I wanna leave you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Civil Wars's song Same Old Same Old convey a sense of frustration and weariness in a relationship that seems stale and repetitive. The singer expresses a desire to break free from this pattern, to leave and give up, but also to stay and work on the relationship. The lyrics are full of contradictions, highlighting the complexity of emotions involved in a struggling relationship.

The singer expresses a longing for change and growth, but also acknowledges their own limitations and fears. They want to break things and cross lines, but they also don't want to fight. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to work on the relationship and fight for it, but only if there is a real chance for something new and different.

The song is a powerful reflection on the challenges and rewards of love, and the difficulties of breaking free from old patterns and habits. The Civil Wars's haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation add to the emotional depth of the lyrics, creating a poignant and powerful track that resonates with listeners.

I’ve never been to war, but basic training taught something about war that I will never forget.

I was at the rifle range- it was cold, I was tired, and it was raining. I hadn’t hardly spoken to my family and wondered how things were at home.

In that moment I thought of all the men and women who had died cold, tired, hungry, alone, afraid, and confused in war. And there I was training to be a real soldier who could one day meet the same fate.

The cool gear suddenly felt like a costume, I despised the idea of war more than ever, and the false bravado presented itself all around me. Yet, I still knew somebody had to stand up and do the job because humanity is deeply flawed. We will always fight, I think.

Strive to be strong and peaceful my friends.

Never wish for war or glorify it- there is hell enough on Earth as is.

My brother wasn't at Fallujah, but he was on from 2002-2010. Infantry sniper, Army. 82nd airborne then 1rst armored

He's told me plenty of combat stories where he doesn't kill people. But I know he has. There's no way an infantry sniper did 4 tours in war and doesn't kill somebody. I know of two stories.

First story was the first time he killed someone. They took contact from a few insurgents(he was a regular grunt at this point. He'd go through sniper school later). He saw a guy with a gun, centered his Iron sights, pulled the trigger. And the dude fell. After the shootout his squad leader took the head wrap from the insurgent and gave to him as trophy. He didn't like how it made him feel.

Second story he was on gate guard. A vehicle started heading for his gate wouldn't slow down, wouldn't respond to warnings they threw smoke they fired warning shots. Vehicle wouldn't stop. My brother aimed at the driver, killed him.

Next thing he knew. Two kids came out crying their eyes out. He killed their father. He wasn't an attacker. But for some reason he didn't slow down and stop. He still loses sleep over that.

They did an investigation he wasn't found guilty. Because he followed proper procedure and rules of engagement and the vehicle legitimately did look like an attacker.

I know he has more stories. He just won't tell me. I hope one day he does. I don't think those memories should be glorified. But I think they need to be remembered and written down in history. What he takes with him to the grave would only perish forever. But ultimately i must respect his choice.

I would later enlist myself as a commo tech. Then go to college and get a degree in history and commission as a Field artillery officer. Joined as a Private. Now I'm a First Lieutenant about to pin Captain.

I haven't deployed. But vets from this era get the utmost respect from me because my brother is one of them. I'm a big nerd. Hope to transfer to strategic Intel. So I can somehow contribute and be worthwhile to a peace time army as somebody with no real experience.

All the leaves are brown

The palm trees in the street are covered in dust

And the sky is gray

Sky is covered by smoke from artillery barage and IEDs

I have been for a walk

I was send on patrol

On a winter's day

Sergent told us it is already december

I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A

I miss my home...

I worked in an office of military vets, the vast majority combat veterans from the Iraqi war. We all got along great in our civilian job and even after parting from the company, we still kept in touch every year through our Fantasy Football league. One of the folks I knew, James, was a part of this team and an Army combat veteran every year for the past 7 years. Someone that mentored me when we both worked in the same office, rode in my first ever new car on our way to lunch, and always shared a laugh. Unfortunately, I was informed he took his own life this last weekend. Although we were thousands of miles apart for over 5 years, its like I lost a brother.

All this to say, check on your battle brothers and sisters, make sure you're there for them. And if you're suffering, reach out and don't be afraid to ask for help.

For my friend that passed, the best thing I can do for him is keep him in my memory. I keep an, unfortunately, ever growing wall of pictures of friends on my fridge that have passed over the years so that every day I can keep them in my thoughts and their memory won't be forgotten.

