This song has nothing to do with 9/11 (I can understand why people think it is, because of the reference to September).
The song is actually about Billy Joe Armstrong's Father, whom he lost to Cancer many years ago. The lyrics "like my fathers come to pass seven years has gone so fast wake me up when september ends" are a good example of this. If you have watched VH2's Story Tellers with Green Day, Billy Joe says that this song is about his Father.
I'm not sure why the video is about War, but I guess people can relate to the song more that way.

It's about the young men and women going into the Iraq war and any innocence they had left is gone after seeing death up close. They are in a far away land, they see their friends die, they know what it's like to kill a human being and know that they will never be the same. That is if they come home.
