US Soldiers.


Full of propaganda and democratic zeal
the US soldiers came to Iraq; five years
later they now know there is no ’�Mission
Accomplished.’� The soldiers have grown
up and no longer believe in this war, they
now call useless, mockingly laugh when
politicians speak of winning.

Good, working-class kids, manipulated
and lied to, from small towns and rural
communities, they are true Americans
who love their country, I salute them and
hope their leaders will think well before
asking them to fight, bleed and die for yet
another useless war.
