20 Years of Questions

by @TheJester

Was it terror, oil, freedom or war what did we kill Osama for? Lives spent in the searing heat, bullets whizbangs and pre packaged meat, far away from home, family wondering when I'll come home. Bodies of men and women the fighters die together under our stars and stripes fighting a war for freedom. No this is an oil war, this is the war on terror, we won't stop til we get em dead or alive. Was it terror, oil, freedom or war, what did we kill Osama for? A half job done causes a whole lot of trouble later, so why waste so many lives on something we just walked away from? Was it worth it? Who paid the price? Was it worth it, Uncle Sam says "Gee, fight the fight and fly Ol' Glory" What was the war for? Pick which reason was worth it only for us to walk away? Blood on the streets is blood on our hands, no heroes, no winners, just bullet casing sands
