The Battling Bastards of Benghazi

We're the Battling Bastards of Benghazi,

no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,

defending the country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,

fought to the consulate, 'n scaled the wall.

We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,

led them to safety, 'n stood at the gate.

Just the two of us, 'n foe by the score,

but we stood fast to bar that door.

We called for reinforcement, but it was denied,

so we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we fought,

'n we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,

'n Obama didn't give a damn,

just two dead SEALS, who carried the load,

no thanks to us, we were bumps in the road.
