@kestkr: Patriotism is a citizens right to peacefully protest if the country they reside make mistakes. When you pledge allegiance to something, your hand is not required to be on your heart. The change I seek has come to this country, we have health care, the iraq war is over, we finally have regulation of the big banks and wall street reform. BTW, Mr. Birther, the president denounced the rev. remarks vehemently. Though, I'm sure you disregarded that. Typical of the venom from the right.
And if you really want a true understanding of the Vietnam War, just ask any Vietnam Vet, they'll tell you the truth, it was all bullshit and propaganda, lives were lost or destroyed and all for what??
I love that all of the statistical quotes are from the likes of Westmoreland and Nixon. These are good guys to take your facts from because they were known for their honesty. You should be a fact checker for Fox News.
Thank you Mafia Man500 for clarifying -- this song comes from first-person point of view. He's telling us who he is -- who went to Vietnam -- the lower classes -- not Senator Al Gore Sr.'s son, the fortunate son Al Jr., or George H.W. Bush's son, George W. . .That isn't the case in Iraq.
I'm 15 and i found out about this band because my grandpa always playes these songs. These days it is easy to find what your looking for, just type a couple of lyrics! And yes i do own Black Opps and Battlefield Vietnam but i knew knew this song before thay even came out i just didn't know it came out during Vietnam.
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth.
@mafiaman500 Sadly, Youtube isn't letting me thumbs down your idiotic comments. "the people who dislike are from vietnam" What? That doesn't even make sense. This song isn't making fun of people who went to Vietnam or are from Vietnam, its making fun of the people who are all "GOGO WAR" but got themselves out of the current-time draft because they were rich
@36guacamole I imagine myself flying on a helicopter and lookin acreoss the sky watching other helicopters, who are watching other helicopters fly by other helicopters
Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of the men/women we elected to hopefully help make our lives a little better ? Shit, I don`t even always believe some of the things I think, say or do. But music does help soothe the savage beast in me.
Thought this was about music but what the hell, I`ll put my 2 cents in. Im 59 yrs old, raised saying the "pledge of alligance", believed america was right & the best. Then looked up definitions of capitalism, communism, socialism and unless ur wealthy, privilaged, own tons of Du Pont stock or brain washed a person would be a fool to think americas way is best. I worked & paid into SSI almost 40 yrs now they stopped my disability ins. benefits over a ever changing "rule" . FUK america.
@coltkitt Thanks for saying you bit, man, I really appreciate debate.
I personally haven't found any way, whether it be Marxism, Capitalism or whatever, that I can truly say is right. It's good to look at what the Capitalist states are really doing to the world and how they try to claim that their way is right. For example, the intervention in Libya is a perfect example of Capitalists working from their own agenda and trying to tell the people that they are defending liberty.
@generallyafailure123 Thanks for your insight and candor. I certainly agree w/u as to which system is truly right or best. Ponder this from Aldous Huxley " No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy." It seems to me that every good idea, good new govt, good new invention ultimately gets prostituted by mans greed, fears,pride, ignorance etc. Bummer huh ?.
US maybe incrased control in Germany & pacific... and what? But communists ruined whole east europe. All those countries lived in hell while russians "owned" them. Thats why south vietnam never wanted to be one of russian communist puppet and asked NATO to help when North vietnam began attack them. The war was hell for US soldiers and the result was south vietnam became part of one big inferno called "CCCP". If you think communists are good then tell me why half vietnamese live in europe. ;-)
@TheNightmare36 You misunderstand me. I'm not saying that Communism is good. I'm merely trying to challenge the common misconception that "America is right, Russia was wrong".
Of course, the question I have is whether it is better for a country to be a Communist puppet or an American/Capitalist one.
War is hell for all concerned, not just one side.
Communism as a theory is a society of perfection, of wholeness, whereas capitalism immediately accepts that money is more important than human lives.
@generallyafailure123 Yes you are right. Communist theory is not too bad, but im angry on them for that what they did in europe and HOW they did it. Keep domination over countries by army is not right way and kill people who dont like communists is not right way too... Those are differences between communist theory & facts wich forced many people to hate communism and russia.
@TheNightmare36 you are right about communism in theory is good. however, in reality it wont work because the human race on a whole is a very dominant species and some people are always going to want to rule over others or make themselves 'better' forcefully.
They tried to put rockets in Cuba because they were invited to by the Cubans. Note that the CIA had recently attempted an invasion simply because Cuba had Communist sympathies.
Don't be fooled into thinking that the Communists were the only people expanding. The US were certainly taking advantage of the death of the European Empires with their own expansion (increased control in the Pacific, Germany etc.)
@SmiLka7aAa North vietnam wanted to take south vietnam under their communist control and started attack them (vietcong terrorists). But south vietnam was in Nato so USA came to help them. There was not only us army, but australia, new zealand... etc. Just for help them. Communists started this war.... Fucking communists.
Ah. Fuck the Communists who spent most of the later half of the 20th Century trying to make peace with the US who were pursuing an unchecked campaign of expansion and calling it 'liberty'.
During the Cold War the Russian communists made about 100 offers to completely disarm their armed forces if the US would do the same. The US refused and didn't make a single arms-limiting offer in return.
The only reason why Russia wanted to stop arming was they had no money. The Cold War started Communists ruining half of europe & asia and placing rockets on Cuba.... ;-)
