Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see this song.. Maybe finally, I can be at peace.. My father would get in the car, and the longer the drive, would start to sing THIS, and we all joined in later, and it WAS EAT A KRAUT, NOT THIS RAW MEAT, so to see the proof makes me happy.. He was in Anzio, and he was from Oklahoma.. but he would say after it was through another verse... KEEP ME IN THE 3RD DIVISION, BUT SHIP ME TO THE USA!!!To hell with Vietnam, Nothing beats :
I wouldn't give a bean
To be a fancy pants Marine
I'd rather be a dog faced soldier like I am.
I wouldn't trade my old ODs
For all the Navy's dungarees
I'm just a fighting son of Uncle Sam.
On all the posters that I read
It says: "The Army builds men"
So they're tearing me down
To build me over again.
I'm just a dog faced soldier
With a rifle on my shoulder
And I eat a Kraut for breakfast every day.
So feed me ammunition,
Keep me in the 3rd Division,
Your dog face soldier boy's Okayeee
from To Hell and Back
