It's about a fighter. It's multifaceted, and not just anti-war. The fighter has been soldiering for years now. The thoughts in his mind are asking him now whether the cause he's fighting for is worth all it takes from him. Before he began to question himself, the fight brought him a great deal of pride.
But something happened. This experience, whatever it was, has manifested itself in every thought inside the lover's mind. He's done everything he can think of to carry on with the fight like before, but this memory is in the way.
That's just my interpretation, but what the hell do I know?
I like this interpretation..closest possible one I've read...and I agree. it doesn't have to even be about war. its about people in a struggle against something be it a soldier from a war or a teenager fighting for freedom from their parent's control.

you could be right irondal2, but also if you've seen the video, it has a big part in the 21st century breakdown storyline (don't forget the CD is a rock opera) the characters Christian and Gloria are kind of brought to an end in the Climax of the story in the music video. Because after they give up their cause, and what they were fighting for (21 guns) it all turns to Mass Hysteria, and the whole "I don't wanna live in the modern world" Christian believes that all that's good in America has died "American Eulogy"...

I personally believe that the "one" is the person. The person the twenty-one guns are being fired for, the one that died. And if you read several of the comments on this page and piece them together, you'll notice that everything wraps up and fits rather neatly into one little package. I could quote each of the biggest pieces of that puzzle here, but I think it'd have more meaning to piece it together yourself. ;)

well the 21 gun salute is not just for burials, they are used at the ingauration of the president, it is the highest honor that anyone can recieve, besides the medal of honor. I really love your thoughts, the first time i acctually heard the song was sung for the 60th anniversery of the Korean war. It has a beautiful message, that can fit into almost any life. It is not just about how "patriotic" someone is or isn't, but an experience that changed a point of view.
