Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs Mentioning 'Afghanistan'/'Afghan'
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
   An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
    Go, go, go like a soldier,
    Go, go, go like a soldier,
    Go, go, go like a soldier,
         So-oldier ~of~ the Queen!


Ending of verse by Rudyard Kipling
The Young British Soldier
