[StephenHardyMusic]

[TheWATProductions]

if a 5 year old plays black ops and goes i like this song................ well mission success 1 less justin beiber fan to worry about

[da9el1]

@TheWATProductions If anyone let their kid play Black Ops, their stupid and irresponsible..

[starfoxstarwolf5423]

@da9el1 i play black ops and im the valedictorian of my class... your a dumbass

[da9el1]

@starfoxstarwolf5423 Good for you, I play Black Ops too.. Just saying that if you let your KID play theese kinds of games then are you irresponsible? Do you know the effects that violent FPS games have on your subconcious mind, especially young children? How it desencetizes? How it effects moral?

[starfoxstarwolf5423]

@da9el1 I'm like 14 dumbass. I have great grades and I have 100 percent in conduct. most of my friends spend like 5 hours a day playing nigger ops and they aren't fucked up. still... you're a dumbass.

[lotusmazda]

@TheWATProductions you are a legened lol

[BlindingLightsProd]

@TheWATProductions If a 5 year old plays black ops, thats trouble enough..besides, they should hear this song playing Battlefield Vietnam, not black ops :)

[Projectorigin09]

official vietnam song



[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

I find it ironic that the song is anti-war and yet all war games have it on the soundtrack xD

[DJCDavisDubstep]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC Yeah. It was a popular song played by Marines during the Cold War. They played it over loudspeakers at the bases as propaganda.

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

@DJCDavisDubstep its a bad ass song. Most guys didn't want to be there anyways. The draft and all. If you don't know the lyrics very well it sounds very patriotic.

[DJCDavisDubstep]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC Yeah. "Oooh that red, white, and blue." One of the best songs ever written.

[toysoldier91ADDPS3]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC this was the main song for veitnam idk why but it was haha

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

@toysoldier91ADDPS3 because it sounded like a very patriotic song. If you don't listen very closely a couple times while listening to the song you won't hear some of the lyrics. Doesn't this song make you love your country? By listening to it while not really paying attention to the lyrics? That was the point.

[TehBloodyYank556]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC most soldiers (ans civilians) love this song. and after being a soldier for about a week or to wouldnt you be anti war too?

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

@TehBloodyYank556 but a lot of people now a days take it as a patriotic song during the Vietnam war. And they didn't have youtube videos with lyrics back then either haha.

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

@TehBloodyYank556 i understand that. i was just saying some people mistake this song as being very patriotic for the war effort because they do not listen to the lyrics. Its a fight against the draft and how unfair it was.

[coolmanpacker11]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC haha yea its just cuz of the timing. its on battlefield vietnam



[J03M4mm45H0u53]

@WafflesAndBPNLINC because it was a popular song during the vietnam war, but you probably already knew that

[dethpup]

this isnt an anti war song first of all. do a little more research its about how this boy wasnt born for anything other then the daft CCR isnt aint anti militant they love our boys

[Champraves311]

@dethpup Holy crap, you couldn't be anymore wrong. John Fogerty was one of the biggest anti-War protest artists of his time. What you claim is damning, Fogerty would smack you in the face if he heard you say that. Read the Rolling Stone interview he gave a couple of years ago. He's basically on par with Neil Young.

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

No they are anti draft which was considered anti war. They also said about how unfair it was. hence i aint no senators son no. I aint no fortunate one. They love the boys. which is why you would be anti war? Not want to lose any of our boys? eh? makes sense.

[needlerbug]

LONG LIVE THE USA MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSammo1]

@needlerbug At least the mother fuckers that run the world will live long.

[mrkradjr]

@r3surecti0n

>pushing us out of their land

We sure as hell pulled out didn't we? I think that qualifies as pushing us out. Which counts as losing.

and three words: The TET Offensive

[lazarevic95]

wow every other comment has black ops in it and it is fucking annoying

[DomAmalfi]

Forrest Gump, Black Ops, everything dealing with combat helicopters and things make this song epic.

[7Kellen7]

Im sick and tired of sitting in a movie theatre and people naming guns theyve seen in black ops and now in cant listen to a good song with out people making gay references to black ops

[nicksbuds]

If one more person says that CCR mad fortunate son for black ops im gonna loose it bc CCR wrote that song in the 70's people they havn't wrote a song in 20 years ok now just bc its in black ops doesnt mean thats why they made it i really wish people still listened to classic rock....not saying they do listen to rock and saying green day that craps not rock its fake i wish i was born in the 70's sometimes i dont belong to this generation

[dlracer2]

Hey you three fuckers that shouldn't have been born. Go kill yourselves!

[AndrewzDescent]

Vietnam was nothing more than America cleaning up the mess France left. It's not the Vietnamese fault, if you go to Vietnam today they are all really cool, hospitable people, whereas the French will treat you like a peasant.

