It's eerie beyond belief. The sex metaphors at the beginning make you think it's going to turn out to be a sort of smartass love song, and then at the end it really begins to seem violent/disturbing... in the best possible way.
Two moments that give me a HUGE emotional impact:
"If you got guns, well, now's the time for sticking
Resistance is already forming
The second shot won't be a warning."
and the whole outro, "when the tanks roll into Warsaw...."
it's almost as if they're using war as a metaphor for love as a metaphor for war. Looping back on itself, lyrically. Great tune.
By the way, a webcomic, Inhuman, set a short segment of their comic to the lyrics of War Buddies. You can see it here:

I think it's a really cool visual representation of the song... you guys like it?
