Soldier Types from my new book with link


Soldier Types
What type of man becomes a soldier?
All types of man from a baker to accountant
From the criminal offered either jail or the army

To the graduate who wanted to become a man
All signed up and were given a number
Along with a rifle and uniform and orders
Off to war they went aged 18-22

Keen to show they were ready and able
To kick both German and Japan where it hurt
This they did hundreds of times over

But after Germany and Japan kicked them
Killing their buddies and losing them battles
After these harsh lessons America stood up
Making a stand to do what was needed

Smash the Axis militaries two front war
First Imperial Japan and then Nazi Germany
But it was soon apparent that both were equal

One threat the same as the other
But different in their make up
Yet the same in their fighting intent to win
Both were heavy weight opponents

With skill and tenacity and a knockout will
This was the nature of the enemy to fight
The Army of Democracy stood up

And took on the challenge to be victorious
Once and for all even if it took forever
And cost every single soldier his young life
They started the war we’d finish it
