30 Seconds To Mars have released the music video for "This Is War" - one year later after the clip was shot. As with anything 30STM related, the video had an epic feel, with the band portraying U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. Things get a little trippy as the song progresses.

"If we don't end war, war will end us," appears at the beginning, quoting author H.G. Wells.  30 Seconds To Mars are patrolling the Afghan desert when frontman Jared Leto appears to see something off in the distance.

The soldiers get out of their vehicle and all of a sudden tanks, helicopters and other weapons of war start to whirlwind around them.  It kind of reminded me of the Transformers movies.  Watch the video below and judge for yourself.
