To Those Nobly Defending Our Faraway Homeland

have you confused honor with blindly following inane orders from uninvested, faraway politicos?
did you give up your duty to critical thought to unquestioningly follow any and all orders?

whose lives have you seen get better despite your expensive and lonely efforts?
did we thoughtlessly just go to the mall as you uncritically destroyed societies to keep us safe?

wake up brave defender of my freedom, things are not getting better – either here or there
sorry but your comrades sacrifices actually are in vain given the corruptness of the host countries

you’re not to blame for going or for ‘losing’ but – it is your decision to deploy and…re-deploy
greedy subcontractors are growing rich doing nothing – while enjoying your protection

the rest of the world did not support you then and still they sadly shake their heads
why should you take an IED for the televised political speech bravery of our artificial leaders?

guess what, the Hajis really do hate you and want to see you dead or gone
just because you volunteered, did they also make you check your brain at Paris Island?

how’s it feel to be a web-based pawn in the war games they play – From inside The Clean and Safe?
following their faith-based orders for duty, honor and country has brought shame upon us all

you may choose to die for their fantasy but please don’t think you’re doing it for me
hey, can you fight harder for other’s rights and freedom by giving up all of your own?

yo, boots on the ground - are you just mindless puppets who simply take any and all orders?
quit being tools in their foolish blunders until they send their own kids

bring back your Guard helicopters for all the disasters here at home
look, you’re getting vile pity instead of honor for their wanton and wasteful sacrifice

you can’t have any kind of wining tactics because they have no real objective
they can’t simply let it fall or go all in to win so they just leave your tough asses hangin out

even seeing eye dogs have to disobey orders which are a danger to their owners
do you think the little kids will ask you if you were there when they saved the Middle East?

you’ll share a lot of alienated isolation with those who were wasted since long ago in ‘Nam
mealy-mouthed politicians are profiting from your hardships to get themselves elected

they used your sense of duty and honor to waste your lives on their personal savior’s fool mission
if you really want to do nation building, come on home - we need all the help we can get

like even they said - there ain’t gonna be no parades and no surrender ceremony
but you may well be left to nightmares, phantom pain and a lonely and alienated depression
