My War

My buddy and I were told to fill 50 sandbags after we got off 6 hours of ECP duty which was after a 4 hour foot patrol through Ramadi. He was a drummer in a local hardcore band back home. We both hated Bush. We figured we were the only ones. We thought we'd be sly and play My War. But the CO came outside and asked us to turn it UP a little - Black Flag was one of her favorite bands, apparently. If you think you know the Marine Corps, chances are, you don't. That was the lesson of the day.
