Obama is burned in effigy as angry Afghan mobs promise vengeance for the slaughter of innocents at the hands of a US soldier.
The Russians were surprised when they were shot.
Regarding US forces, I have read
About the many heroes, and the dead
And wounded, and the battles they had fought
To harbor all the innocent away.
I wonder if the stories I recall
Are common here alone, and if at all
Afghanistan remembers that our fray
Had driven off the bad militiamen.
I fear the Russians knew the good alone
That all their army did, were never shown
The way the Afghans saw them – cowards, when
The mines would Russian slaughter carry on.
I hope we leave them better ere we’re gone.
