bless!

[tonyale1976]

how relevant in these times

[RasMajnouni]

This presentation (is well done) but the great music makes the heat of battle seems almost glorious.You don't see the tanks,artillery ,troops,moved into formation after weeks or more of fortifications built beforehand, just the thrust of war leading up to its exciting climax.Not anti-war.(just a media comment).

[UB40Music]

Dude, where did ya find this vid?? This is the first time I've ever seen this vid. Thanks for posting my man...

[nowonearth]

[garnzaonthenet]

Mega-another class album from the one and only

. very poignant song.

[cazanova3030]

After its 28 years release, this song still reflects the actual wars these days "Protecting what isn't yours" UB40 Geniuses. Check their Ivory Madonna song, it's nice too. Thx for posting..

[125or200px]

cazanova3030,i take it you mean "Food For Thought",as you quoted the opening line from that song.

[superkingsblue]
