During an interview this is what he said:
FF: You wrote the song No Bravery while stationed in Kosovo – how does it feel to sing this track now you are totally removed from you old life?
James: It does always bring back vivid memories from those times. The song is very descriptive of the sights, sounds and smells that are out there so yeah when I am singing it I definitely find myself in that place again.

Following in the footsteps of generations of male members of his family, James Blunt signed up for the Army after the military helped pay for his university education. He was shipped to Kosovo as part of the NATO peacekeeping force and rose to the rank of Captain. Back home he participated in the ceremonies following the death of the Queen Mother in 2002.
The bulk of Back To Bedlam was produced by Tom Rothrock, known for his production of music by Beck. The final track, "No Bravery," written during Blunt's service in Kosovo, was produced by Linda Perry. The album did not sell well in the U.S., but, in part due to a supporting role on tour with Elton John, it began a slow climb up the U.K. charts.

He was in the army and it's about his experience when fighting and seeing some of his friends scared and dying etc

i think its about his time in kosovo and how it doesnt feel very brave to be terrified out your wits with the only option of killing another human being before he kills u.
does anyone else think that 'Cry' is about him singing to tony blair?

Who knows what the hell that guy is whingeing about
I`d hardly call them powerful.......whinge whinge whinge (ad infinitum)
All his songs seem to have ambiguous lyrics that make no sense.
I just hit the OFF button whenever he pollutes the radio station I`m listening to.
And he`s got a dyslexic surname...............
