with the Ballad of the Green Beret
\nhe song and danced us into Vietnam
\nWho’s left to remember
\nthe oil embargo on Japan preceding Pearl Harbor
\nor that Cuba did not blow up the Maine
\n“Do not speak ill about the dead.”
\nok, maybe John Wayne gets to watch
\n“Good Morning, Vietnam!” for an eternity
\nor choose to reincarnate<\/p>\n
“Delta Force and CIA
\nMarines and SOCOM clear the way
\nCovert missions now in play
\nSpecial OPS like the Green Beret”<\/p>\n
maybees John W. and Johnny Cash
\nare soul mates since 2 ought 3
\nHollywood is not all left Bill O’Reilly
\n(neither is the ACLU)
\nit’s hard to get the masses to support a war
\nsing them a catchy tune that echoes in the brain
\nmake ’em happy and proud
\nto march their sons and daughters
\noff to the killing fields of war<\/p>\n
or were you just a devil
\nwith blue suede shoes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
