The song does seem to be about soldiers but it's really a metaphor about Megadeth's standing in the music business. About how they've fought to get where they are and how they will keep on fighting, and how even if they fall, they will still be remembered.
The only part I don't really understand is:
"
My legion's when we do the crime
Let's get one thing straight
To get there early is on time
And showing up on time is late
"
I totally can't get what that's about, even though it sounds pretty cool.
