Don’t Blame the Soldier
Itdid not turn out well.
Inspite of our might and the fact we were right
Thewhole thing went straight to hell.
Butdon’t blame the soldier.
Thesoldiers and sailors and brash leathernecks,
Theairmen and others untold,
Theboldest and bravest our nation could muster
Couldnot change what was to unfold.
So,don’t blame the soldier.
Unreston the campuses, rioting streets
Everynight on the six o’clock news.
Deceitand dissent a convenient excuse for
Ill-twistedpolitical views.
No.don’t blame the soldier.
Letthis be the lesson, and never forget
Ifwe dare task this nation to fight.
Ifthe goal is to win, we must go all in
Andour purpose be noble and right.
Andthe soldier will follow,
Thesoldier will serve without question.
Onthat we depend.
He’llfight for his country
Andthe one who’s beside him
Rightthrough to the cold bitter end.
So,please. Don’t blame the soldier.
