Not sure on the book, but in the movie at least the soldier who runs away in the reconnaissance mission before the attack and 'mutiny' as you put it is put in charge of the firing squad. Thats where I think the line comes from you make me kill my own kind. The song takes a similar stance to one of the songs by The Books in my opinion, which mentions a phrase said by Muhatma Ghandi about non-participation in anything you don't belive is right, going back to these men squirting out red and turning yellow, a color often in the period of the filming of the movie referring to cowardice. More so Mike Patton saying cynically people are so stubborn when they can't solve a problem or come to a compromise with someone they kill them to make their time on earth easier.
