Kiplings Arizona: Carmona This, an' Carmona That!

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Carmona this, an' Carmona that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Carmona this, an' Carmona that, an' anything you please;
An' Richie ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Richie sees!

The Republic and Republican love veterans, as long as they vote and run Republican.  Cross the party line and they'll get trashed you in the blink of an eye.
