This song isn't about soldiers to me, because well..uh I was a soldier.
Anyway, when I hear this song I hear two different points. The chorus is about all of the people in this world who are greedy, manipulative, vile, wretched evil deeds. Basically people who cause and amplify the suffering of other life and the planet. The really jammin verse parts, you know the part that people think is about satan or some mythical beast? It is us. It is the ones who are angry by such people. We are the ones who want to end these people. That's the beautiful thing about us, and you know exactly what I'm talking about. The thing is we don't actually go out and start a war use violence against these people. But as Cornell and so many others of our generation have appropriately expressed in song, we sure can be expressive of this anger in its rawest, purest form: music.
We will persevere by our examples of peace, love, serenity, and tranquility. The Rhinosaur is the imagined manifestation of our anger.
