i d'nt want my teen age queen.
Just give my rifle M.sixteen.
If i die in a battle zone.
Box me up and send me home.
Put my badges on my chest.
Tell my MoM i did my best.
Say may nation not to cry.
I'M A SOLDER BORN TO DIE.

No, and not all of us die in combat. That life is hard, no matter what nation you are in. And I did like that poem, heard it in the 70's.

metallica said it best:
you will do
what i say
when i say
back to the front!
you will die
when i say
you must die
back to the front!
you coward
you servant
you blind man
BACK TO THE FRONT!

@DragonMaster7719:

A very famous quote: 'No basterd has ever won the war by dying for his country but to make other poor dumb basterd to die for his country...'
U fight to win not to lose or die...

@lace36: i happen to love old metallica ;)

@DragonMaster7719: im glad u said old mettalica me too

One more i'd like to add for u specially gentelman, im sure u'll agree... War is started by the DIPLOMATS but the person who dies in it is a common soldier... No matter its in 1962 sino-india, Indo-pak in Kargil, or US-Iraq in 2003.. Haha sad fact..

@Hotex3:

@Hotex3: the way i see it.... why would i fight and die for a government that only cares about money and uses freedom and liberty as a guise to reach its own ends? it doesnt care how many die nor does it care about freedom. its taken away most of our freedom anyway and will not stop until it has total control. it uses drug money to fund secret wars around the world and distributes these poisons and some epidemics to its people. if i was to speak out against it, i would be discredited, possibly even killed. (cough chaney cough) the media is controled by it and only tells us what it wants us to know (or believe). im no conspiracy nut... but im perceptive and i dont like what this country stands for anymore, cause it definitely isnt freedom and justice. the more money you have, the more influence you gain. it also gives money to countries that would see us all burn and plants its military bases in any soil they choose. ahhh america.... land of opportunity.... if you have enough money. "you can do it your own way, if its done just how i say"
