War clowns in victim hats
Those who have seen too many action movies
Those who hope to get someone to pay for their college education
The volunteer and the draftee - History will split the difference with sympathy
Ordinary people trying to live their lives in combat zones
The old lady killed while picking vegetables
The guests blown up while attending a wedding
The legacy of war crimes is labelled - They are the wrong identity to claim legal redress
Soldiers trained and soldiers drained
Made to kill when the on switch is flipped
Broken humanity and narrowed associations
A future civilian has incurred permanent damage
A kingdom of McDonald's that kills for petrol and other kinds of theft
That hopes to make its military more about irreplaceable machines than disposable people
They gave him a medal even though he was more of a victim than a hero
Although not as much of a victim as those they kill in the name of something that in retrospect seemed so small
