Wow, nice male power fantasy about killing your opponents, bro. Dehumanizing the fuckers who dehumanize us will totally leave us all human in the end.
@blu3vibration The point... I think you missed it. He wasn't saying he WANTED this to happen. In fact, listen to "In the Name of God". It specifically condemns killing people in the name of political ideology. You do realize that this isn't from his POV, right? That it's from the POV of an Iraqi soldier with PTSD. I see it as more him singing about something that he thinks is inevitable, not something he wants to happen.
@blu3vibration Also, honestly, you seem to be slightly hypocritical here. You don't want people to have "male power fantasies" about "dehumanizing others", yet you specifically state that he's dehumanizing "our opponents." How is an Us vs. Them mentality not an act of dehumanization?
Halliburton is a military equipment company owned by Dick Cheney before and while he was V.P. Most major military contracts were given to Halliburton and Cheney made millions, the song explains how the Iraq war was a lie to gain profit and oil...which it is.
State goes to war and arms production is needed = Military industrial complex gains profit
Tanks and armored cars require imense quantities of fuel; that's where Halliburton, Exxon and Chevron come in place... They sell the energents that fuel the army... And there's some extra for them in Iraq what they didn't have in Korea or Vietnam - OIL...
Good song. Luckily in a lot of places there will be less military recruiters around high schools now.
My friend once had a conversation with someone he knew, the guy said "I just joined the Army", and my friend said "what a coincidence, I just joined Al Queda!" =p

I am related to this guy. He's a complete dickhead. He's one of the phoniest people I've ever known. He is abusive to women, a user, and extremely childish and self-centered. Those of you who like his lyrics are probably well informed, intelligent people. But do you really need to hear it from his whiney, obnoxious voice?
Everybody starts somewhere. What's sad is to know how ignorant and close minded people truly are. I'm assuming your criticism of these comments was based on the many 'conspiracy theories'. It has been proven most conspiracy theories arise from some truth, some tend to take it too far, but the opinions should never be ignored and shrugged off. If you think for 1 minute that a government wouldn't harm it's own people to get into a war, I suggest you start reading some history books.
The profits..... it's ONLY about the money with corporations. Money before human life. Before family. The only thing (and this is debatable) they won't put money before is their own lives.
Bravo, David. Teachers in Burnaby BC are rumbling to get military recruitment banned from schools. This is going to taske lots and lots of teachers...careers?
Im a dirty hippie and I want world peace. Peace for everyone bro. (Unless I dont like you then I hope you die).

Halliburton is an energy company...
But yeah; that's basically how it works...

How sad are these short sighted comments...if world history was driven by some of the things writted here we'd all be screwed.
It says something that all the videos from this guy are in living rooms.....how sad for him. Get a real forum.

this says it all. i wish the working class soldiers could realise they're injured and killed to make a profit for the military industrial complex.
no war between nations
no peace between classes

Someone should "suicide bomb" the Halliburton boardroom.

@lovelygreebo That would be one hell of a waste of a good leftie, mate. But someone has to do something. I wish I could see him live.
