A Soldiers Fate

Bear witness to those dying men Conscripted fate by poison pen The scorched remains of foe and friend Their ashes scattered on the wind Pawns sacrificed without a pause Death descends from steel wings and claws More martyrs of a nation's cause Forged and fired by enacted laws

What was that saying we used when I was in the Army...It's not for us to question why but to only do or die. We must always follow the rules...even those orders given by fools.
