“Soldier” is a 1972 song, written and performed by British songwriter Harvey Andrews. Controversial at the time of its release, “Soldier” was inspired by the death of British Army Sergeant Michael Willetts, though it does not mention Willetts by name.
Willetts just wanted to get along with people and put in his army time. He wasn’t out to hurt anyone but wanted to help all he could. In the song, he died thinking about home and a life without war. He was just a pawn in an endless game.
If you’re going to be involved in a war, know the where, the why and the what ifs. There is a war worth the fight.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
Give it some thought.
