"Hero."

by Jon-Jacob F Deal

The ones who talk are the ones who lie
'Bout who they killed, who they saw die
It's the one who's silent knows the truth
As he sips his beer in the corner booth
While the braggart's tale goes through his head
And his mind calls the roll of the worthy dead
So, not to sound unsupportive, but
If you didn't do shit, keep your mouth fucking shut.

Couldn't agree with you more on this one Jon-Jacob, I met a guy the other day - reckoned he was a Paratrooper, Bosnia, Afghanistan, (swing the lantern, cue the war stories) - I introduced him to a 2nd Paratrooper who WAS 2para, 3para, brigade para, Major ic training - he asked one question and the 1st "paratrooper" then confessed he was just a clerk attached to the unit. the noisy ones are always the worst - I loved this btw. - Jimmy
