RAMBO

Am I to believe in this hellish war
I think not but I'm a loyal soldier
I will crush the enemy at his game
I and I alone will prevail in this

When it's over I'll be victorious
America will be safe once again
But wait, some American citizens 
Say it's a war that we should not be in

The American fightin' man says no
Our freedom must be upheld at all cost
If we fail to conquer the enemy 
America's freedom will soon be lost

Vietnam Veterans treated with shame
Walk VA halls but should not bare the blame

Such a tragic outcome for brave men. Not a proud moment in history. A worthy tribute, Curtis.

The military should not bare the blame for the sacrifices they make.
