At Least Four Marines Too Many
What have we done?
What have we said?
What’s left to do?
When dead means DEAD.
Where do they go?
Where can they be?
Living a life in peace where free means free.
Humanity has failed the Afghans and yet
The power of the west sits on the hands of intent.
Demons hover over their shoulders
Demons with the sharpest of knives.
If we don’t let our soldiers do what they can do, we may never, ever lose this regret no matter how we sell each other the lies.
