I'm assuming this is accentual verse as it holds to no meter, but alternates lines between 4 and 3 accents per line. Very much like Ballad Meter, except it is not in iambs.
"and it's twenty days off the Horse" -->"it's twenty days off of the Horse"
Only cap the beginning of a line if preceded by a period. (Makes the reading easier.)
A number of lines seem to indicate a time not of the present. Such as the following appear to relate to the Knights Templar and others of the middle ages during the Crusades:
"We quaffed our chuck with rosy cheeks,
and marched to Palestine."
So the first three stanzas seem to fall into earlier times and are not about the US military, then the last two definitely are of modern times and the last about the US military.
The question for me is what do these groups (however many there are) have in common. Maybe drugs, first nicotine, the pot. Are they connected because they all are supposed to be Christians?
I think who you are talking about, and how they connect, as it is obvious you are condemning them, but I really have little idea who "they" are.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
