Summary: The song is about soldiers and all of their problems. It talks about how recruits are mislead by recruits and what soldiers really encounter. The song also mentions how the soldiers are perceived by the public.=====

Significance: The song is very insightful to life of the soldier, and not the war itself. This song is different because it is not an anti-war song, it is a pro-soldier song. The soldier has to deal with the stresses of fighting with civilians and the unconventional warfare. He also experiences symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.=====

Connection: This song is extremely relevant to what is going on right now. It starts at the recruitment processes, and the promises made, and go through the experiences of a soldier. What is described in the song happens to people everyday and is a sobering reality.

He said, “Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say, if I said that you could?”
