Eventful War Book 2

Nick Armbrister

 

Argentinian Destroyer

And so business is business

War is war ship versus ship

Is just that a game of chess

Pieces here and there

 

All over the board

Max out the strategy

British made destroyers

Used by the Argentinians

Brits trained the crews in 81

 

Facing them off in 82

Using the same ships

Royal Navy style

Not an exercise

 

The Falklands War

Blame the leaders

War is business

Business is war

 

 

 

Devil Like

The pilot girl spent a day stripping out the digital cockpit of her jet

Along with all of the black boxes and other gizmos to save weight

She went to a carpenter to make a wooden dashboard

Which had six spaces for six clock type dials in the plane

No computer needed she flew by feel as if by angels

She was an avenging angel an Aggressor pilot the best

Flying an F-35 which was a ton lighter no junk inside

The dash was fitted and dials installed she was ready to go

Ready to go and kick other pilots butts teach them a lesson

The best pilots are always humble make them learn

Taught by a girl who was and is the best in her old jet

Always humble always ready to dance in the sky

 

 

 

Hit Terrs

Bombers making bombs to blow up American troops

Go target them in Iraq root them out search and destroy

Same in Afghan they want to detonate IEDs to kill Yanks

Similar story in Syria where Americans hit Muslim terrs hard

And in Yemen drone death strikes terror safe havens

Load the dice and roll them terror sponsor Iran is next

America spent two decades in COIN warfare up close

War with Putin’s Russia and Red China aint so personal

But they can behave like terrorists given the chance

Wait and see who is next on America’s hit list 

 

 

 

Dog Casualty

War dog eating dead soldiers

Slightly rancid flesh a few flies

Fly away when disturbed

Their meal now the war dog’s meal

Getting fat off dead Soviet troops

Killed by Nazi Parabellum bullets

A skirmish in a nameless small town

Not on any maps wooden shacks

 

Empty of civilians now under the snow

Soon the dead Soviet’s bones will be

Frozen to the ground and forgotten

By men and God not by the Devil

War dog living in the forest

Eating snow for water

Unnamed half wild alone

Dog casualty of war

One scene of many
