You and I are not at war,
they take others into the ranks.
They send them into battle,
THEY perform the real service.

We hide from the draft office,
or maybe we came for an appointment —
they order the young to die,
to grow stronger in the breach.

Inexperienced, but agile,
better on the front line.
The front in the rear is also important,
if not yours and not theirs, then mine.
