When I was growing up, from about 6 years old, I knew I wanted to join the Military. When I turned 18 in 2006, I had all the war mongering built up inside of me from the years past and I was more dedicated to joining the Military now than ever. I figure go big or go home, so I enlist as Infantry with Airborne school in my contract and $14,000 bonus, at the time i was like "Fuck yeah!". 82nd Airborne here I come, parachute infantry.
Fast forward 1 year, in the middle of a 15 month deployment in Baghdad near Sadr City. Indescribable in its own right. I am not proud of the service I have done, this wasn't for the "Liberty" of our country.
To me, this song is about those years of my life, 2007-2008, in contrast to 2011 and on where I am no longer a pawn of this corrupt nation. It makes me think about my friends who share similar view points on the subject. Oh youth, how naive we can be.
