No One Left Behind (Tanka)

No one left behind
The motto of a nation
Turned political
We must bring our loved ones home
Not sacrifice them as pawns

    Thank you! Patriotism gets a lot of young men killed.. Old men never go to battle…

      This is so very true. We may have disagreements about how things happen, but no one can dispute that every soldier deserves to come home. Thank you for the nice comment my friend.
