[Verse 1]
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be

Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

...
[Verse 1]
I was a PFC on a search patrol huntin' Charlie down
It was in the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun

And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait
When he came in close beside me he said

"Don't worry, son, I'm here
If Charlie wants to tangle now he'll have two to dodge."
I said, "Well thanks a lot."
I told him my name and asked him his
And he said, "The boys just call me Camouflage."

[Chorus]
Whoa Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem

Whoa Camoufalge
I was awfully glad to see this big marine

[Verse 2]
Well I was gonna ask him where he came from
When we heard the bullets fly
Coming through the brush
And all around our ears

It was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eye
And it was strange but suddenly I forgot my fears

[Verse 3]
Well, we fought all night side by side we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
Cause they seemed to go right through him
As if he wasn't there
And in the mornin' we both took a chance and ran

[Verse 4]
And it was near the river bank when the ambush came on top of us
And I'd thought it was the end and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush
And that big marine he just swatted it with his hand

Just like it was a fly

[Chorus]
Whoa Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Whoa Camouflage
This was an awfully strange Marine

[Verse 5]
And I knew there was something weird about him
Cause when I turned around he was pullin' a big palm tree
Right up out of the ground
And swattin' those Charlies with it from here to Kingdom Come

When he led me out of danger
I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
And when I got back to my HQ, I told 'em about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big marine named Camouflage

[Verse 6]
When I said his name a soldier gulped
And a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said, "You may be tellin' the truth boy
But this here is Camouflage

And he's been right here since he passed away last night.
In fact, he's been here all week long
But before he went he said, 'Semper Fi,'
And said his only wish
Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage

So here, take his dog tag, son
I know he'd want you to have it now."

And we both said a prayer for a big marine named Camouflage

[Chorus]
Whoa Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Whoa Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine

Admiral Who Led Bin Laden Raid Tells President Trump to Revoke His Security Clearance, Too (2018)

... The Navy admiral who oversaw the 2011 mission to kill Osama Bin Laden has criticized President Donald Trump for revoking former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance -- saying the President has "humiliated" and "divided" America.

Retired Adm. William H. McRaven, a former Navy SEAL and commander of Joint Special Operations Command, wrote an open letter in the Washington Post Thursday in which he asked Trump to revoke his security clearance, as well. McRaven adds to the growing chorus of criticism over Trump's targeting of Brennan and other former intelligence and security officials who have spoken out against him.

On Thursday and early Friday, 13 former intelligence chiefs " including former CIA director General David Petraeus and former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates " released a statement backing Brennan and calling Trump's attacks "ill-considered and unprecedented."

McRaven, in his letter in the Post, said Brennan was "one of the finest public servants I have ever known," adding that he "would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency."

He added: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

The White House announced Wednesday that Trump had revoked Brennan's security clearance, with the President citing "erratic conduct" and "outrageous allegations." Brennan hit back on Thursday, saying that his involvement in the investigation into Russian involvement in Trump's 2016 election victory was the reason for his dismissal.

Trump said he was also considering revoking security clearance for others, including former FBI Director James Comey, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

All of the names on Trump's list have either been publicly critical of him, or were involved in the investigation of the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election.
