Bang bang bang
Feel the violent judder of the cannon
Watch the dirt kicked up from the impact
Remember how you said so casually what weapons you carry
                    "...and 30 Mike Mike"
And now you can see their damage
                         Clear as day
            Ripping through a body
     Flesh and bone
Impact and burn

It doesn't matter
            That your victims were
                        Taliban
That your kills are counted as
            'Legal'

Your innocence hangs in tatters
Dripping
                        And soaked, now
30mm HEDP refers to the type of round the Apache helicopter's cannon uses - 30mm High Explosive Dual Pupose and 30 Mike Mike is military slang for 30mm

What do you think of this?

Interesting, but surely controversial. Americans never see the enemy as "people", and th don't give mercy while expecting it from their enemies. I was wondering what it was mounted on though, and an Apache makes sense. Not many other vehicles use that caliber extensively.
