Smile Empty Soul - This Is War (Official Video)

[@greyarea6739]

Why was this band never given the credit they deserved,so underated

[@mototoad1242]

Couldn't agree more. Every album (including the brand new one) is great.

[@braveunicorn6264]

They are definitely underrated. His voice, the lyrics of everything they write, ❤

[@Kngquattro]

I always looked at these guys like a more refined Nirvana. That's probably why. U can't outshine Kurt Cobain

[@illshankyousofuckoff4344]

Honestly.

[@Buddy330]

Because this song. They don't like anti war music.

[@angelsdemons4113]

As a war veteran, this video is insanely hard to watch but combined with the song, it is one of the most powerful and direct anti war anthems I have heard. Their entire debut album was gold.

[@AmishMan777]

With this knife I cut out the heart of me, the heart that cares for you.

[@connorbisho7979]

thank you for your service, sir.

[@lucasberard]

This video hits me very hard. I am a combat veteran who now advocates for peace. I took part in the bloodiest battle of the Iraq war, Fallujah 2004. My heart broke in that place, though it took me years to realize it.

[@AlphaKiloPolitics]

Rah sir, thank you for your service

[@The85F0X]

Peace is only sustained because brave men stand ready to do violence to those who would threaten it.

[@vault79wanderer65]

Lucas B thank you for your service and sacrifice brother..You may not know it but you are a hero! You and all those who serve,served,or will serve.🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@gregoryhunts3006]

Lucas B.. My freedom is allowed because of brave men and women like you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope and pray that you can one day mend that broken heart of yours sir.

[@jayharbeck2718]

I am an Iraq Veteran...this is a powerful song.

[@borjon0311]

I served in Ramadi 2004. War is not beautiful or victimless. To say we did what we had to for our country is ignorant. This song is great. But I’ll always remember my brothers we lost. Semper Yut

[@crono3339]

Hey man I was in Ramadi in 04 as well, FOB junction City, Route Michigan about every day. Shit sucked, love this song, fuck the war.

[@Eborjon0311]

I was in the Snake Pit. IED sweeps and OPs, shit we were sitting ducks.

[@jesseansorge]

Route Michigan, route sword, Jackson-Irish, MSR Tampa, etc. They all sucked. It always seem those that cheer the loudest for war have never experienced it.

[@Captainkebbles1392]

For my Vietnam project in highschool, i did "the things they carried" and played this over classic patriotic images that slowly became more and more gruesome and shocking until it was faded the black, the star spangled banner played over black as i used combat footage of men being shot and fighting for their life mixed in. Was i promptly suspended. Apparently i was supposed to make a patriotic one.. I argued I did, nothing is more patriotic than being honest "War is dirty..nasty..evil business...that has no place in our world"

YES IT IS WAR

[@HangTimeAZ39]

I would also like to add that even though I don't agree with Smile Empty Soul's particular views on war, I can still listen to their music and enjoy it. No, I don't agree 100% with my leaders. No one ever should. That's blind, closed-minded ambition. But to say that quitting the military will start the peace process? Come on, that's just narrow and unenlightened. War has been going on since man learned how to fight. It won't ever stop. So sit back and enjoy the music, and your freedom.

[@TheAki8972]

My friend introduced this song to me in the university, 10 years ago. He died after few months we know each other. I still remember this song because of him. May you rest in peace.

[@BassNinja]

Oohrah what was his name?

[@MrGreenbeans2]

The poor fight the rich mans war.

[@ambercrowgill865]

It's an eerie video. It makes you think .

[@warrensmitherman6541]

Something most people will never realize is that sacrificing your body is one of the easiest parts about being a soldier. Sacrificing your heart, your mind, your soul and your family.......thats the part that really destroys soldiers.

[@bloodyheartofmine]

You know, reading the comments alone, that is a perfect example of why there will never be peace. There won't be peace as long as people have emotions. And peace isn't even the real point to this video. Go back and watch it again. It’s sacrifice. "I wanted to be so much more, but this is war." They sacrifice and risk their own futures for ours. That alone gives me extreme respect for all soldiers.

[@xxslipknot4life33xx]

Best war song ever. I've noticed that there are two kinds of veterans - some of them hate war so much, that they avoid everything what reminds them of it even articles or tv reports. Others love it and can never leave it behind - it's always in them, till they die.

Some are able to see the atrocities of war, the inhumane nature. Some well their minds break and they're stuck in it. Anyone who has truly experienced it will not look at it in a good way, there's nothing beautiful it romantic about it. War is ugly, and sadly with certain mindsets it's unavoidable

I was born October 2, 2001. After 9/11. I’m now an 11B (Infantrymen) in the US Army.. it’s crazy to think that I can now fight in a war that’s older than me.. I’ve got a few friends I went to basic training and high school with that are in Syria and Iraq right now.. this hurts my heart.

No matter what you've thought of SES, this song is not only good, it's important. War becomes more unnecessary the more progressive a person becomes. The way to truly cure the world from war is not to destroy rich people, destroy religion, eliminate ideology or emotion. Educate people, and progressiveness will cure the rest.

Went to stay there last summer and travelled around in buses and with random ppl and had an amazing time!

Gandhi fought for independence through his peace marches, and he won. Peace above all will come from those who want change! And I respect your opinion :)
