Fightin’ Words



Written by Russ Vaughn
Friday, November 26, 2004




You media pansies may squeal and may squirm,
But a fightin’ man knows that the way to confirm,
That some jihadist bastard truly is dead,
Is a brain-tappin’ round fired into his head.
To hell with some weenie with his journalist degree
Safe away from the combat, tryin’ to tell me,
I should check him for breathin,’ examine his eyes.
Nope, I’m punchin’ his ticket to Muj paradise.

To hell with you wimps from your Ivy League schools,
Sittin’ far from the war tellin’ me about rules
And preachin’ to me your wrong-headed contention
That I should observe the Geneva Convention,
Which doesn’t apply to a terrorist scum
So evil and cruel their own people run from,
Cold-blooded killers who love to behead,
Shove that mother’ Geneva, I’m leavin’ em dead.

You slick talkingheads may preach, preen, and prattle,
But you’re damn well not here in the thick of the battle.
It’s chaotic, confusin’ it all comes at you fast,
So it’s Muj checkin’ out because I’m going to last.
Yeah, I’ll last through this fight and send his rear away
To his fat ugly virgins while I’m still in play.
If you journalist weenies think that’s cold, cruel, and crass,
Then pucker up sweeties, kiss a fightin’ man’s ass.

Reminds of something Patton could've written.

Is it true that our soldiers can disregard the Geneva Convention in Iraq?   I didn't know that.

But the line "To hell with you wimps from your Ivy League schools, Sittin’ far from the war..."

You all know that Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz are all Ivy Leaguers, right?

No it's not true.  What is true is the fact that Terrorists/insurgents are not provided protection as "soldiers" in the Geneva Conventions because they wear no uniform and fight for no country or organized military.  They are Unlawfull Combatents.  UC's are afforded SOME rights under Geneva but it's far less than what a Uniformed soldier would recieve.

Now on the flip side the DoD has said that all captured Insurgents are to be treated as POWs for the most part and are to be given basic rights of criminals.
