The tragic irony of the title makes me feel like crying. Sure Beard came home, but it was so short lived. And after all he'd been through in the war. God.
I love the contrast between the Colonel’s take on the war and humanity (“We’re all just goddamn animals.”) and Beard’s innate belief in human goodness (“It’s on the house, kid. You would have done the same for me.”)
I feel like this song just expresses the mission so accurately. Beard and the ghost wolves just want to go home, they're tired of being put through madness, serving for a general who would ultimately cause all of their deaths. You can feel the expression on Beard's face as he grabs a flamethrower and mows through the nuclear power plant. He just wanted to go, go home, leave the chaos.
Although this level was hard as shit this song gave me the feeling of having to complete it no matter what so the boys can go home...shit got me hyped!!!
I loved the beard levels, they were my favorites because they changed the gameplay so much, making you have to change your focus and style significantly.
