What Did They Do?

I read the news and rage fills me with
The news that 8 of my brothers have
Died. They don't stay in the news for
long, we all need to know that David
Letterman is cheating on his wife.

That he is a douchebag and can't keep
his zipper closed is news? Maybe to his
Wife, but why the hell do I care? We have
Lost 8 examples of what real men are and
He is what is left what a deal we got there.

Can somebody try cloning Patton? There
Is a shitload of slapping to be done and we
Might better get some bullets for his six-gun
Too. What happened too when we had real
Heroes to look up to and not made for TV kinds?

The Golden Casket of Petty Officer Monsoor shows
Just the sort of hero we need. Do you know who
he is Though? That gold was forged in the hearts
Of men who are iron, and the cost is paid with their
devotion and blood that others will never have too.

For me I will always carry them in my heart and
In my thoughts. I have had the privilege of having
served with some of them, and known many more.
I love them all and will always do whatever I can,
Stay safe my brothers, and sleep sound tonight.
