No no no. You've got it all wrong. It DOES NOT refer to the American invasion to Irak, how large your ego must be that you found a way to make this song about the United States when the singer is not even North American and there is not an allusion to that war in particular. James Blunt was part of a sort of peace army, he spent time in Kosovo and while he was there wrote this song. It talks not about one war, but all of them. When he says 'and I see no bravery, no bravery, in your eyes any more, only sadness' he means that the soldiers that were at first eager to complete this that they saw as a 'patriotic duty', are now sad and shocked by the awful actions they performed as they come to realise how much pain and destruction they have caused.
I hope you find this useful. Greetings
