We can see this by reading the lines "your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right". This shows that in the army you are to kill people, but it doens't seem right, because an average person doens't just kill a man so simply. This is about the U.S. Army trying to get you to join the army to be the "Hero", making you feel special, but once you get there, "no one gives a damn", meaning that you are just a piece in a death machine, easliy broken and replacable.
This song is an Anti-War song.
