2. The jackies are soldiers. They are singing "war chanties" to boost morale within themselves.
3. The shovel is used to dig trenches in World War 1. Trenches played a big role then as it was the only safe place where soldiers could camp and aim and shoot with their rifles, thus, both rifles and shovels were required to be successful in battle.
4) It shows that the soldiers are not at fault for the destruction caused at war. It was the decision of the government that caused the war.
5)The persona wants to show the extent of the damage that war causes and that the damage can last. He also wants to show that war was merciless and the persona had no regard for how the citizens and soldiers felt.
6) Given the advanced technology in weapons nowadays, it is much easier to tear a society down then to build it back up.A building can be demolished with a couple of bombs and the number of lives lost in one day takes muc longer to replenish.
7) This showed that as technology is improving, the ways that war is fought changes. From using horses in the past to using motors now. I imagine that the sound of the future war would be a cyber-warfare with lesser use of manpower and more computers.
8) One example of a "king" that was "kicked under the dust" would be former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. The Egyptian revolution begun on 25 January 2011 as the people of Egypt stood against President Hosni Mubarak’s policies. This escalated to violent clashes between the protesters and security forces. In the end, under pressured Hosni Mubarak resigned on 11 February.
