Line Haul

Driving truck in the military is a thankless job.
When the townsfolk see us
coming they gather in a mob.
Some yell at us and some cheer.
Some look at
us with awe and some with fear.
They used to use snipers and landmines to take you out.
Now they use IED’S and EFP’s that will kill you with no
doubt.
We bring the infantry ammo, bandages and food to eat.
Without us
they would surely know defeat.
They look down on us because we drive while
they kick, fight and maul.
But for them to do what they do they depend on us,
those who drive the line haul.
