WASHINGTON, April 17 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said the United States has barred Israel from further bombing in Lebanon, striking an unusually harsh tone with the longtime U.S. ally while stressing that any U.S. deal with Iran is not linked to the Lebanon conflict. "Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!" Trump said in a social media post.

In the images, taken anonymously and provided by families to USA Today on Thursday, one tray contains little more than shredded meat and a single tortilla, and another depicts what relatives described as an unidentifiable "grey" processed slab alongside vegetables.

Lyrics:

Big legs dangle from a helicopter hole
Big chug rhythm it's gotta be now ho!
Brown, mean and young
Dumb and full of ---
What can you use a marine for
This is a ------- ass machine gun war

With your boots on the ground
Boots on the ground
Boots on the ground
Boots on the ground

We trim your hedges, we fight your wars
Wait in the trenches, and we ---- til we're sore

Boots on the ground
Boots on the ground

Born shiny bullets in an army of ants
Blow that horn, we sleep in our pants
Big -------, big -------
Well we holler and we burn down cities

Boots on the ground
Boots on the ground

Shootin up the town
Stayin in the hole until Jimmy Hoffa is found
With my boots on the ground

Well something goes tink when the cartridge is spent
Where do you think all your cartilage went

Boots on the ground
Boots on the ground

Now who the hell are these federal ------?
Hiding in the senate like a bloated ass tick
Air conditioned --------- loafers
Sittin in a room full of army posters

A coal to a diamond, a vote into law
They Campaign up all the blood they can draw
Mold your world, a soldier's just clay
How much does every soldier weigh?
Cut you off at the ankles and they throw that away

Boots on the ground

It's cold and hot, as Satan's .hoof
Spinning on the world I'm hiding on a roof
I kill a brown man I never ass knew
Choked on spit and then he turned blue
He spattered black blood, he rolled fin out
He died right here I got the pearl from his snout
A puff of gray smoke from the tongue of a cloud
He rotted in the sand and all that they found was his
boots on the ground, boots on the ground, boots on the ground

All that they found was his boots on the ground, boots on the ground
