It helps to get the lyrics right: Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign?

I will agree it is very much about soldiers: I was fighting for a reason Holy blessed homicide Seems I have committed treason All I've sacrificed

Ask any Vietnam veteran, or any soldier coming back from Iraq now. They left, lauded as heroes. They return, and have people spitting on them insulting them. What must that feel like, to fight for your country, only to have your countrymen turn on you when you return?

@traviswrdunbar It is sad when the war becomes unpopular and despised back home (and it well may not have been justified) and you come home a villain rather than a hero, assuming you come home at all.
