Polish group The Poise Rite have just released a song dedicated to the Nangar Khel drama (and Polish troops in Afghanistan in general).
Very, very moving piece of music.
Here you have the lyrics (my translation. Sorry for the dirty words, but it goes like that):
Nangar Khel 2130
Mountains, the base,
Father Chaplain
In the #### „Kid’s Murderers’ on the wall
Trained, armed,
Fear, adrenaline, steroid food, porn DVD
Orders have been given, native people meet their death
Military jailed, the army’s divided
It could have been not me shooting, it could have been you,
Either they’ll get us, either we get them
Genocide, mistake, runaround, two thousands one hundred and thirty ...
Civilian crowd, politics
Who had killed whom here? The new shift is going to ask
Two thousands one hundred and thirty above sea level
Three days on patrol
Six months on the mission
Combat formation
The gunner wearing goggles, Arafat style keffiyeh, mortar
Live rounds
Small victorious war
#### fiction
Kevlar helmet, kevlar heart, kevlar head
Buddies dying, mothers crying
Peacekeeping mission
Civilians have been killed, the uniform has been dishonored
Genocide, mistake, runaround
Who’s the victim?
Their’s or our children?
Their’s or our wives?
Genocide, mistake, runaround
Two thousands one hundred and thirty ...
Civilian crowd, politics
Who had killed whom here? The new shift is going to ask
Genocide, mistake, runaround
Two thousands one hundred and thirty...
Civilian crowd, politics
Who had killed whom here? The new shift is going to ask
And the soldiers’ choir singing at the end:
When I was rotting the #### in jail for half a year, without the verdict
- rotting the #### in jail for half a year without the verdict
The people the #### were surprised, The minister the #### himself was deriding
The people the #### were surprised,
The minister the #### himself was deriding
And here you can listen to the song (in Polish)
