The Ballad of the Green Beret
By Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler and Robin Moore, Copyright 1966

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request

Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

God Bless the U.S.A.
Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

"Taps"
Day is done
Gone the sun
From the Lakes
From the hills
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest.
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky,
Gleaming bright
From afar,
Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.

I thought that might be a better response then yelling or screaming in response to some of the stupidity that comes out of people's mouths when the war in Iraq in Afganistan is discussed. Even a fictional caracter from a movie has a better attitude about winning than some in this country.
"what do I think about the war in vietnam" " "I think we ought to win"
Animal mother full metal jacket.

Now as to the people mismanaging this war they can take "their rules of engaugment" that get Mrs. Smith's son shot in the face in a house or alley in Iraq and shove those rules directly up thier asses and let our brave men do thier job in the way they need to. GIVE THEM THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE LIES OUR OUR ENEMY FIRST BEFORE OUR OWN MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right. "Apache chopper killing tons of people" is not military tactics.

I know pedophiles rape babies, by your logic I should download some good video of that, too. I know people are killed by the thousands in wars, I don't believe I should use it for entertainment.

I don't even own a television, kid, so you can keep repeating that till the cows come home and it still won't mean anything.



Anyhow, too the good reader: I'm just suggesting, especially in an age when we can witness anything at all, people should consider what they put into their heads and why.

Pointing out that you dont own a tv actually goes heavily against you.
Everyone should own a tv if only to watch the news. no matter how biased you feel it is you can still watch it intelligently.

I tell my girlfriend that every day. "It's clean," I say, "And you'll make me very happy."

The head usually leads straight into the sewage anyway.


that makes sense in Navy/Marine-speak....

it has plenty to do with military tactics. gives us outsiders a small glimpse into how the war on terror is being fought.


a baby getting raped by a pedophile is terrible yes, but its not a large scale conflict that is affecting the entire world.


dont lie craig. you know american idol is your favorite tv show of all time. you know you get on your phone and send in your text votes every single night. i bet your even one of those voters that votes like 100 times in a row for their favorite contestant cause you are that distracted by the distractions that are meant to take your mind off the problems of the world.

gregimotis

LOL@me. You just made me waste five minutes of my life reading the American Idol offical home page. Another bit of Gregiwisdom, women who wrote lyrics like these:

"Visions of perfection/Such a misconception/’Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can see...”

Are fat women.

And what's wrong with fat women? So long as that's the only major thing she needs to work on?

I believe full-sized was once popular in this country in the early 20th century; still is in some countries.

Rather be with a gal whose mildly overweight, but has a beautiful, fun and lively personality with a good heart than a thin gal who has a mean, cold, ugly and inanimate personality.

Ain't nothing wrong with a heavy girl at all. If however, I was to hang out with a fat girl, I'd rather hang out with one who doesn't go around writing whole songs about how it's not what's on the outside that counts.

Hey fat girl, if it's not what's on the outside that counts, then why don't you quit bringing it up all-goddamn-ready? Sheesh.

Anyway that's a different rant.



Rant off. Empty and I are e-buddies again... for now (mad scientist chuckle)
