This one really hits me. I was a grunt for 13 yrs. The guilt the grunt expresses towards the end of the song, matching with what Geoff sings through out the song, is just perfect. "A fool is left to live while the brave ones fall." That and so many other lyrics in the song are just so fitting. A perfect way to say "Thank you for serving". (Which I hate to hear. Don't thank me. Go serve!) The music is as always complex with many levels that all the nuances will not appear till after numerous hearings.
