I Feel Like I’m Fixing To Die Rag

Were gonna have a whole lotta fun.
Whopppeee were all gonna die.
Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box.
Open up the pearly gates.

Jack Smith

  • not many people were war experienced.
  • not well trained.
  • Ambushes.
  • Friendly fire.

At the begining smith thought it was a little game and at the end he realized it wasn't and that it was scary.
