Soldier (Free verse) by kev_wannabe

Soldiers They sacrifice their life, To protect us Whether they die, or keep their lives, They save the nation from any harm, From the city to the farms, They protect all. They rescue others, Fight for others, Not for fame or fortune, But for dignity. They protect all nations, With its congregations. Brave, strong, fierce, kind Whether men, or women, all in the hopes of peace. With great courage and hope, They fight for our lives, Though they struggle sometimes, and some live some die, They would always try, To fight the evil that lurks this place, To stop the unpeacefulness, They all try. In the end, a good ending or bad, it is still a successful journey, that is, if you made it out alive.

A soldier is always a hero who did 'the right thing', as long as he doesn't start messing up the pretty warpictures by returning mutilated or bothering the homeland with incurable war trauma's. America has not been very kind to his sick Vietnam & Gulf veterans; branding them cowards.
Maybe with your last lines you tried to give it a cynical twist, but you did not succeed.
