This should have been posted on Veteran's day, but I wasn't here.  I will try to bump it at the end of April.  btw, it is a song in my head :wink:


Not at liberty to say

Honey what happened in Cambodia
Not at liberty to say
But that war was over a long time ago
It's still classified to this day

Honey I watched a show on cable
It was about the Fall of Saigon
Did you land on the roof of the CIA safe house
Or on the Embassy lawn

It was his first look of surprize
Then he got a frown between his eyes
I'd just learned more from a 2 hour show
Than from years standing by his side

Not at liberty to say
Not at liberty to say
That's classified information
Not at liberty to say

There's one thing he can tell me
Helicopters glide like rocks
That thing on the top is a rotary wing
and when it stops, the copter drops

He learned of this first hand
In a very foreign land
They shot him in the knee
But it gave him a nose bleed

Well the enemy killed all the passengers
And I know it sounds selfish of me
But I'm just real glad the guys sat on their helmets
And he only got shot in the knee

Not at liberty to say
Not at liberty to say
That's classified information
Not at liberty to say

Don't tell his mom I wrote this song
She doesn't think he was in 'Nam
I don't know where she thinks he was
But it would be a sweeter song

I'm not at liberty to say
He's not at liberty to say
That's classified information
We're not at liberty to say

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Quote from: The Good Reverend RogerVery nice.
And since it is after midnight, I want to take this chance to thank all of our veterans for serving our country.  Especially those that are not here, because they served a little too well.

As far as I know, my uncle Bobby, my aunt's first ex husband, did the same thing. :cry:

And I tried to find a link to the Crankshaft comic in the Sunday paper, but I couldn't find it, weird.  If someone has a scanner, scan it please?

Wow

Great poem

Now I want to sing it
Resistance is Fertile.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
-Mark Twain

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

War = Very Late Term Abortion

I never understood why a woman would think it wrong to kill a child in her womb but that it was perfectly okay, honorable even, to let him get sent to die far away in someone else's war, after he grew up.

He's still just as dead either way, right?

So what's the fucking difference?
