As far as point of view, both Tentative and Attack seem to be System placing themselves in the point of view and position of those who they are singing about. In Attack, it's as if System is placing themselves in the seats of those who choose to start wars ("We attack!") And in Tentative, you hear "Where do you expect US to go when the bombs fall?" Someone said it's as if the band is placing themselves in the spot of people in a country the USA is bombing, and that is definitely what I see too.
Honestly, such a simple question could never be answered by those who start these wars: Where do you expect them to go when the bombs fall? ...Where?
