Sitting here day after day
Working our asses off in a forign land
You sit at home bitch and moan
You complain of your commute to work
Then you fuss because your son came home late
You watch the news and bitch because of the war
The fact is our commute is about twenty three hours
Many of us will not make it home to see our kids
We are here so you can bitch an so these people arent there
The fact is we dont need you to bitch at us
We are doing a job to protect you and our families
So you can be a desk jockey and stay home each night
We are the father and mothers brothers and sisters sons and daughters
Chances are we could be your neighbors
Many of us will probably never make it home.
Just one favor we ask of you
we dont tell you how to do your job
So please just pour yourselves a cup of shut the fuck up and-
Let us do our damn jobs!!!!!

Tedlling people to "shut the fuck up" is impolite and God will punish people who swear and use bad language. Beg for forgiveness before it is too late! Amen.

I think this has a good point to it. The flow is a little off, but its a rant, which I love. Check your spelling and other small errors. Besides that, this was good, but I think it could be better. Thank you for entering and good luck...
