Lyric discussion by Red October 

I can see this both ways, to be honest -the remorse of an individual soldier who has accidentally commited an attrocity, and also as the reflections on a nuclear war that wasn't meant to be -such as the one avoided by a brave Russian soldier whose name I just can't remember -who thought that the computer was in error when it told him there was a nuclear attack. The fact that it can be read both ways just makes it more poigneit.

@Red October The Russian who may have saved us all from nuclear annihilation was Vasili Archipov. Here is his story: trtworld.com/magazine/how-a-russian-soldier-prevented-world-war-iii-59-years-ago-51120
