Default help me find this poem

Yes, I have a literary side. I can't remember this poem, even badly.

" ... It wasn't the journalist who gave you free speech,
It wasn't the preacher who let you pray ..."

A US poet wrote about a dozen lines that ends up saying that soldiers give society the things it cherishes, free speech, religion, protest, etc.
