    I’ve seen how veterans are treated. There’s no way I’d join the military even if I didn’t find it ethically unacceptable.

      Gave up my girlfriend and my family

      traded them in for an M16

      Afghanistan Pakistan Yemen Iraq

      I don’t care if I ever come back

      From poor families how far we roam

      So the rich kids can just stay at home

      When I come home with PTSD

      The VA hospital won’t care for me

      I’ll probably end up homeless out in the dark

          When I came back from Luang Prabang

          I didn’t have a thing where my balls used to hang

          But I had a wooden medal and a fine harangue

          Now I’m a fucking hero

          Mourn your dead land of the free

          If you wanna be a hero, follow me

          Mourn your dead land of the free

          If you wanna be a hero, follow me

      Veterans get that free healthcare the rest of us need. The inadequate, short-funded, free healthcare you get as an afterthought
