This video, is one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen regardless of the band or whatever. Metallica have truly made themselves one of the best songs and videos of all time. It starts with two American soldiers (marines are they?) travelling through a desert on the back of a vehical when they are ambushed by someone or something. They jump off and asume a defensive position and soon enough the second soldier reveales himself to be wounded, tending to his wounds the other soldier soon enough calls in for extraction…

This is where the second part of the video kicks in, A second patrol of a much heavier squad (3 extra guys are noted, aswell as a Barrett 50 machine gun) they see a car stopped in the desert with a man standing out front, after telling him to move the soldier debunk and begin surrounding the vehical and forcing the man to the ground. A soldier notices a woman dressed in Islamic clothing (sorry is it hajib?) and forces her out of the car, she walks toward another soldier who rapidly tells her to get down and raises his weapon… a confrontation happens and she stands not six feet from the soldier, he lowers his weapon and doesnt fire a round… she walks off and the soldiers help the couple get their car running and even leave, The soldiers look back on their squad leader (The inital marine who performs aid on an injured comrade) with disgust, while the leader looks to the sky living the “day that will never come”.

I like the subtleness to how the message is “revenge isnt good” simple. The guys friend gets injured and possibly dies (its never hinted at) but the soldier never goes and avenges his friend, instead he betrays his orders and helps… not kills furfilling a day that will never come by never killing in cold blood (or anything else you can think of.)
