Tom DeLonge wrote "The War" on his own for We Don't Need to Whisper, the 2006 Geffen debut from Angels & Airwaves, and produced it too, with Critter recording, mixing and adding extra production. DeLonge has called it an anti-war song that points straight back to the Normandy invasion of World War II, a widescreen ache built for the end of the night. On the We Don't Need to Whisper tour it was the closer, DeLonge stopping in the bridge to make a speech.
It went to radio as the album's fourth single in October 2006 and reached 19 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 2007. There was no official video, only a live clip and a sci-fi short film in which a man breaks loose from a hospital bed and flees the soldiers until a cliff edge stops him.
