Army of 1
12:57 pm January 5, 2005
The United States is a leader in the military
All our solders are expected to serve
in any kind of weather, at a moments notice
to go anywhere in the world and they do.
They are expected to help at home
They are expected to be dignified and honest
They are considered an Army of 1
and
they are
All being 1 body, One might .....
Until they injured, then they are swept aside
They are buried under the carpet,
They are looked at with shame!
If you were a weekend warrior,
with less than 20 years
They take your retirement from you
and force you to take severance pay
Even with a 20 year letter
Even with 26 honorable years of service
They will force you out
Extending even to those injured in Iraq
Even when they come home with
Purple Hearts
Silver Stars
&
Bronze Stars
Less than 1 year of active service
You are considered
nothing
You are less
Than an Army of 1!
