Honoring our veterans with a little humor
What do you call a soldier, they say,
Who has survived mustard gas and pepper spray?
I say that’s a well-seasoned vet all the way.
What do you call a soldier they say?

What do you call a soldier man,
Who now’s a well-seasoned veteran?
I'd say he is a tough guy with a tan.
What do you call a soldier man?

What do you call a soldier, tough guy,
Who has a rifle upon his thigh?
A very good shot far and nigh!
What do you call a soldier, tough guy?

What do you call a soldier, Hotshot,
Who's been digging trenches when it's hot?
I think he might be experiencing a bit of rot.
What do you call a soldier hotshot?

What do you call a soldier, dude,
Who's fighting in the feud?
A man with a winning attitude!
What do you call a soldier Dude?

What do you call a soldier, stranger,
Who puts himself in danger?
Could this be an Army Ranger?
What do you call a soldier stranger?

What do you call a soldier, citizen,
Who will give his life for women and men?
He’d better be a well-honored veteran times ten!
What do you call a soldier, citizen?
