Do not Judge
Judge not the soldier Judge not the soldier For the soldier makes good The policies and promises Of leaders you have chosen
Judge not the soldier If you have not voted Participated in the responsibility of freedom For a soldier knows all too well responsibility
Judge not the soldier Until you have journeyed Far from those you love To take the fight to the enemy
Judge not the soldier If you have not held point Dirty, wet, hungry, tired Yet ever alert for danger
Judge not the soldier Unless you have braved the firefight And know your measure As only a soldier does
Judge not the soldier Until you have stood tall Against superior numbers And held your ground
Judge not the soldier If you have not been wounded Confidence shaken, known fear Yet bravely, swiftly, returned to the battle
Judge not the soldier Unless you have seen friends and comrades fall Heard their screams and dying prayers for those they love Or held their hand as they breathed their last
Judge not the soldier If you have never faced a wife, husband, or And told them they price they have paid For your rights and freedoms
Judge not the soldier For you live free and unfettered By the soldier’s honor, hands, blood, and life And you have not earned that right
