WE GAVE A SHIT!   By Swashplate    Please notice, In Vietnam, We were young and did give a shit! When scared, We did hide it in laughter, in tears,    In gallons of beers. We all cursed Victor Charles ,no love lost, not a bit!    When we locked and loaded, It wasn`t for a paper target we aimed, For it was pure survival that we fought,    Pockets of MPC, Expensive shit we bought! Couldn`t afford it on civilian salary,What a shame!    We spread love on the closest things, On pets and Mascots we held so dear,    A little humanity we would smear. We were always proud of our flight wings!    A crewman dies, we quickly dry our eyes, Some tears don`t fall, Our hearts harden, even when taps is called,    We await our bunks, at night, and hear the cries!    Little orphans in black pajamas with little Dong, Our heart strings fraid,    High explosive surprizes, wounded laid, Scruffy little bastards, Junior Viet Cong.    Drafted or Joined-up, We went, We laid it all on the line,    The Goodies weren`t that fine, Our loose change, on a whore, well spent!    WE were there! We gave a shit! We are hear NOW! WE want our fair bit!    We NOW give a shit!   Marvin Camp Camp Evans I corps, Doorgunner and Crewchief Member VHCMA and Heli-vets 101st Abn Div.
