'Once you get there no-one gives a damn' seems to have been re-written on the new version

Wikipedia said:
On 26 September 2010, Status Quo will release a new version of "In The Army Now" through Universal / UMC. All profits from this updated and lyrically-reworked version will be donated equally to the British Forces Foundation and Help For Heroes charities.

Original words below & the changes I've heard are in bold

A vacation in a foreign land You're on your way to a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can Now's the time to do what you can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good counting the days til you're back for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn side by side every woman and man
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Handgrenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergant calls [stand up and fight!]
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight You've got your orders better put things right
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right now its time to fight
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now

So not at all completely defeating the point of the original song.
What nest? While my guitar gently weeps changed to While my guitar is deleriously happy?
