A typewritten satirical poem titled 'Close Support,' preserved in the Pat McAleer collection, humorously critiques the layered bureaucracy of requesting close air support during the Korean War. Its refrains—'Ahora,' 'Manana,' and 'Proximo Ano'—wryly capture the frustration of troops and airmen awaiting timely air strikes through a multi-echelon chain of command. Project: 218326
