Fighting Blind

A leader is only as good as those he leads. But an army is only as strong as what they believe. What their willing to die for.

And what they are willing to leave. To fight the enemy abroad. So in peaceful times we may breath.

But there are no righteous causes that drives them to succeed. No more P.O.W.'s to repatriate. Or dictators to supersede.

Only back ally deals to make. And soldiers deaths to grieve. For they kill on command. Not for the freedoms in which they believed.
