Way down south 'round Carolina way
I've got a honeysuckle rose
When I come home tongue-tied, drippin', yappin', sleepin', wakin' , talkin' shuckin'
She get down on my cooter toes
She give me corn pone bread and black-eyed peas
Chitlins on Saturday night
And if I come home tongue-tied, droppin', bookin', wakin', walkin'
You know she rub it, make it feel alright
She's my American woman, woo
Woo, she's my American woman
Whoa, she's my American bitch
A North American woman
And if I come home tired to my piggy in the morning
She get down quickly and rub my back
She got no posters hangin' on her wall
Just a tattered old Union Jack
She's my American woman
She's my American woman
My American woman
North American woman
Oh baby, say, American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, well she gonna mess your mind
Baby, American woman, she gonna mess your mind
American woman gonna mess your mind
Say it A, say it M, say it E, well sing it R, oh sing it I, oh sing it C,
well sing it A, Nnnnnn!
An American woman, well she gonna mess your mind
An American woman, well she gonna mess your mind
American woman gonna mess your mind
Baby, American woman gonna mess your mind
An American woman gonna mess your mind
Baby, mess it, mess it all around
Ugh
The song is about Cluster Bombs
On January 11, 2005, Cotton enlisted in the United States Army.[10] He entered Officer Candidate School (OCS) in March 2005 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in June.[11] He completed the U.S. Army Ranger Course,[12][13] a 62-day small unit tactics and leadership program that earned him the Ranger tab, and Airborne School to earn the Parachutist Badge.[11]
In May 2006, Cotton was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) as a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division. In Iraq, he led a 41-man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment, and planned and performed daily combat patrols.[11]
In December 2006 Cotton was promoted to first lieutenant and reassigned to the 3d Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) at Fort Myer in Arlington, Virginia, as a platoon leader.[14]
From October 2008 to July 2009,[citation needed] Cotton was deployed to eastern Afghanistan. He was assigned within the Train Advise Assist Command โ East at its Gamberi forward operating base (FOB) in Laghman Province as the operations officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT), where he planned daily counter-insurgency and reconstruction operations.[11]
Cotton was honorably discharged in September 2009. During his time in the service, he completed two combat deployments overseas, was awarded a Bronze Star, two Army Commendation Medals, a Combat Infantryman Badge, a Ranger tab, an Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and an Iraq Campaign Medal.[11] In July 2010, Cotton entered the Army Reserve (USAR).

Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Oxford, attending the latter on a Rhodes Scholarship. From 2009 to 2017, he was an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant. He was mobilized and deployed to the War in Afghanistan for seven months in 2014. Before being elected as mayor of South Bend in 2011, Buttigieg worked on the political campaigns of Democrats Jill Long Thompson, Joe Donnelly, and John Kerry, and ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic nominee for Indiana state treasurer in 2010. While serving as South Bend's mayor, Buttigieg came out as gay in 2015. He married Chasten Glezman, a schoolteacher and writer, in June 2018. Buttigieg declined to seek a third term as mayor.
Buttigieg joined the U.S. Navy Reserve through the direct commission officer (DCO) program and was sworn in as an ensign in naval intelligence in September 2009.[57]
He took a seven-month leave during his mayoral term to deploy to Afghanistan in 2014.[58][59][60][61]
While there, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at Bagram Air Base, but he was also an armed driver for his commander on more than 100 trips into Kabul. Buttigieg has jokingly referred to his role as an armed driver as "military Uber", because he had to watch out for ambushes and explosive devices along the roads and ensure that the vehicle was guarded.[62]
Also, while deployed in Afghanistan, Buttigieg was assigned to the Afghan Threat Finance Cell, a counterterrorism unit that targeted Taliban insurgency financing.[63][64]
Buttigieg was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal,[65]
and he left the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2017.[66][67][68]
>Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College
Cotton was accepted to Harvard College after graduating from high school in 1995. At Harvard, he majored in government and was a member of the editorial board of The Harvard Crimson, often dissenting from the liberal majority.[5] In articles, Cotton addressed what he saw as "sacred cows" such as affirmative action.[6] He graduated with an A.B. magna cum laude in 1998 after only three years of study. Cotton's senior thesis focused on The Federalist Papers.[4]
After graduating from Harvard College in 1998, Cotton was accepted into a master's program at Claremont Graduate University. He left in 1999, saying that he found academic life "too sedentary", and instead enrolled at Harvard Law School.[4] He graduated with a J.D. degree in 2002.[7]
Career
After graduating from Harvard Law School, Cotton spent one year as a law clerk for Judge Jerry Edwin Smith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He then went into private practice as an associate at law firms Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Cooper & Kirk[8] in Washington, D.C., until he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2005.[9]
