Rude Awakening

History repeats itself if forgotten'
Another generation fighting for nation
A patriotic duty, a moral obligation
To serve your country in honor and glory
In foresight, done what thought was right
In hindsight, chosen not to fight
'All you have to fear is fear itself'
A fear of the unknown and nothing else
Destination: conflict, whereabouts unknown
Casualties of terror, injustice, and horror
A rude awakening
'A permanent solution to a temporary problem'
Another generation dying for nation
War's end
Disillusion
Revolution against the institution
'Glorious and free'
Am I at home or with the enemy
