Yes, there are rhetorical questions in the song "I Was Only 19" by Redgum. Rhetorical questions are used to evoke a response from the listener and create a sense of reflection on the themes of war and its impact on soldiers.

Bias,Rhetorical questions,
People ask weird questions or rhetorical questions because it is fun just to see what the is. Just knowing weird facts gives people more fun in their lives.
Rhetorical questions are questions asked for effect or to make a point, rather than to elicit a direct answer. They are used to engage the audience and stimulate critical thinking or reflection on a topic.
Why not? Rhetorical questions, as their name implies, are a rhetorical device designed to draw the readers in and make them think. Is this not the point of a reflective essay?

They get all shirty when one attempts to answer a question with a rhetorical question, as above.)
