Brave Soldiers
Brave Soldiers
We all like soldiers, if not brutal enemy soldiers, only ours,
they defend our country keep it safe even if they fight wars
little to do with defends but more to do with securing oil
fields and other minerals. Everyone in politics like soldiers
even if they don´t know any since soldiers are usually from
poor and deprived background. TV reporters too get misty
eyed when talking about our incredible brave boys.
Some soldiers behave badly, shooting wounded men, as in
Fallujah, and peeing on corpses of people they have shot;
and some leave the camp at night, go out and civilians, for
the pleasure of it. On the whole soldiers are nice people who
believe lies they are told by superiors. Problems start when
soldiers are demobbed-finding a job, and missing the intense
*****erotic camaraderie makes them dysfunctional in normal
family settings. Divorce, and alcohol do the rest, end up sleeping
under bridges. Yes, our soldiers are brave and a bit dense, can´t
hack it in civilian life and some end up shooting themselves.
