Eve of Destruction

[glubbygook]

this is a great song, but you are all a bunch of fucking hippies, cant wait to join the marine corps oorah!

[rorybowskill]

War is the health of the state, Government is violence.....Join the dots. Bring the bous home ALIVE and put a few politicians in their place then see how fast it gets sorted.

[bizintin]

Powerful. I value your commitment "to trying to say" what must be heard. May you not falter.

[XxC0ldH3artxX]

My father was in Vietnam, and his M16 jammed and he died by getting shot six times.

Now I live in one of the US's main gang towns, Over the Rhine, Ohio. I've been stabbed, beat up, and almost killed. My gang is one of the many killing others for weed. I've been through two best friends, both died.

It is surprising what drugs can do to a person, by the way, I'm only 15.

I know my story is a minority compared to real vets, but I'm not as old as real vets either.

[19peter96]

@XxC0ldH3artxX Wait... if your father died in vietnam then how could you only be 15?

[XxC0ldH3artxX]

@19peter96 Long term injury. He died slowly.

[retairforce92]

@XxC0ldH3artxX Get out while you can. You have the choice to not be involved in gang war. What our miltary members are doing is also choice, but they are doing this so that you can have the best and feeest nation in the world for you to be able to grow up and be free. If you stay in the gang, you will most likely not make it to your 21st birthday. You almost didn't by the sounds of it. Stop the weed, and you will not want to steal and kill for it. Good luck young man. May you find peace.

fuck all that shit man im a US Marine Veteran that got shot by those bastard ass sand-niggers and frankly i loved poppin the ragheads. so remember everything has an equal and opposite reaction, i.e. up-down, left-right, ect....war-peace, you cant get one without the other so all you liberal bitches shut the fuck up and put yourself in our shoes because we are tired of hearing your bullshit protest. because to us happiness is a belt-fed weapon and peace is the smoking barrel of that weapon!

[bucky468]

@mtran0629 I appreciate the service you gave to this great nation but what's your opinion of those on the right who think 9/11 was an inside job?

[neonmoondancer]

@bucky468 That "truther" crap is the fabrication of the left to rile and disorient the Right.

[bucky468]

@neonmoondancer Wrong. I disagree. And I am a conservative. I was referring to Alex Jones & those on the right who believe Bush had something to do w/9/11. Some in the Tea Party have said 9/11 looked liked an inside job. BTW I'm not condoning w/the whack jobs on the left either.

[MrCorleone99]

@mtran0629

wow - just wow. I suspect you are a veteran from the slavery days of the Civil War. Besides, it is impossible to smoke the barrel of weapon. My advice? Try smoking cigarettes, it is easier and much more pleasant than trying to smoke a gun; the size of the gun alone would kill ya.

[Pagan1955]

You have put it so well, but you forgot all the rest that never played in your-sandbox. Many found work in other quaint locations ranging from muddy an warm, to frozen ice-snowstorms.

I played down near the US-Mex border decades ago for fun as well,but the locals were not all that fun to play with. But the beaches were warm and the girls were friendly an business went far to fast no time to relax

[MTPorcupine3]

You all might like this song, rewritten to the same tune: rich angell still a free country

[firstnoel0199]

your pictures make us think about how hard it was for the soldiers. thank you..

[ARomanianKid14]

this song is great and it is so true.

[imaliberal]

Same Shit, differant war

[primeredstang]

this song was originally protest song for the viet nam war , but i guess it is fitting for an war or police action ,, what ever the government decide to call it at the time or what is best fitting for the act

[nadianicolai1992]

Really really nice!Love the song

[buddyis12]

War is a racket

General Smedely Butler

[thephotoqueen]

Unless you've been there you have no clue. Unless you've been the wife, the mother, the father, the sister, the brother or the girlfriend, fiance of a soldier fresh from the sandbox..you will never know the horror reflected each day in the eyes of a man or woman whose seen far more than any human ever should. Empty angry eyes exploding, not knowing why it all is what it is, lost. We are generations lost to war and invasion. Violence is violence, war is war.

[ArmystrongHOOAH1]

@thephotoqueen well put

[Hapnenkat]

@thephotoqueen Ask a WWII vet.

[rhyso558]

WOW

[JimEllis1975]

Tell you what, These images are heart breaking. I was just listening to the tune, but those pictures really fuck with me.

[RTH615]

It's a different war and a different era.

Victimology. Seems to be the Left's specialty.

Red China = Selma Alabama. Uh, the Selma police didn't run over protesters in tanks. More people died in Tianamin Square than died on 9/11.

[JimEllis1975]

"The Selma police didn't run over protesters in tanks"Lets face it, they would if they could

[BeerMan5000]

total bullshit and utterly untrue, no in fact much fewer people died in tiananmen square than died on 9/11. far, far fewer.

[RTH615]

3000 died on 9/11. Over 5000 died during and immediately after the protests in Tianamin Square.

[549022377]

as a vietnam vet, this song has a lot of truth to it even now with the towellheads.

[anonfromebaumsworld]

@549022377

towel heads......you know being a vet doesn't give license for racism. Be nice to the sand niggers

[joshsgirl211986]

This is a really good song. this should be all the heros song that helped us though alll this shit with 9/11. To the guys over at the war i hope you make it and i hope you get to go see your families.

[Boothbay5]

Would you please explain to me how invading Iraq had anything to do with 911?

Make it good and slow for me beause I can't grasp it.
