The night was deathly quiet on that fateful night in May
SEAL Team Six was loaded and their choppers on the way
The rotor sounds were muffled as they streaked across the land
Their mission was top secret and their destination Pakistan
The minutes passed by quickly as they traveled through the night
Their guns were in the ready as the compound came in sight
The landing zone was closing fast as they descended from the sky
The compound guards were shooting, and the lead began to fly
The SEAL Team now unloaded, they numbered twenty four
They knew their battle plans, practiced several weeks before
The fire fight was raging as the Seals’s took deadly aim
Compound guards lay silent, with bullets through their brain
Their mission had just started, much more work at hand
The leader of al-Qaeda, about to make a final stand
Bin Laden began to cower and hid behind his wife
Some say he cried for mercy and begged to spare his life
The final shot was deadly, straight through the coward’s head
And now the world rejoices cause the leader of al-Qaedas dead
Dumped overboard at sea, a fall from thirty feet
Seventy two sharks, had plenty that night to eat
America one, al-Qaeda zero, that’s the final score
Thanks to America’s finest, who numbered twenty four
It’s a nice piece of poetry, but it’s becoming apparent that the SEALs took out the guards before the guards had any idea there was a threat. Also, it’s more like al-Qaeda with around 8,000 to their score and the forces of freedom with some 100,000 to ours.
Nice!
I love it, but it won’t sound right if you pronounce it Pockeestaun like O does.
The fire fight was raging as the Seals’s took deadly aim
Compound guards lay silent, with bullets through their brain
War isn't about being fair.
A successful mission is when all of your people come home unwounded. The degree of success is reduced for each WIA and KIA. You lose major “success points” for every MIA and KIA left behind.
The SEALS did it right - no American WIA, KIA, MIA and the objective was properly serviced.
Enough said.
Have you heard about the latest bar-tending sensation, the bin Laden? Two shots and a splash of saltwater.
