Here I am
In Afghanistan
To protect the people from the Taliban
But
The Imam
Laughs at me
Says
Stupid man
This
Is your Vietnam
You’ve been here now
Near 10 Ramadans
And
Still you cower
In your armoured vans
A Helmand Soldier

Re: A Helmand Soldier
A neat little ditty. I have a son in 3 para who has done two tours so I understand what you guys and your families go through. I admire and respect your bravery. Take care while you're out there.
