I got that letter this morning it was no surprise to me All hands on deck. Boot camp in three weeks. get your ducks lined up. Charlie has a bullet for me.Maybe a bouncing Betty or two. Camp Lejeune. Jar head central. Drop yer ***** and grab yer socks ...Gonna get my mind right for the fight. So. Face down in this Paddy. Buffalo crap. ******** lite. Locked and loaded.Gonna die today I think.My number's about to play. Mr Charlie on home turf. Incoming is whistling me a lullaby. So tell me again why I gotta be here? Down for the di di. Goin the other way. V.C. can see me but I cant triangulate. Little guy in black pajamas. Fighting for their wives kids and mamas. Need to dig in. gotta move. Boom. six O clock news . Mr Cronkite singing the body bag blues. Old McNamara just upped the ante. Mothers dont let yer babies grow up to be cowboys.
