Music video by 30 Seconds To Mars performing "This Is War"
In the song's music video, the band, US Army fatigues and go into battle. The clip was directed by Edouard Salier, and filmed just outside Los Angeles. Jared Leto told MTV News: "The song is really about conflict, and the album really is about it too: the inevitability of conflict, the blessing of conflict and what we can all learn from it. We've certainly had our fair share of it. So for the 'This Is War' video, we wanted to explore another side of it. So we decided to portray soldiers in conflict."