I spoke with a Marine who took part in the second battle of Fallujah. He said the point where he thinks he finally snapped was when he tripped over garbage and ended up being pinned down behind a 6 inch curb trying to make himself as small as possible as PKM rounds were chewing up the sidewalk next to his face, waiting for friendlies to return fire on his behalf. He couldn't help but to start laughing at how ridiculous his situation was.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

@nachtfn

@StretchyPhrog (context if you didnt know originally) the quotes from a conference where an ex-veteran confronts George Bush saying "Mr. Bush when are you going to apologize for the million Iraqi's that are dead because you lied? You lied about weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) You lied about connections to 9/11! You lied about Iraq being a threat! You sent me to Iraq! You sent me to Iraq in 2003. My friends are dead! Joshua Casteel... You killed people! You lied! You lied about WMDs! A million Iraqi's are dead because you lied! My friends are dead because you lied! You need to apologize! Apologize!" - Michael Prysner. In the conference he saying half of this stuff while getting dragged out by security and by bystanders. There was one thing I saw which I think goes along with this, it said "Freedom of Speech until the Speech that is being said is the truth".

This flat out feels like the opening of a war movie. I just close my eyes and I see the news broadcast after the opening "black screen" and as the camera zooms into the live footage we see snaps of real soldiers in combat in live footage with the opening credits superimposed over these horrifying images of the conflict. The production and mixing of this is unbelievable as always.

Dad was a Captain in 1/8 during Fallujah, just a month before I was born. Always incredible to think that a single bullet going in a different way could have left me without ever knowing my Dad. Three men died under his command, and it will never leave him. Dad is far better adjusted than some, but PTSD is still PTSD. I'm just grateful that he is willing to share his stories with me and tries to live life to the fullest for his kids and for the boys he lost. He's very excited for the Six Days in Fallujah game coming out next year!

Thank you for creating the incredible content that you do, it means a lot.

EDIT: My father passed away in August at 47, just three days before I started college. My views on him are much more complex now, to say the least (though much of that is concerning his quality as a father and man.) However, I can’t deny there is a pride I feel knowing he is now buried at the Arlington National Cemetery, overlooking the Pentagon, the Capitol, and the graves of many of his men.

While that was happening there was a massive uprising across almost the entirety of the country that spring into summer. The Marines stopped their push into Fallujah and handed it over to Iraqi National Guard at the recommendation of Paul Bremer. US forces weren’t even allowed in the city from May until The 2nd battle in November of 04. Also, tons of Iraqi police and Soldiers fought in and around the city during the entirety of the US occupation. The only living Medal of Honor recipient from OIF was a US Army Soldier whose actions occurred during Phantom Fury. Don’t fall into the mythical realm of Marine Corps historical revisionism.

I am glad that we fought off terrorists and tried to keep the peace. But at the same time we really did fuck up a lot in the middle east. Besides defeating isis and terrorists groups, we didn't have any business to deploy. In certain cases, the deaths were in vein. Like Vietnam and most recently Afghanistan. And we also abandoned our allies like the Kurdish. We fought along side the kurds and died with them. To keep them safe. We were the reason that Turkey, Isis and many other terrorist groups and Arab countries didn't kill the kurds off. And we abandoned them like that. In conclusion, yhere's many examples of good and bad in the Middle East, but there was a lot of bad in the Middle East.

Most vets don't talk about fallujah because a large portion of the "insurgents" were civilians and protestors who defended their homes. If someone invaded America, we too will take up arms and fight them off. If we lose, we are branded as "insurgents" too. It's how it goes.

My dad is a former British Royal Marine (he was blown up by 3 IEDs in 2011 in Afghanistan) he served 3 tours in Afghanistan and other places such as Northern Ireland fighting the IRA and such. He also fought in the Iraq War and all he has said to me about it was that it was all a load of shit in his opinion it was a way for NATO to look like they were fighting the war on terror when they weren’t at that point in time. I recently told him that I also want to join the Royal Marines as an officer at 18 (like he did. I am at the moment 15) when I told him he walked out of the room and I could hear him crying. I asked him why he was crying and he said “I don’t want my only son to go and serve and potentially get injured like I was or killed (the IEDs caused him to lose a lung and he still has shrapnel in his body to this day) I don’t ever want you to know what it feels like to watch people you think of as family die” he was in command of 120 Royal Marines in Afghanistan all of whom he thought of as brothers and he had to burn some of their dead bodies so that the taliban wouldn’t use them as trophies. I will always remember one thing he said to me about getting blown up which is “I came to terms with dying in a trench in Afghanistan, not seeing my kids grow up or finish school or get married.”

