The Lyrics

Desert Vietnam- Afghanistan- Soviet '79-'89 version!
They put me in a zoo
serving time

USSR bails out Kabul
Mujahs fightin’
Land occupyin’

Soldiers couldn’t stand it
Fire from all around
My Dragunov handy
But even the Gratch couldn’t keep ‘em down!

[Constant attacks to deny us ground]

They put me in a zoo
serving time
War crimes

[Child dies]

Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
Hinds hunt you
From caves to mountain cliffs
Support from air
Strike the enemy
Tough fight- we quit

[US Stingers bit]

Lunacy
They put me in a zoo
serving time
(Decade lost to Mujahideen)
Weapons: Dragunov (sniper rifle SVD 7.62mm), Gratch (nickname for Su-25 Frogfoot strike aircraft), Child dies (ref to Soviet use of Toy Bombs), Hinds (Mil-24 gunships), and Stingers (import US MANPADS anti-aircraft missile launcher).

Feel a little weird rating 5 for 'Funny' on this one - but I'm interpreting it as 'pathos' so that makes it okay - I think. :) Top job Rob - 555.

TY Wendy, and don't feel bad at all about the Funny category- the majority of parodies on AiR and in the real world are more sarcastic and witty more than anything else and usually reflect current events, politics, sports, etc... I love the hilarious stuff, but that again may be interpreted differently by other people. My morbid funny may be highly politically incorrect to someone else- even offensive. I push the envelope as far as I can, but also highly respect those that stick to humor only... but in the end a laugh is a laugh no matter what :)

Nasty and simultaneously funny in a grotesque way.
