  • WE ARE THE MILITARY COALITION INC.

    This is my first time in this section.

    *********************************************
    I Lifted this from Fudbook. Bob Shepherd is ex 22 and currently lives in the US. This is Bobs response to the current 22 Push ups in 22 days thing going on.

    For sometime now, I've been raising awareness of PTSD and suicides of military veterans. I became a helping hand to a veteran's charity. I've spoken and written many times on the subject, I even wrote a poem.

    With that, I nominate the filthy corporations who lobby'd the Governments to send these individuals to corporate conflicts, to voluntarily do the right thing and pick up the tab for the rehabilitation of individuals affected, and compensation to their immediate family members.

    In my view, if this was shared around, it will have an alternative and positive influence on this massive problem in the future...as one suicide is one too many.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    WE ARE THE MILITARY COALITION INC.
    by
    Bob Shepherd

    ONCE A SOLDIER.

    We go into other people's Countries and kick up a stink,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    It's their Geo Political location...and what's under the ground,
    Leave it to our Governments to make the justification seem sound,
    Our Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers fought to defend,
    But fighting for giant corporates is our latest trend,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and all,
    It makes their people seem oh so small,
    What's under the ground is what we've come for,
    Democracy, woman's rights, education...all done for,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    From the East India Company way back when,
    Fighting for corporates is no new trend,
    Our soldiers will fight for their mates left and right,
    Until the enemy is kicked out of sight,
    Because they are professional, gallant and tough,
    But the people at home say enough is enough,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    We'll bomb them from the air and send them underground,
    Sound like a plan? No...not very sound!
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    We lost our lives, limbs, minds...in Afghanistan and Iraq,
    Does anybody really care...now that we are back?
    We're from communities around the Thames, Mersey, and others like the Clyde,
    We're homeless on the streets, and more soldiers are being lost to suicide,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    We rely on charities, backed by our great British folk,
    As the Government won't help, as they say they're broke,
    What about the corporates...as they leave us to the evil drink?
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    Lions led by donkeys has been quoted through history,
    When you look a bit closer, it's really no mystery,
    Whilst we defend ourselves from bullets, bombs and rockets,
    We see the Generals playing politics, from inside the corporates' and politicians'
    pockets,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    The Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS et all,
    Born from failed policies, US's ya'll,
    For our amazing young soldiers, we must do better,
    So I stayed up all night, and wrote this letter,
    We are the Military Coalition Inc.

    Whilst we've been fighting for corporate greed,
    The Chinese and Russians have strengthened at speed,
    So now, we have to rebuild for a bigger, stronger Army,
    To save our once great Nation, before things turn barmy,
    No more...Military Coalition inc.
