“Wish You Were Here”
For all the free people that still protest.
You’re welcome.
We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you?
No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons, wearing the boots and carrying
the guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own, to make sure your future is carved
in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die, we might not be able to save the world,
well, at least we’ll try.
We walked the paths to where we are at and we want no choice other than
that.
So when you rally your group to complain, take a look in the back of your
brain . . . .
In order for that flag, you love to fly, wars must be fought and young
men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that is not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs, and pray for those behind
enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well, be thankful we chose to go
through hell.
Joshua Miles and all the young men from the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines,
Kuwait.
