Tremendous souls who served as deterrence, now gravely weakened - a poem.
Letting the enemy fight that detection;
Far off they went, to offer protection -
The ones they now vanquish, soon to be goner,
Primary battlers - serving with honor…

The promise of government, makes a decision,
Posits leadership’s widening vision.
Impossible ignorance costing true lives,
Feathered toward angels, sanctity thrives.

Complicity noted, this administration -
Jarred by ruin, America’s castration…
That chaos, suffering, immeasurable cost.
Purpose was measured, connection now lost…

Tragically slain, dismembered, such deference!
Thousands of troops who’ve conferred a deterrence.
The deepening sadness, the relevance of war,
Concerning construction, purveyors, pride’s door!

Forces committed - so brave and so beautiful -
Sterling, their courage displayed was so dutiful; 
Armed and defiant, the nation in check -
Holding those enemies down by the neck…

Such is the balance, sole meaning in life;
Displaying those duties, enveloped by strife.
Striving for poise - that peace - in that visage.
Looking at health, kind thoughts for that message.
