Soldiers serve nothing. Definitely not the countries for which they defend. No matter who cheers for them.
It’s To the whims of oligarchs they’re beholden. In this case The red, white and blue business men. That just point and send.
Ignorant young people, To parts unknown. Just to fight for gems. Whether they be solid or liquid.
It never fucking mattered. Because The value was never for them to spend. They signed up for vengeance anyway.
Not knowing the fight they enlisted for would mean their youths spent. And that’s If they were lucky. Against A people that measure conflicts by the decade.
In a war the enemy would never let end. Because better they should all die, then fucking bend. And as for peace treaties.
They remember all to well our Native Indians. That our words of honor are to easily bent. And tell them where to shove their fucking pen.
You can’t negotiate with people who’s beliefs are absolute. Nor can you fight an enemy whose cause is constantly embolden. When just about every soldier has those who descend.
Multiple sons that take up arms every time a father meets his death. two or three new jihadist the enemy would invent. Handed a cause and a gun.
rather then a smartphone. And taught from childhood. to never fucking relent.
Because they’re at the whims of their own oligarchs. Which tell them to defend. Territory or the faith, it matters not.
A soldiers autonomy is the first thing those in control will rend.
