SUPPORTING THE THREE<\/h3>\n

I am the Infantry, follow me.<\/p>\n

not a foot soldier, we’re much more you see.<\/p>\n

We’ll take the fight to the enemy.<\/p>\n

I am the Infantry, the first of the three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am the Cavalry, follow me.<\/p>\n

A modern horse soldier in an APC.<\/p>\n

Charging straight forward to the enemy.<\/p>\n

I am the Cav, most daring of the three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am the Armor, follow me.<\/p>\n

The arm of decision I’ll always be.<\/p>\n

When the going gets rough, call on me.<\/p>\n

I am the Armor, the best of the three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Armor, Cav, and Infantry<\/p>\n

rush headlong into the melee.<\/p>\n

Braking the lines like an angry sea<\/p>\n

deep into enemy territory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Approaching a crossroads, what do we see?<\/p>\n

The area secured by two lonely MPs<\/p>\n

Directing us forward, how can this be?<\/p>\n

How long have they been waiting for me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a crazy person an MP must be.<\/p>\n

He has no firepower or armor like me.<\/p>\n

And I thought everyone followed the three<\/p>\n

Armor, Cav, and Infantry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am the MP, don’t follow me.<\/p>\n

You don’t want to be where I will be.<\/p>\n

Guarding the crossroads, waiting for the three.<\/p>\n

Just my partner, a sixteen, a sixty and me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the objective taken, wait and see.<\/p>\n

No one will remember the lonely MP<\/p>\n

Who held this ground so they could run free,<\/p>\n

But that’s my job, supporting the three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
