McCHRYSTAL:
O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men
That are out of work back in the U.S.!KING BARRY the FIRST:
What's he that wishes so?
My servant McChrystal? No, my fair menial:
If they are mark'd to die, they're enow
To do your country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the easier to sideline
As victims of post-traumatic stress.
No, faith, lackey, wish not a man or woman more:
Rather proclaim it, McChrystal, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him be interviewed by the Times.
He that outlives Afghanistan, and comes safe home,
He that ignores our VA deathbook and sees old age,
Will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had in Mazar-i Sharif.'
And the VA doctors will blink and wonder “Mazar-i-where?”
Old men forget: Kabul shall be forgot,
But some Oath Keepers will remember
What feats they did there: then shall our names.
Familiar in their mouths as barnyard words
Barry the king, Rahm and Axelrod,
Pelosi and Reid, Barney and Durbin,
Be in their flowing curses freshly remember'd.
Those few, those unhappy few, that band of outsiders;
For he to-day that sheds his blood in this
Illegal conflict I inherited from Bad King George
Shall be an outsider -- Be he ne'er so vile,
One of my Czars shall manage to vilify him further:
And Democrat men now a-bed with each other
Shall think them accursed who were there,
And hold each other’s manhoods whiles any speaks
That languished in Afghan upon Saint Crispin's day. For the actual St Crispin's Day Agincourt Speech from
Shakespeare's Henry V go HERE.
