First, anyone who has been in combat or a combat zone knows that you have to laugh or you will cry.
Second, you become ver blassie' about death.
Third, GI humor is rough. This particular example is actually quite tame.
Don't believe me? Check out another example:
Quote:
Napalm Sticks to Kids
A-10 A-10 flying high
drop that napalm from the sky.
See those kids by the river
drop some napalm watch them quiver.
Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!
See those kids by the lake
drop some napalm watch them bake.
Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!
See those kids by the hut
shove some napalm up their butt!
Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!
Napalm sticks to kids!

So before any of you are too harsh on Lance Corporal Boudreaux, here is another quote to ponder:
Quote:
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
- sometimes attributed to George Orwell