Vietnam was a lie perpetrated on the American p[uble by the Military Industrial Complex. The same corporate war hounds that are perpetuating the war on terror . It is a dam shame Americans are the world's most self absorbed apathetic people....
Five Hundred Dead young men, sent into a war by a Liberal Prime Minister of Australia that lied to his own Parliament to please the Foreign Policy of the US.
That was in about 1964.
In 2003 another Liberal Prime Minister of Australia lied to his people and his troops and sent young men into battle to be killed to uphold the US-Australian Alliance.
@lonsktube 500, you know, that's a pretty good amount compared to 50,000. It's even worse to think that those 50,500 died to promote peace in the world, huh?
@Chrisfrost27 HELL YEAH! all them damn fucking politics are annyoing me on the news and what in the fuck is nasdaq i dont give a shit but this song it rocks
this song is not pro war..its anti moron .Dont get me wrong, you f*ck with the US we should blow your ass to hell but lets keep it at home until they do....fighting for Rove and Cheney is just as bad as listening to socialist morons like Gore and Obama F*ck all politicians of all parties because they are more interested in staying in offfice and getting a nice table at the top restaurant in Georgetown rather than giving a sh*t about you..You politicians bettter watch out, civil war II is coming.
This song spells George W too the TEE. They should of suprised him andd played this during his inauguration. I quess his dad and the secreet service would not allow it ?
@frank02111 George is more patriotic?...he was MIA while he was serving. There are also other forms of patriotism besides serving your country. Such as working for the comminity. Obama is 20X the patriot Bush or Cheney, or any of the other Republican candidates could ever hope to be.
@kestkr Right. And what are you smoking? Barry attended a church were the good Rev Wright excoriated this country. Barry was photographed bowing to the Saudi King. Barry was photographed along with other Dummycrat candidates WITHOUT his hand on his heart during the pledge. Tell me again how's that change working for ya?
living near DC, i see a TON of homeless people and they are almost always Nam Vets. Clearly casualties where not the only negative effect of that war. The Government did nothing to help those people and they are still not doing enough. Soldier come back every day with PSTD, and no one does anything to help them.
All you pro-war people should stop telling people to support our troops, I don't see any of you opening homeless shelters.
@zoxl when ever i hear this song i imagine all soldiers in like helicopters and viehicles and laugh the vietnam soldiers for being fuck unfortunate dicks
i dont know jack we're just countin money as the B52 s soar - noone of you get the point, there were minimal politics driving Vietnam at most - it was just the simplest surest way to give the US economy a massive boost - i'm being very simplistic here but ultimately thats what it was and all it still is - and i am not saying those that fought were in it for money or trying to be disrespectful of those folks at all - everyone has there own valid reasons i'm sure.
This song coincides with my last post of the last Vietnam era take off and dust off.. And we gotta Love the Vietnam Vets and all of their battles on and off their fields, just as
as much as we have to love our own present day era vets coming home from our present day battle fields. We Love you all!!
my oldman volunteered for nam and hes from ireland lol . alot of shit is misunderstood but fuck no war should really happen end of story but it does......
iammishahearmeroar - You fail to see the point that the soldiers in Vietnam were NOT terrorists. half were drafted and forced to go. and it was to help southern Vietnam and liberate it from a potentially dangerous leader. Do some research please and thank you. Not to mention how stressing the Vietnam war was.
This is very helpful, I'm having trouble find different resources that cause effect towards a certain amount of people. I'm a govt/cj double major with an emphasis on international policies and this helps and helped make people understand that, it is a privelage that we are able to help people abroad, not a right. Good Job, hope you got an A.
Perceptions about Nixon are more distorted than those about the Vietnam War. Had it not been for Watergate, he would have gone down as one of the 10 best presidents in U.S. history. And the Watergate scandal that brought him down - he knew nothing about it until well after the fact. What brought him down was his joining in the cover-up. If one is a flaming liberal, Nixon could do nothing right, and if one is far-right, Obama can't either. The truth perhaps lies in the middle.
in the late 1950s south vietnam had pushed-out the french, refused to go along with US 'free trade' fraud, opposed US military bases, and the vietnamese countryside had successful campaigns of voter registration, literacy campaigns, women's and farmers' rights. and the US did what it always does: started firebombing villages, murdering and assassinating community activists, and placed military strongmen in power.
communism was the most fucked up thing in the world, many say that Hitler was bad-BUT Stalin Was the worst!!! in Russia 20 000 000 people died Before the WWII!
Communism is no worse then any other form of government it's the people who enforce it that are dangerous, look at America for instance we're considered Democracy but hell its getting worse every day and it will continue to get worse because people would rather live in ignorance and contentment then be aware of the fact that they are being taken advantage of.
Actually the north part of Vietnam (they were communists) were invading the south part of vietnam. The U.S. sent in troops to aid the French and to stop the spread of communism.
All I was trying to say is that the U.S. didn't just brutally invande the country. jfrey0725 seems to think it happened that way, or at least that's what his comment implies.
That attitude allows things to be accomplished and the ones that arent the best but just think they are to die off, leaving room for the ones that are.
You guys fail to see the point that the people who liberated the US in the first place can be called Terrorists. You fail to see the point that the Soldiers in Vietnam could be called Terrorists, as they invaded a country with no proclamation, and inherently liberated it for their own purposes. Noone's perfect, so there's no reason to take sides, or you're going to be arguing all day.

