I call this one...All signed up for the line of fire

As they sign up for the line of fire
They accept the inevitability that their life will soon expire
Our friends, our brothers, our sisters, mothers and our fathers too
They are fighting an unwanted fight, don't act like it doesn't bother you
The letters from war are read soaked in tears
As our loved ones are across the seas living out our fears
Our Commander and Chief 
Stands by his belief
That what he is doing is right
Sending loved ones to fight
His war on terror
Where there is no room for error
If they slip up, they could die
If they slip up, we will cry
As we sit and wait
For strangers to decide their fait
Will they die or will they live
Giving all they have to give
So on with our lives we go
Keeping you in our thoughts and in our hearts, while you are over being heroes.
