Perhaps because many of us do not know it as crap, but as a great airborne song that we all know by heart. Those who think it crap cannot begin to understand why we like it.

I always preferred *Beautiful Streamer* meself. But that's an acquired taste, acquired from the old days of the 11th Airborne Division in the late 1950s, where it was the unofficial division tune.
Plus the 7th Army Airborne Delivery Test Group and the 10th Special Forces Group in the mid-'60s. 388 jumps before I ended that sort of thing for good. I think.

I never served, but was a firefighter and I agree. We could
get pretty raw with our humor. It probably would have shocked those outside of our fraternity. Never knew a bunch
that cared more about people and each other tho.
