Nov 16, 2008 - Wonderful song! I've seen this video multiple times, but it never ceases to amaze me how well the song melds with the video. I've been a fan of Colin Meloy's since his "Tarkio" days. He is truly a man of tremendous musical aptitude.

Nov 20, 2008 - Had it occurred to you that perhaps they intentionally shot the video this way to emphasize the naiveness of american foreign policy?

Nov 21, 2008 - Well for one the war in America doesn't just affect the people who are in combat, it affects just about everyone, and yes it would be a major loss to lose some one to this war but it affects just about everyone in America! And it's hard to be patriotic about America when we went to a war a lot of people didn't want to go to. and this song isn't an insult to America it can be insulting to some but a lot of this is truth. but i do agree this is a good song

KiraXIV Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - No the US is in a bad state right now, we use to be one of the best but now our country is in a downward spiral (hopefully Obama will be able to help change this). Don't get me wrong the U.S. is a great country but it doesn't change the fact that we are going down slowly.

TLO3794 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - well if were in a downward spiral that means that eventually we'll be as weak as EnglandWhich is the second best country in the worldand id rather live in england than anywhere else besides america

Ubercat2 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - I love the message in this video. It doesn't have much to do with the song, but it is still a good lesson for us Americans. We've been really mean to a lot of countries. It's not right.
