This entire album is amazing. This was one of the first commercial digital songs, on dvd. Might be the 1st. If you haven't seen it, watch the HBO mini series Band of Brothers. It's the incredible story, based on fact, of the men at the front of the mission to beat Germany in WWII. It's perfect, everything about it, just like this song.
Although you are in America you will begin to understand the cultural significance of British bands from ages past. From the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Genesis, YES, Jethro Tull, Dire Straits, ELO, The Who, Led Zeppelin, through to the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam and a thousand more honorable mentions, that small island fashioned music that is timeless and brilliant. Not to diminish the music that came out of America which is the birthplace of the blues, Rap, the Beach Boys, Scat, Motown, and many more wonderful genres.
Please stick to the ‘live’ versions with Dire Straits! Watch and listen to how proper bands were, DS were mega talented, they didn’t use all the fake technology there is today, it was pure skill and artistry! There is nothing to match that now and never will be again, so sad….but for now, there’s so much for you to discover down the DS rabbit hole ‘Live’ ❤
Sooooo disappointed you are reacting to this recorded version of BIA. Just because a recording may have higher viewing figures, does not mean it is the best one to ‘watch’. Mark Knopfler himself is no fan of the recorded ‘official’ videos , he feels they do not represent the songs, and for the ‘real’ experience it’s more rewarding to watch the LIVE concert performances which give you additional content & are a lot more atmospheric. Totally agree.

Great reaction now check out the live versions
Song is about the Falkland war.British protecting the citizens.
Mark Knopfler is one of the best songwriters ever, and do you know he also released 10 solo albums after Dire Staits?

-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run')
It was also used on an emotional episode of ‘The West Wing’ to great effect. I❤MK
