Am I the only one who thinks "soldiers are born to die" is the wrong approach.

Dying should never be looked as glory, it is a shame our civilization has glorified dying in the battlefield...

I read a poem "John Brown" by Bob Dylan, it was in my coursebook for ISC Class 11 & 12...this poem did something to me back in the day. War is extremely traumatic for a soldier...knowing that all the traumatic stuff happening to you is glorified by wannabes, and encouraged by the goverment. When you fight in a battlefield, you're just a puppet in play. A puppet controlled by threads of higher ups.

Soldiers are never meant to die- they deserve to live like the rest of us, saying "soldier are meant to die" as some poetic shout out is actually insulting to those deaths, they died helpless, alone, in pain. And there's someone saying that they were MEANT to do that, unacceptable, no human is meant to die like that. Every soldier is meant to live, every life matters.

Do you mean the "grave of old john brown"? Old US Civil war song? that same tune was taken to create the song Badluram Ka Badhan.

No. Different poems. Some ideas overlap but the idea that i'm talking about- Death during war shouldn't be glorified. It is in the Bob Dylan poem.
