The Enemy
Death by mental illness, among America's troops,
Is getting more prevalent, with every month.
Suicide is bombing their ranks.
Ironically,
The Army reported, in January '09,
That twenty-four soldiers took their lives,
While combined losses in Iraq and Afghanistan
Had been reduced to a mere ten.
Twice as many died by their own hand, as by jihadists.
The Bush administration was decidedly more off-base
Than it was in making its case for WMD's.
It didn't even recognize the enemy.
