Rise Against - Hero of War
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight
A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again
A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away
The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow
A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
thank you... r.i.p hero's of war

By linesmasher888 [Affiliate User] 1228621234 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeas if life isn't suffering with us, the new occupants, the new oppressors, lingering over there? the consequence of pulling out will most likely by all out civil war between rival islamic radical factions, sunnis, shiites, the whole lot. many more will die. but if we stay, the US wastes more time, money, and lives, many more iraqis die as well. it's a lose lose situation. there is no upside to staying. so you pick.

By AndrewHiscock [Affiliate User] 1225771122 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou added to my point. Before you judge someones choice, you have better had walked in their shoes. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut about their decisions. It may not be the decision you would make but that's your choice. Thanks 3inchrazor.
