Protect and Serve?

Unprovoked attacks Death screams from the hearts of the innocent A child's last breath Lies in your arms Raise your weapon For the sickness f****ing your mind Protect and serve? F*** that, let's massacre them all Let's burn and pillage This family's home and make them watch Piss in this man's hands And spit at his feet Let bullets rain on his chest So his children see Protect and serve? Intimidate and rape They fear your "help" And comply with tears in their eyes And a gun to their temple Dirt on their knees, in a pool of their father's blood Protect and serve? I think not. *About a news report I recently saw, about U.S. soldiers killing innocent civilians for sport. (This has been going on since there has ever been wars, it's not a new issue.) They blamed it on being in a drug-induced state of mind, and on seeing disturbing images of warfare. We debated in my class whether or not this type of murder can be justified. I argued strongly and loudly that NO traumatization or drugged mind is a just reason to murder and torture innocent people. The U.S. military is here to PROTECT and SERVE all people. Does this sound like protection to you?
