to someone who doesnt understand

what if it were me, going off to war? would you be so calm? would you cry? or would you just sit there? and not think i might die? would you feel anything at all- or is the fact that i am half a world away scared tired and pointing a gun at someone not so different from me- just fighting for what they believe in- not enough to phase you? what would you do? what if it were me? now do you understand?
