And someone else once wrote:

Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said,
this is my own, my native land?

Apparently so!

Poor little DeWitt, so upset at his prior identification as a gutless
coward, he now relys on borrowed words to attack a poem 
that pains his false and teary "We must follow orders!" pride. 

Fire your shrink and think for yourself DeWitt!

Then ask what deep fear forces you bow and scrape before the altar of
greed!

And ask yourself this: �Have I ever really confronted anyone over
anything to a degree that I was risking my life for what I believed in?�
. . . and stopping lying to yourself before you consider the questions!

�IN MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN�

ABOVE MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN, O�ER FOOLS THROWN THERE ASTREW,
RAPTORS SOAR SO PATIENTLY  FOR SOLDIER MEAT ANEW

THEIR CAW A CERTAIN TEMPO, EYES GLANCING DOWN THE WAIT
FOR BULLETS THROUGH VACANT MINDS AND CARRION FOR THEIR PLATES.

GOD! I PRAY! DAMN SUCH FOOLS! SUCH BRAINLESS, USELESS TWITS!
SEND THEM TO A SPECIAL HELL! WHERE TOGETHER THEY CAN FRIT!

ABOUT THEIR FLAGS AND COLOURS, AND REASONS LONG FORGOT; 
AND WHY THEY DIED SO USELESSLY, THEIR SHROUDED FACES FROUGHT, 

WITH THE PRICE OF THEIR STUPIDITY, 
AND THEIR SOULS SO CHEAPLY BOUGHT.

DO THEY CURSE THAT IGNORANCE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE TOO LATE LEARNED?
AND ACHE AT OUR �REMEMBRANCE�, OF BRAVERY NEVER EARNED?
