He was nineteen
When he landed at Bagram
Scared and all alone
He lost a leg and a girlfriend
Before he got home

They say all is fair in love and war
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

Having nightmares
And he's running scared
Far from home
And he wakes up
From a nightmare
He's in another one
He's still not home

They call 'em decorated heroes
And pin some medals on their chest
Give 'em a tiny little pension
Could we do much less

They say all is fair in love and war
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

They say all is fair in love and war
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

They say all is fair in love and war
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
But forget about you when you don't

No, he is not. However - he is a big Obama supporter. In_The_Wind Nov 2017 #3
