Lyric discussion by pinko 

The term "allies" does not apply just to WWII, it applies to all wars really, they used in it Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf Wars...

This is just a simple anti-war song in my opinion, told from the point of view of a soldier/songwriter living through it.

And am I the only one who hears a sample of the MASH theme song in the bridge?

@pinko Told from the point of view of a journalist covering the attack. It has nothing to do with war. Its about modern day attacks and those who report on such things. Then they leave because some other story became more important. Its actually quite obvious. almost laid out for you.