During my second time going back to Afghanistan for contracting work I had two guys who were in the push to Iraq. One was a Marine and other Army (he was also in during the surge). Both told me how chaotic it was along with the number of friends they had were KIA. The Marine told me how stupid and chaotic things happened while he was there. If there was one thing I learned about the Marine, he was with the 2/2 Warlords. As for the Army guy? He served next to the Marine's unit in Iraq and he too had quite the stories he shared with me. Both guys were awesome to work with and talk to.
Other Marines and Army combat veterans I met and talked to were in during surge in Iraq or the push to Marja (Afghanistan).

Fallujah 1 and 2. My Dad was in the Corps from 1995-1999. He was offered a promotion to sergeant if he stayed for one more term. If he did, he’d be in 1999-2003 (or 2000-2004 I don’t know for certain). Either way, he was in the First Marine Division and it’s kinda unsettling for me to think about what would’ve happened if he accepted the promotion. He instead left, married my Mom, and they’re still together today. I was born in 2001 and my parents adopted me. The idea of Dad likely going to Afghanistan and Iraq, because of his next term encompassing the two years where those wars began, is genuinely terrifying to me. Life could’ve been completely different for him and our entire family. I asked him his thoughts about the promotion and how it would likely end up with him going to war. He says it unnerves him as well and is glad he left and married my Mom. I’m posting this to show that veterans of all branches have priorities as well, regardless of whether they have family. Some choose to stay in and serve, others choose to leave. If my Dad didn’t leave, I likely wouldn’t have the same parents as I have now. Thankful for all who’ve served in their nation’s militaries, because despite everyone having different experiences, at the end of the day, we are all human beings and sometimes we can’t truthfully know where our next decision will lead us towards in the next day, week, month, or year. In Dad’s case, it’d likely send him to war.

Hey son of a Fallujah vet. I just wanted to say something after reading some of these comments and share my side of things. My father was 17 when he was deployed to Fallujah as a sniper. He never opened up to me about anything that happened there. And this is a man who told me he shot dead corpses for fun. Once I finally signed my contract he got really drunk on night and finally opened up. He said they use to make civilians run into the middle of fields and shoot them in cold blood in order to draw American forces into the open to save lives. they would switch point man every single day. he said every time he kicked a door down he would scream in fear after seeing his best friend killed by a machine gun nest inside of a small room. (PKM) People now and days dont understand the things that happened there. hell even I don't nore does HICOM. Only the men who kicked down those doors praying and hoping to see there family. Respect to our veterans especially those who served during the peak of the war. I salute you and wish you the best of luck fighting the demons that you gained in that hell hole.

I met a SSgt back in 2019 when I was in the school house who was in Fallujah. Fallujah was fucked, the enemy headquarters if im not mistaken was in a mosque. Or whatever their churches are called. So they couldnt be bombed, even though the city had been cleared of civilians there were still some civilians left in the city. The diddy for Fallujah is "House to house, street to street" because they went through the city, that way. Clearing houses and streets, those houses would be marked reminding the troops which houses were cleared. Only thing is, it was common for the enemy to retake cleared houses. So even though they were previously cleared it was never safe and always had a possibility of flanks. The SSgt told us a story of his group getting attacked while clearing a house, I cant remember exact details. But I know he mentioned a buddy dieing and him taking shrapnel along with more wounded. He was kinda fucked up still, physically due to surgery and trauma. He developed a stutter, oddly the most common injury ive seen from prior combat marines. This is all from memory so I recommend doing your own research I couldve missed some details

There is absolutely nothing glorious about being a soldier

There is only misery, fear and PTSD

@MellowJelly

yes and no, some of them actually achieve miraculous things, save children, have amazing stories to tell when they come home. you're right there is always ptsd, sorrow, fear, loss in those soldiers lives. but sometimes there are good times and good stories too, things that restored their faith in humanity. it's rare but it happens. many soldiers enlist because it's a strong sense of duty and reward that they receive.

