Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away

You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes that've been made

Dellums' a real nice guy

And he'll always be there for you

But a nice guy shouldn't let Communism rule

Listen boy I'm sure you think you got it all under control

You don't want anybody telling you

The way to go

You're a big boy now

You'll never let your vote go

But that's just the kind of thing you ought to show

Tell them about it

Vote for Buckley

Give him every reeason

To show you that he's for real

Tell them about it

Vote for Buckley

Let him show he needs you

And how much you mean
 
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Seven
"I didn't think it was necessary--having to be re trained all of a sudden. They told us that we were going to fight the war on their terms. I asked why, they told me because it was their war--something like that. We needed to only backup the infantry, rather than launch strikes on our own. Essentially we needed to cover them and not much else.

"At first we ended up routing them--all the way across the Hindu Kush range. The television stations couldn't stop covering it. The Ministry was vindicated, Demichev had his victory and planned to stay where he was."

-Alexander Rutskoy (2009)
