Dave thought for a moment about which one he'd sing when it came to him. A perfect way to express what was going on without actually having to say it. It was a cadence he had heard some of the Navy Gunner's Mates, he had worked with during Nam, singing. Rossi took a moment to go over the cadence in his head before nodding to himself and singing it.
It's a hostile situation,
It started in Iran,
But then the bloody Russians,
Invaded Afghanistan,
Hey,
Man at war,
Man at war,
Late at night when you're sleepin,
GMs come a creepin all around,
They're creepin all around,
Hey,
They came to find their leader,
They found him in the rear,
His eyes where full of wonder,
His eyes were full of fear,
Hey,
Man at war,
Man at war,
Late at night when you're sleepin,
GMs come a creepin all around,
They're creepin all around,
Hey,
They came to find their wounded,
They came to claim their dead,
They heard the choppers comin,
They're hoverin overhead,
Hey,
Man at war,
Man at war,
Late at night when you're sleepin,
GMs come a creepin all around,
They're creepin all around,
Hey,
They came to find their leader,
They found him in his bed,
But when they rolled him over,
They found that he was dead,
Hey,
Man at war,
Man at war,
Late at night when you're sleepin,
GMs come a creepin all around,
They're creepin all around,
Hey.
Rossi finished singing it fairly sure that he had gotten that one right.
"Army sings one by the same name but the words are completely different," Luke said as he watched Rossi.
"Yea well that's because the Army wouldn't know a good cadence if it smacked them in the face," Rossi joked with Luke.
"hey!" Alvez shouted in fake offence "I'll have you know that the Army has bad ass cadences!"
"Boys!" J.J. broke up the argument quickly.
She looked at Rossi before decided the hell with being nice about it "Why are you so upset lately?"
The old Marine was taken aback by her directness but at the same time he saw it coming.
"Bad memories," was all he gave in way of answer.
"What memories?" J.J. pushed.
"I just said, bad ones" Rossi said getting a bit defensive.
"Dave, You need to tell us what's going on," J.J. told him straight up.
"How about I sing another cadence," Dave suggested as a weird compromise.
"Fine," she relented reluctantly. He wasn't going to get rid of her that easily.
