Back in the days of shock and awe. We came to liberate them all. History was the cruel judge of overconfidence. Back in the days of shock and awe. . Back in the days of "mission accomplished". Our chief was landing on the deck. The sun was setting on a golden photo op. Back in the days of "mission accomplished". . Thousands of bodies in the ground. Brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound. No one sees them coming home that way. Thousands buried in the ground. . Thousands of children scarred for life. Millions of tears for a soldier's wife. Both sides are losing now. Heaven takes them in. Thousands of children scarred for life. . We had a chance to change our mind. But somehow wisdom was hard to find. We went with what we knew and now we can't go back. But we had a chance to change our mind.
