in my humble opinion it is about war veterans. A vast majority are coming back with mental scars and very disillusioned with the government, and the concept of the rich man's war breaking the poor man's back. Recruiters "seduce" the young and glorify the idea of war, but almost always ends the same way.(Distortion sufficient?) (Even now they still create me) People are still being sent over to fight (Post traumatic war machines...Pessimist still dont believe) This could certainly have a double meaning, but I think that alot of the trauma of returning is trying to tell people what its like and they have no clue as to what you mean. You cannot understand the hell that combat is unless you lived it. And alot of "pessimists" just dismiss post traumatic disorder as BS. Which unfortunately as we've seen in Vietnam vets, can cause suicide and homicide among many other issues (My ghost have found their way back home, I have every right to kill my own) well that is just my 5 dollar spin on it. |
