Faithful Servants Abandoned

They were trained, these Vietnamese war dogs,

dogs who would have lain down (and often did)

their lives for their human captors..



What was their reward for their total

fidelity.. their unconditional love?



Generals defined them as property

and ordered their abandonment. leaving them behind

in Vietnam..



just as most hierarchy treat underlings
