I'm busy
I've been guided by the powers to be,
the blinders are on so I can not see.
Missioned to be accomplished in the end,
weaponized with bullets and missiles to send.
A pawn I am, used to be sent blindly ahead,
one of the numbers that ends up dead.
Collared and crossed they mission tried,
went in speaking their heavenly lies.
Thinking faith would help them survive,
got themselves burned and buried alive.
Excused and armed we revenge their day,
kneel before us, they for life will pray.
I've been guided and set now free,
on a mission for the powers to be.

Powerless to fight and give one's life for a fight one did not pick or a leader one did not elect. Pawn in a king's game. Good write
In this, many of your other ‘brain dumps’ (maybe all – I haven’t managed to read the entirety) plus your public profile you show an awareness of your own situation and mind set which should be a model for everyone, in the military or out.
There are too few of you around.
