I’m going to make my country proud,
and my father too.
I’m gonna’ go to war,
and it’s no chore…
not at all, in fact!
This is what I was meant for.
My calling.
My commission.
My heart’s beating desire.
The traditional life wasn’t quite right,
but I know that this is!
This life gives me the structure,
and adventure that I’ve needed all along.
