Your character tempered to battle display
Enlistment from spiritual beings on high
The question of conflict you chose to comply
Of youth, beauty you considered for naught
Consequence to the war which you...

Many left families, perhaps some, with wife and child.

And proudly showed the pictures of his plane,
A screaming bird emblazoned with the stars

And kissed his baby sister, promising
To bring back toys and treats...
