Rise Against – Hero of War Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is a very poor representation of the wars, sadly, it makes soldiers sound like brutal, horrible people, when really its not all like that. So it may be his stance, but, he really needs to learn more about that war if he thinks that's all that is going on.
Does it come down to kicking in doors and shooting people? Sadly, yes, I don't like to do that, I don't really LIKE to shoot anybody.
There's no way to actually sugar coat this, and I'm not as horrible of a person as this makes me sound, but, war is war, it's sad that it comes to that, no one WANTS it to, sometimes, it just has to. One thing a lot of people (I'm not saying you as I don't know), seem to forget that this is a war like none other. We aren't fighting a uniformed Armed Forces, we are fighting a bunch of cowards who hide in with civilians. We of course have rules to try to help us tell the difference between innocent civilian and insurgent.
I was hoping, you could point out where he is talking about the pride in their country? I'm not knocking you, or saying your wrong, but, if I am missing this, I'd like to know where it is. I'm trying to figure out what exactly he is saying.
Thank you!
