I love Arcade Fire and Bruce Springsteen. I think it's funny that politicians use this song though, i mean the song is about America treating veterans badly. Great song though.

Raygun was in the throes of Oldtimers when he tried to latch onto this song. Of course he was a vet too. There to liberate Dachau. Long gone daddy in the USA. GOPers are nitwits in general. When people talk about the invasion of Iraq costing billions for nothing, they need to consider taking care of damaged vets. Try a few trillions, morons.

I can't believe how many people don't understand the meaning of this song or AF's purpose in covering it. some of these comments make me sad. thanks youtube. i just hope the rest of the over 15000 ppl who have enjoyed this understand the depth and the kind of witness that is going on in this song and in AF's choice to play it in that context. it was a moving and really unforgettable moment.
