Three GreenBerets were ambushed in Niger
they're quite as dead as if they'd gone to war
America's surprised to learn they're there;
we've yet to hear just what this mission's for.
Eight hundred bases pock the planet's face
without accounting for our SpecialOps.
Damned Yankees act as if we run the place
but no one designated us WorldCops.
Combatants--to be lawful--need a war;
freelancers get no bennies if they're shot.
'Though Erik Prince believes each man's a whore
our troops in uniform are proudly not.
Without a policy, we're walking jokes
reprising bitter lyrics from Phil Ochs.
