War is hell, As far as I can tell. Nothing good, Just a lost boyhood Horrible moments, Of a helpless opponent. Only dead friends, I can’t make amends. Anguish and pain, Will drive you insane. When your call to duty, Is a life of cruelty. War is still hell, as far as I can tell. (This poem was written after seeing a photograph of a solider wearing a helmet that said, "War is Hell". The photo of the soldier was taken by Horst Faas, June 18, 1965 . 173rd Airborne Brigade Battalion member Larry Wayne Chaffin on guard duty at the Phouc Vinh airstrip)
