    [Verse 1]
    Our little army boy
    Is coming home from B.F.P.O
    We've a bunch of purple flowers
    To decorate a mammy's hero
    Mourning in the aerodrome
    The weather warmer, he is colder
    Four men in uniform
    To carry home my little soldier
    [Chorus]
    (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
    But he didn't have the money for a guitar
    (What could he do? Should have been a politician)
    But he never had a proper education
    (What could he do? Should have been a father)
    But he never even made it to his twenties
    What a waste, army dreamers
    Oh, what a waste of army dreamers
    [Verse 2]
    Tears over a tin box
    Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
    Like a chicken with a fox
    He couldn't win the war with ego
    Give the kid the pick of pips
    And give him all your stripes and ribbons
    Now he's sitting in his hole
    He might as well have buttons and bows
    [Chorus]
    (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
    But he didn't have the money for a guitar
    (What could he do? Should have been a politician)
    But he never had a proper education
    (What could he do? Should have been a father)
    But he never even made it to his twenties
    What a waste, army dreamers
    Oh, what a waste of army dreamers
    Oh, what a waste of all them army dreamers
    Army dreamers, army dreamers

      There was also the fact that war was seen as something amazing to take part in
      "Fight for your country"
      "Honor your family"
      Children were always encouraged to join the army..
      There is a poem "Dulce et decorum est"
      That talks about it
      They were never warned of the horrors of war..only encouraged to lay their lives down..Glorification of war..

      The great war was a concept of wonder. Reports did it no justice, but there were actually too many people volunteering (for Britain at least, and in the beginning). It became a spectacle, with soldiers talking of the excitement of war and encouraging others to join in. But then it turned, war advanced, and soldiers were taken down. WW2 was when the true turn happened, ptsd wasn't as prevalent in the first. But we quickly had a name for it during the second. The second was no spectacle, it was brutal, one that had no surplus of volunteers, and one that many injured themselves to avoid.

    ‘My son lost his face
    Not by losing a race
    Not by telling a lie
    Why did he fight?’
    Sinistrous trenches will never lead the right way
    Sun had choked with the beast’s fumes before it rose
    Metal hail is hungry for flesh, ready to suppress the beating
    Which in my ears is louder than commander’s orders
    Like commandments rehashed, heads will doze
    Bodies will keep the mantra of motion, competing
    With their creator, who temporarily ignores dismay
    ‘My son lost his face
    Not by losing a race
    Not by telling a lie
    Why did he fight?’
    To have spat acid lungs for me seems a stroke of luck
    I just looked out once to see my lucky star soaring
    Only to see it plunge, as if it was telling me to duck
    In vain - cheekbones opened in warm wet welcoming
    Steel kissed my eyes promising a mask worthy the opera
    It’s better to lose one’s face than give up honour, is it?
    Since when is slaughter honourable and proper?
    ‘My son lost his face
    Not by losing a race
    Not by telling a lie
    Why did he fight?’

    As a teenager, I had this thought. That I wished that armies weren't necessary. That they didn't exist. I said this to someone who was an EMT, who went to work with the military. I understand better why he didn't like that sentiment. A halfbaked, incomplete thought from a kid. Not even from their country. Who is very privileged.
    As an adult, I still feel that way, though. I wish that armies and the military were not necessary. That no one had to take up arms to protect the lives of innocents from people who want to do harm. That no one had to make friendships so strong that you'd die for each other, only for that to actually happen because of the occupation. That no one had to come home feeling disconnected from the people around them because still carry around all that horror from being deployed. I can better form the thought now. And at the end of it, remember to thank those people for taking on the things that break so many, keeping millions of people like me from having to go through it.
    I wish I could apologize to that person.

    The lyrics “What a waste, army dreamers.” Remind me of him, his dream was this, he thrived for this and struggled many rough years, but what he got was death, he died on the battle field, I find myself visiting this song and even though it was created a few months ago, I think it’s relatable for me.

    This hit hard because deep down inside I kinda want to join law enforcement , I didn’t tell anyone. My parents want me to be a doctor or a lawyer, father says lawyer, my mother says doctor bc I’m good at bio and an excellent debater or so they say. I think both medicine and law are fun but I’m indecisive and don’t know what career path to pick. I’m seventeen and next year will be my last high school year. What sparked this sudden urge to join law enforcement was this game I got as a gift a week or two ago. My father gifted me the latest RE4 remake since I was doing well on my exams. The game is really fun, I have a weak heart but I personally felt a shift in myself. Like I’m not as frightened by things as I was before. I’m so indecisive a few months ago I wanted to be an astronaut. I don’t know what I want to be when I’m of age. Honestly everything seems so fun to do.

      I may not be someone that knows the insides of the military and how they operate. But I'm pretty sure they have people that would manage reports and logistics. After all, an army can't sustain itself and it has to have someone plot out supply line routes and whatnot. Furthermore, if you're someone that can speak multiple language I'm sure it'd be great to have you as a radio operator to intercept any comms and gather intel.