@1173mrwan

@MellowJelly no good ever came from iraqis war.. hell no good ever came from any war US has started

@valletas

@MellowJelly you bring up a good point but theres so many more stories of soldiers commiting the most horrorble stuff the human mind can think... War is so fucked up but there are a minority who can do good even in the worse of situations

“The fierce fighting at Fallujah attested to the stalwart nature of the American soldier. In The Iliad a warrior in the front ranks turned to his companion and said, “Let us win glory for ourselves, or yield it to others.” For Greek warriors, there was no true glory if they were not remembered afterward in poem or in song. There will be no true glory for our soldiers in Iraq until they are recognized not as victims, but as aggressive warriors. Stories of their bravery deserved to be recorded and read by the next generation. Unsung, the noblest deed will die.”

Lets all take a moment to appreciate not only American soldiers, but to all soldiers willing to die for their country. These are our warriors we send out when diplomacy fails. To bleed and fight and die for every inch of ground we gain or lose. Let us all remember them as fierce, unrelenting warriors. Because that's exactly what they were and forever will be.

@spencermadsen8752

Too bad they will never be remembered this way. When you fabricate a casus belli to invade a country for no reason other than to create an ally for another country, bomb it to hell, and then leave your either a perpatrator or a victim. I promise you this, nobody would have fucking went over there if they knew that Bush was lying.

@DaSSal The other countries involved with the illegal invasion of Iraq followed what the US told them to do, remember what happened in the US when France refused and voted against the invasion of Iraq

@asdfasdf-dd9lk

@chadsworth gigafuck I don't think he was blaming the soldiers for the administration, but let's not mince words here: people can respect the bravery and courage of those on the ground, while acknowledging that the cause for their fighting is unjust.

One can even make the argument that those who fought in the Iraqi government were brave and courageous (because frankly speaking, you must be to fight the greatest military power in the world whilst utterly outmatched in equipment, doctrine, and industry), and I'm sure most believe(d) that what they were fighting for was for their countries independence and freedom from foreign aggression (which was not entirely unfounded), despite the fact that the true motivation of the Ba'ath party in charge being propagating their shitty ideology, and selfish profit.

To portray the actions of American and British soldiers in Iraq as uniquely heroic is strange, in the sense that most soldiers view the cause that they fight for as just (whether or not it actually is), and most have their deeds unsung.

@SpaceShiba57 Oh don't get me wrong the C model still sucks and the A-10 is a horrible plane, there's a reason the Air Force keeps trying to get rid of it regardless of who's in charge.

It's just that it used to be a lot worse.

@Michael Soland aren’t they switching it in trade for the f35

@michaelsoland3293

@SpaceShiba57 so operationally they’ve pretty much been using the B1, F15, F16, hell even the F22 and now the F35. But yea the F-35 can also do CAS like pretty much every other plane in the Air Force’s arsenal that can have bombs strapped to it so it’s also replacing it.

The added battle effect is a emotional rollercoaster, the A10 scares the shit out of me. But I always giggle a little when I hear the troops cheer.

If you were in this war and you're reading this. Thank you.

My cousin U.S.M.C. (SSGT. Alex Ramon Jimenez) was one of the casualties during a battle( I do not recall which battle this was ) and the way he died was via an ambush that insurgents had pulled, saddest part was that he was 3 months from my younger sisters birth and that was his morale to continue fighting. I remember him telling me and family that he had been grazed by a bullet on his left thigh, he had also been shot in the lower torso but miraculously it did not hit any organs and had just stuck in his body, he was a incredible person, and hearing the that he had died may have been one of the few times I cried uncontrollably and prayed for his departure to be in heaven.

I love the image of California Dreamin' by The Mama's & the Papa's playing over a recent-past middle east war zone. There's something poetic about modern day American young men--just old enough to enlist--fighting in Bush's war on terrorism while a Vietnam era and deeply American song plays in the background almost drowned out by the terror happening on screen.

Never clicked on one of these videos before but I finally did. It's almost surreal and brings up a lot of mixed feelings...

I wasn't expecting to have a reaction like this from what I thought was going to be some kind of meme video.
