On the Eve of Camerone - Vera Cruz, April, 1863

So, the regimental adjutant is to command 3rd Company
As we escort three million francs to Puebla?
Leave it to the general to trust such a fortune 
To a band of misfits led by a staff lackey 
Who can’t even shuffle cards, hampered as he is 
By that ridiculous wooden hand.
Well, I just hope the good captain’s prick
Isn’t characterized by splinters.
We’re likely to get a good screwing 
Before we accomplish this mission.
