re: The worst wars to be a US soldier in

Nocturne of the Damned
Well the pyres of the dead,
Fueled by the damned they’re fed,
Mere fodder cast, into the maw of war,
While men in stately halls,
Make profit from it all,
And leave the debt for brave fools and the poor,
In many foreign lands,
In the jungles and the sands,
In the forests and the tundra freezing cold,
Sacrificing sons and brothers,
Brethren set upon each other,
While the rich and Royal count their stacks of gold,
Yes there’s ossuaries filled,
With soldiers who lie still,
Who charged the doors to hell in storms of steel,
And to this very day,
Their broken bodies lay,
Forgotten underneath a verdant field,
A picture in a frame,
A headstone with a name,
The stories of the generations lost,
And o’er No Man’s Land,
Plays the nocturne of the damned,
What’s won for some, is seldom worth the cost
