  @Suave;

  By supplanting one group for another (e.g. 'suspected terrorists', for 'gingers') we're forced to consider the way a group is treated in a more objective way. Our prejudices and impressions, born of familiarity, are potentially challenged.

  I don't think it's meant to be taken literally. I think it's probably designed to make people think and consider 'what if'.

  While the gore is a little over-the-top, and the vilification of Army is extreme - I think it challenges its audience in a worthwhile manner. It's not attempting to be superficial, and I think that's rare in a music video. I like it a lot.
