I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out, but I realized in a
dream last night that US Forces is cleverly written in the style of what is
sometimes called a "Jody" or military marching song. If you pull the
guitar patterns and some of Pete's artistic license with the meter, it has
the right cadence and call-response patterns for a good mile or so of
marching single time.
Anyone else with ... um ... military exposure notice this? Just think
about the movie Stripes and you can get the picture.
