Oh my god.you're good. 55555 missed this one somehow.!!! that would have been a real shame, I had to come looking for this. not shared my way, to the best of my knowledge , oh Bobbie.................I loved it , gtreat music, it is gripping , just perfect.
I may abe repeating myself and may have viewed this one before. I am looking again and even if I commented before I wanted to say one word to you now.
Hi Bobbie, This is an Incredible piece of work, very moving and tragic. I come from a long line of military family, so this is almost very personal to me. War does change people, war changes everything! Excellent Quote Tps607! Congrats on this Amazing Production Bobbie. I hope one day the world will know peace forever. atb to you always, Missy.
A video that poignantly depicts the force that is war. Such an unwanted element in our world. The scenes from "Apocolypse Now" truly highlight the madness behind the intent, lest we forget!
Deeply moving piece of work Bobbie. I cannot put it better than Tom and I feel that it isn't my place to try. My words don't cover this. All I can leave you on this one are stars. ★★★★★ Hope that's ok.x
....a train of thought at the end of winter and as spring and new life emerges.... Lessons we should be learning? It seems that our hearts are destined to break each passing year, era,decade,centenary....
The army.... A part of me wants to rebel... but then there is this other side of me that admires their bravery and selflessness. Geat vid. Great song. You do pick 'em girl!
A Masterpiece Bobbie. Demonstrates the sheer madness that war is and what it can do to a soldier's mind, heart and soul. One can never go through an experience like this and ever be the same again....and yet we expect them to come home and go about life as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened....now THAT is madness. The quotes below by John f. Kennedy and John Lennon are very fitting. Thank You Bobby; with all of my respect.
Great movie footage and i especially like that it really involved no "shoot 'em up" scenes! The song lyrics and tune were touching with the images of fear and falling apart.. Enjoyed this! I was a soldier for a few years back when I was younger and no matter what, it stays with you forever! :) Thanks Bobbie!! xo
Members of my family have went to war and some have even died in war,and the ones that came back were never really the same,i guess they seen things that no human being should never have to see. A soldier always fights another mans war,they are controlled by the elites and minipulated because they love their country and want to defend it. I think a part of their souls dies,it is as if they have crossed the rubicon and never to return. Thanks for the share great video.
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."~John F. Kennedy~
Bobbi.....the haunting image serves as reminder. My brain is photographic, and catures things I somtime don't want to remember.....that is a good thing....outstanding artistry as always, here. I know , in knowing my Pa, that it does...he descibed as hell on earth....so why do we go there?........we are no better than children, in our settlements of differences......big love to you...the music is lovely.....appreciate more info. ;-)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If the words and stories of soldiers were shared more publicly it would become impossible to recruit others to undertake such obscenities, which is ultimately for the benefit of those who seek power & profit.
Unfortunately many soldiers return ruined people & my heart goes out to them. This very much suits the larger agenda.

@explorer2101: Thanks for the reply. The quantity and quality of the comments left on this video only serve to reinforce its' impact.
I am not a citizen of the USA - however, I did study the history and developement of the USA and some of its' great leaders past and present. I've collected some memorable quotes ... I like this one too:
"War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today"
Those men and women risking their lives to make our world a better place to live are truly remarkable and I salute their bravery to achieve ONE PURPOSE - 'PEACE'
Bobbie, this video is simply stunning and it truly captured the human emotions in a condition no one would truly want to be in.
A 10/10 - for the images
A 10/10 - for the outstanding music choice
A 10/10 - for a job well done

Powerful video Bobbie, very well produced. I am a Vietnam vet and it continues to amaze me that our elected leaders fail to learn from history and continue sacrifice our sons and daughters in Afganastan as we did in Vietnam. There is no glory in war only the death of innocence. :(
We all hate & love something...opinions, differences, religions, races, sexes, the list goes on....we have one crazy world where deceptive politicians rule....you can't point at one nation or nationality.....its when we look at ourselves that it gets scary..it is better to love & understand self then you will reach others on a different plateau....this doesn't work always...John Lennon said "YOU can change the world"
Bobbie: brilliant video that makes us stop & think & hopefully change
Fantastic Bobbie. Most people think they have an idea of how hellish war is, but my dad was never the same, and all he ever spoke of WWII, till the end of his life was, "In war, nobody wins."
Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~Charles Sumner
Sadly, most wars are carefully calculated business strategies, which consistently desecrate Divine order...The only ones who win are those who create them behind the scenes...
Ahh "humanity", I am so tired of your insanity ..there's a price to pay
For all the egotistic games you played
The world you made
Is gone...nothing can change us,
no one can save us from ourselves... the muffled sounds of war are deafening.. your video is disturbingly beautiful, awesome track ! (o: May you always walk in sunshine. Gypsy
That was a stunning production. Your editing of the video with the music was excellent. I am liking this war theme that is floating about. For some reason, I want to hear more shouts against war. I would love to hear more and more people who want an end to war. Maybe it could never be, but I think that it definitely could never be if we don't believe it could be. I said before that I believe that all war could end, so at least the count is one so far.
Beautifully disturbing...shaking the dust from the compartments long sealed and buried,thumping out the dance of the dark side which we cannot deny...though we try *****
Fantastique. and yes you have to look at it as the loss of innocense,there is something indecent about war, that it happens at all in the first place is a failure of all that is decent and good, no one but no one who goes to war comes back the same, no one but no one.all war is pure ruin
I LOVE that book! Especially the story, "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong" --which was made into a movie called, "A Soldier's Sweetheart." Great vid as always--5*and faved ;)
