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

Country Joe and the Fish - Fixin' to Die Rag

Come on mothers throughout the land

pack your boys off to Viet Nam

come on fathers don't hesitate

send your sons off before it's too late

and you can be the first ones on your block

to have your boy come home in a box

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
