i think the song pertains to the vietnam war when US soldiers were given orders to annihalate entire viatnamese villages by killing everyone including women and children. they also burned down everything. sadly, the villages were innocent and were full of mainly working class people that had no involvement in the war whatsoever.
the soliders knew that what they were doing was wrong, but were just following orders. maybe that's also the point of the title, top ranking. because the top rank gave the orders for the soliders to commit such horrific crimes.
i think blonde redhead are referencing this huge mistake in history.
i think they are referencing the current war, but there are a large amount of similarities in both wars though... and so it could be a reference to both.

such a sad song though... i really love it, but if i'm feeling sensitive it will have the same tear jerking effect on me that the song "across the universe" happens to have on me.