[0MikeOwens0]

@AndrewzDescent You realize we lost the Vietnamese conflict? Wasn't really a war at all really.

[AndrewzDescent]

@0MikeOwens0 Yes we did lose the Vietnam War. And yes it was a war, just because we lost it, it doesn't mean it doesn't quantify as "war". If you check the dictionary, if satisfies several definitions of "war", though I am sure the ideologues will look for the one it doesn't.

I was remarking on how warm the Vietnamese are compared to the sour French. Vietnam was a mistake.

[WafflesAndBPNLINC]

@AndrewzDescent we settled a treaty with North Vietnam that they wouldn't invade South Vietnam. They broke the agreement and invaded. We brought peace for 3 years.

[RaptureStudios]

@TheDeadZzone that would be a good story but bakersfield is fucking awful

[Rufio60]

Thumbs up for Bad Company 2:VIETNAM!!!!

[Beirutien]

Some folks are born to wave the flag,

Oooh they're red white and blue!

USA #1

[qounqer]

@Beirutien um bro you do know this is totally anit war right?

[Slayersamone]

Every time i hear this i think about riding in a huey flying low over trees. GET SOME!!!

[crgx92]

How the fuck could anyone dislike this song?

[kornythegreat]

@starfoxstarwolf5423 thank you

[linkmand]

@starfoxstarwolf5423 thank you for serving our country.

[msixfreakx92]

@starfoxstarwolf5423 Thank You For Serving For Are Coundry

[kstar1223]

3 dislikes!!!! yeah

[carbonnerd2]

3 people have bad aim...

[stevenownsgawek]

it is impossible to listen to this song and not get pumped.

[powerease]

1965 Vietnam, 2011 Libya ......the Empire exercising power leading to its decline

[AmericanPatriot22597]

Fuck Anti-Military People. If the Politicians didn't get involved we would've won Vietnam.

Did you guys know that the Vietcong were 1 month away from surrendering when we pulled out because of Liberal Hippy Pussies?

[DArcilan]

@AmericanPatriot22597

If politicians didn't get involved there wouldn't have been a Vietnam War in the first place. At least that war helped them build businesses in third world countries, that way i can get clothes cheaply made in sweatshops from Wal-Mart

[blindknifewunderbar]

@DArcilan

If politicians didn't get involved Vietnam would have fallen to communism. America would've been one step closer to losing the Cold war. What the U.S Government should have done was support Ho Chi Minh when he came asking America to help the Vietminh liberate Vietnam from France.

Instead we turned our back on Ho Chi Minh, but unfortunately The Soviet Union Did not. If we had warded off France, Vietnam probably would have become Democratic. We aided France maintain control over Vietnam

[DArcilan]

@blindknifewunderbar

I don't really think there was a clear winner of the cold war. The Soviet Union ended, but the US dropped alot of its ideals and morals. It seems like the only shining times for the US comes from facing heavy obstacles and having to come together as one.

I don't believe in communism or democracy though. Both are failed systems with many flaws. No system that is being used nowadays can be perfect. Humanity is human, we all have flaws. That's what makes the world beautiful.

[AdmiralGST]

@AmericanPatriot22597 Politics do not mix with war, we should have listened to General Macarthur and gone straight up to China. Probably would have made China a better place.

Even though this song is anti war, I still love.

[qounqer]

@AmericanPatriot22597 lol that was like 50 years ago, and actually our limited war in vietnam was actually more because of china and the USSR then it was any one in the U.S. Basically we where worried if our tanks came rolling over the dmz we where worried that the chinese or worse the soviets would come to help there communist friends like china did in korea, so before you start blaming liberal pussies for every fucking war we've lost why don't actually figure out why we lost

[AmericanPatriot22597]

Vietnam Baby!!!

[ZMan1209]

I heard this song from my parents when I was too freakin' young to play video games, or really understand Forest Gump. But when I hear this song in Black Ops or Forest Gump my face just lights up. :D <--- like that

[MrRationalThink]

I personally think it's awesome that Treyarch included such great music. They are amazing songs with political meanings that should never be lost in history.

[spaceshig]

I heard this before that gay ass shit we call black ops

[zmaj54]

@spaceshig congratulations, youre officially cool now. jk youre lame.

[supadonkay]

regardless of where you heard this song, it is still good, why can't we all just love forest gump and bfbc2 at the same time.

[willysteez]

@supadonkay oh hai

[quas420]

fuck forest gump fuck all those gay ass video games you come to youtube to listen to the song not talk about faget ass movies and video games

[CardShark989]

fuck being a citizen im joining the air force for active duty in 4 years this song inspired me
