#1 "Oh I'm going to Vietnam
gonna kill some Charlie Cong"

"I'll be gone for many a day.
I'll be back to you someday."

No one apologized in 1969.

#2 Cpl Belile does not owe anyone an apology. That was classic gallows humor - an essential ingredient to maintain sanity, especially when every "civilian" may be a killer.

Those that did not read the lyrics, the provided by ed in yesterday's original thread, and understand the context should do so. I have the .FLV file, the good one from LGF, and it is right on the money. He ridiculed the cowards who hide behind women and children - and the two daughters were killed by their own father and brother.

The Pentagon can kiss my hairy ass, fucking JAG Drama Queens, right after the asshat terrorists who lead CAIR.

Cpl Belile is my newest buddy. The JAG assholes better leave him alone, they and the cowardly fuckwits in the command structure (ring-knocking turds) have done enough damage to morale and espirit de corps, thank you very much.

This ain't no way to win a war. However, it is a excellent way to get grunts to say "fuck it" and not reenlist.

#6 FUCK YOU CAIR, YOU FILTHY DISHONEST COWARDS.

Cpl B should call up Ted Nugent, he'd release the song - good gallows humor, and somewhat clever.

We made up more direct diddies than this when I was there.

Some brass prolly got their thongs in a bunch when they saw it on the net and he was in uniform - f*cking pussies. I'd love just once to hear some general say, "ya know what, get over it folks, were talkin' about a young man blowing off steam. He ain't apologizin' for nuthin' and neither are we now go pound sand, we got bigger concerns, like a war to win."

When in doubt we need to ask ourselves.........what would Chesty do?
