Cover art for Disposable Heroes lyrics by Metallica

This song is about how war is glorified when, in reality, every soldier is a hero. And war isn't as 'cool' or glamorous as some people make it out to be.

ahh, metallica is my faviorte band. i think this song shows people that dieing for your country isnt glamours or fun, but it might be right. i also think it talks of no war in particular because metallica never is specific, but it reminds me of World War I. Especially when he says "Back To The Front!"

i think its refering to vietnam. metallica has been known to reference vietnam, like in One, also the term "soldier boy" was a common name that the vietnamese used for the american soldiers.
