they are dumb fuck stupid and it serves them right
assholes fuckin fuckin assholes.
in dry season it gets so hot you cannot see straight
everything shimmers as the living heat sucks the life
right out of you. so the platoon, new to the area goes
out QRF weapons, ammo, one quart each gets lost
in the sun bleached jungle gets heat stroked gets
found and choppered back to Compton.
in the aid station capt neel takes charge pig face
stink breath capt tells medics slit clothes slap tape
on the Ringers lactate toss the sun baked uniforms
into the cooler churn the ice churn it
we slap the cold cloth back the bodies
shiver shake to life, fuckin amazing.
next day we get hit-mortars-rockets capt neel
stone fuck drunk so later we frag his ass 
frag him can't walk, can't help the wounded
but we missed he lived that stopped that
but it didn't stop the war and the casualties
the dumb fuck casualties they just kept coming
