The great war was a concept of wonder. Reports did it no justice, but there were actually too many people volunteering (for Britain at least, and in the beginning). It became a spectacle, with soldiers talking of the excitement of war and encouraging others to join in. But then it turned, war advanced, and soldiers were taken down. WW2 was when the true turn happened, ptsd wasn't as prevalent in the first. But we quickly had a name for it during the second. The second was no spectacle, it was brutal, one that had no surplus of volunteers, and one that many injured themselves to avoid.

As a teenager, I had this thought. That I wished that armies weren't necessary. That they didn't exist. I said this to someone who was an EMT, who went to work with the military. I understand better why he didn't like that sentiment. A halfbaked, incomplete thought from a kid. Not even from their country. Who is very privileged. As an adult, I still feel that way, though. I wish that armies and the military were not necessary. That no one had to take up arms to protect the lives of innocents from people who want to do harm. That no one had to make friendships so strong that you'd die for each other, only for that to actually happen because of the occupation. That no one had to come home feeling disconnected from the people around them because still they carry around all that horror from being deployed. I can better form the thought now. And at the end of it, remember to thank those people for taking on the things that break so many, keeping millions of people like me from having to go through it. I wish I could apologize to that person.

This hit hard because deep down inside I kinda want to join law enforcement , I didn’t tell anyone. My parents want me to be a doctor or a lawyer, father says lawyer, my mother says doctor bc I’m good at bio and an excellent debater or so they say. I think both medicine and law are fun but I’m indecisive and don’t know what career path to pick. I’m seventeen and next year will be my last high school year. What sparked this sudden urge to join law enforcement was this game I got as a gift a week or two ago. My father gifted me the latest RE4 remake since I was doing well on my exams. The game is really fun, I have a weak heart but I personally felt a shift in myself. Like I’m not as frightened by things as I was before. I’m so indecisive a few months ago I wanted to be an astronaut. I don’t know what I want to be when I’m of age. Honestly everything seems so fun to do.

I found this song around the same time we started studying the Vietnam War in History at my school. We read a book, which was a collection of short stories, called “The Things They Carried” written by a Vietnam veteran. Listening to this song while reading one of the short stories about a young soldier they lost was unbearable.

Surprising that so many people in the comments instead relate this song to fictional situations than actual wars. Seems like we are way too sheltered that war seems like an intangible concept to us.
@Invel-9677 ай бұрын
I get what you mean, but at the end of the day it is a song so there isn't exactly a limit for its interpretation. (I personally do not like the idea of war, so I am thinking of a fictional scenario because I like that safe distance. Again I do understand the tragedy of war and I do not disregard it, I simply choose not to fully embrace it. )

@@Invel-967 Art can be interpreted in many ways; you'd be correct. But there's somewhat of a moral unspoken rule that if the song is about a political bias, it's to be treated as it's meaning.

Weird considering how the world has never known peace since before 9/11 if even then. But again art can be interpreted in many ways... death of the author and all. But yes looking at this, this is a anti war song lamenting a mother's pain after her son comes home to her not by her door but by casket. But again people can interpret it differently as they wish. As what is art without the ability to interpret things differently
