"You know, there were many times I've told my wife — in just a state of panic, and just being so upset — that I really wished I just died over there [in Iraq]," he said. "Cause if you just die over there, everyone writes you off as a hero."

Recruiting officers promise the world and the troops finish up as cannon fodder or watching women and children killed and maimed. It is a rare human who can cope with war, but to cope with this war must be nearly impossible.

"Cause if you just die over there, everyone writes you off as a hero."

And when Johnny comes marching home, let's give him a medal and forget about him, right?

This is completely heart-wrenching. My husband has been to Iraq 2x and has come back relatively unscathed, though I know he has witnessed and heard things that he is not allowed to repeat. But, he is leaving, in 2 weeks, for his third tour and I have to ask myself, will we be lucky a third time?

Well this then seems a goo clip as any to add this. For those who know the story of this song, it fits both ways:

Take that look of worry
Im an ordinary man
They dont tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
Theres a fire thats been burning
Right outside my door
I cant see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind

Seems so long Ive been waiting
Still dont know what for
Theres no point escaping
I dont worry anymore
I cant come out to find you
I dont like to go outside
They cant turn off my feelings
Like theyre turning off a light
But i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind
Oh i, I dont mind
No i, I dont mind

So take, take me home
Cos I dont remember
Take, take...
