So go curl up in a corner and cry. How come, after CENTURIES of people writing songs like this, there are still wars? Well, alright, for the obvious nationalistic, greedy, power-driven reasons, but...still! Why?
Note: that is some wicked snare drum playing. And I can tell you from experience, snare drum ain't easy. Although I abhor the whole military "RA-RA!" aspect, you have to admit the marching songs are catchy. So history-soaked and nostalgic and 'getting stuff done.' And there is love and hate in the same bundle. Enjoy.
EDIT: Everyone knows that people dying in wars is sad, including me. I'm not trying to be disrespectful or unfeeling. It really, really sucks, and everyone knows. And soldiers going to war are going because of what they believe is right, and honorable, and I truly admire that. I just think that the affect that wars have on human beings is unhealthy and dangerous. I've been reading a lot of articles on Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder recently, and it scares me. Very much. I'll try to explain more later!
