This song could also have a deeper meaning (Obviously). Some bring up the fact that he was not in the war, thus how could he tell a tale about it...
But what if Ronnie is telling a story about "what could have been."
When we meet people, we judge them immediately, whether it be subconsciously or not.
"And I began to realize this person I despised
In actuality, was not much different from myself
We probably could have taught each other many things"
I feel this way about many of the people I interact with. If you approach someone with an open mind, there wouldn't be so much hatred between one another.
"And now I know it's much too late
Although I couldn't hesitate
I checked his gun
And his chamber was empty"
Usually it's too late for us to go back and change what we have done. Ok, so nobody died as a result of our actions, but this is an exaggerated example of "killing" a friendship or an opportunity that may have been.
--But that's just my interpretation of the song... You may have another. And that's the beauty of all lyrics.
