It's not about WAR so much as it is about the tendency of humans to fight with each other. Not just on the battlefield, but in every day situations. If you listen to the Roger the Hat interview, WAters discusses a bit of them meaning behind Us and Them: that we are constantly fighting each other and seperating ourselves into an "us vs. them" mentality. The point is that we unneccessarily divide ourselves based on every little thing, concentrate on our differences, and forget to think about all the ways we're all in this thing together.
So, yes, on a small scale, it's about war, but it's more about human nature in general. Not just the political idea of one country against another, but the very simple idea of one human against another.
