Question

The Soldier

The Soldier is a selfless being only thinking of others while other mock him. He has no self concern, his only concern is the man beside him. The soldier relys on God to help him through the horror of war or even unto death. The Soldier gives all his courage and hope to everyone around him and he has little for himself. He is of strong outlook but inside he is broken and on his knees before God. The Soldier was once honored but now he is mocked and disgraced.. He faces war,death, and the abandoment of fellow Americans.

Remember the Soldier

Answer 1

"He's the one who must decide

who's to live and who's to die,

And he never sees the writing on the wall.

He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame.

His orders come from far away no more.

They come from here and there and you and me,

and brothers, can't you see---

this is not the way to put the end to war."

i guess what i am trying to say is, i do not believe in what you said in your poem. i believe that if people would stop looking at soldiers as heroes and realize that they have killed, perhaps there would be a bit less war and a bit more love. What people don't realize is that often it takes more courage and honor to lay weapons down than to pick them up.

Answer 2

i like how the message of the poem tells us that we should respect their hard work no matter what :-)