i dont know jack we're just countin money as the B52 s soar - noone of you get the point, there were minimal politics driving Vietnam at most - it was just the simplest surest way to give the US economy a massive boost - i'm being very simplistic here but ultimately thats what it was and all it still is - and i am not saying those that fought were in it for money or trying to be disrespectful of those folks at all - everyone has there own valid reasons i'm sure.

This song coincides with my last post of the last Vietnam era take off and dust off.. And we gotta Love the Vietnam Vets and all of their battles on and off their fields, just as
as much as we have to love our own present day era vets coming home from our present day battle fields. We Love you all!!

interesting this video quotes generals and assumes fact- the real fact is, only trust generals as far as you can throw them.

iammishahearmeroar - You fail to see the point that the soldiers in Vietnam were NOT terrorists. half were drafted and forced to go. and it was to help southern Vietnam and liberate it from a potentially dangerous leader. Do some research please and thank you. Not to mention how stressing the Vietnam war was.

This is very helpful, I'm having trouble find different resources that cause effect towards a certain amount of people. I'm a govt/cj double major with an emphasis on international policies and this helps and helped make people understand that, it is a privelage that we are able to help people abroad, not a right. Good Job, hope you got an A.

dude, awesome video and good concept....but whats with quoting Nixon? I mean, bullshit is all the man had to give besides death.......just a thought
greenrok44 1 year ago
@greenrok44
Perceptions about Nixon are more distorted than those about the Vietnam War. Had it not been for Watergate, he would have gone down as one of the 10 best presidents in U.S. history. And the Watergate scandal that brought him down - he knew nothing about it until well after the fact. What brought him down was his joining in the cover-up. If one is a flaming liberal, Nixon could do nothing right, and if one is far-right, Obama can't either. The truth perhaps lies in the middle.

in the late 1950s south vietnam had pushed-out the french, refused to go along with US 'free trade' fraud, opposed US military bases, and the vietnamese countryside had successful campaigns of voter registration, literacy campaigns, women's and farmers' rights. and the US did what it always does: started firebombing villages, murdering and assassinating community activists, and placed military strongmen in power.

Communism is no worse then any other form of government it's the people who enforce it that are dangerous, look at America for instance we're considered Democracy but hell its getting worse every day and it will continue to get worse because people would rather live in ignorance and contentment then be aware of the fact that they are being taken advantage of.

Unlike many other high profile celebrities at the time CCR denounced the war but at least recognised that the troops were not to blame.

jfrey0725 2 years ago
Actually the north part of Vietnam (they were communists) were invading the south part of vietnam. The U.S. sent in troops to aid the French and to stop the spread of communism.

Yes, they invaded there own country, wonder why....?

All I was trying to say is that the U.S. didn't just brutally invande the country. jfrey0725 seems to think it happened that way, or at least that's what his comment implies.

You guys fail to see the point that the people who liberated the US in the first place can be called Terrorists. You fail to see the point that the Soldiers in Vietnam could be called Terrorists, as they invaded a country with no proclamation, and inherently liberated it for their own purposes. Noone's perfect, so there's no reason to take sides, or you're going to be arguing all day.
