From a namvet .... it would be nice to dream about a totally peaceful world ... but there are bad people that wish many people harm. Like it or not ... the USA has chosen to be the world policeman.
The beggining anouncer voice of this song sounded like he said " We Sending Bodies To War." But , I know now & realized he said "We're Sending Boys To War." The accent threw me off. ... May as well be We're Sending "bodies" To War. That is what they end up being in the end.
I'm totally lost for words after hearing the song and watching the video. The song/video made me want to scream. A true brilliance! No word can describe it!
I am a big PH fan and it's poignant that 25 years on he revisits the song again including the british. I have about 6 mixes of the orginal and release in 1995 so looking forward to the 2010 mix to finish it off. Agree with him that this should be the final time he gets involved with remixing 19 - let it go now.
There are several vets associations who say it was in fact 19 in Vietnam,
As for Afghanistan after reading Paul's explanation about this version, he doesn't say it was 19 in Afghanistan , but quotes the The Officer who says the age of the soldiers he is taking to war are 19, guess that point can't be disputed,
Any way Well done Mr Hardcastle, pity more people don't hdo more to get this out in the open,
I got the original video on my Hardcastle playlist...Like I said on Face Paul, u're an xample of what it means 2 b an artist...2 move the crowd in more ways than 1...do ur thing as always.....Elbert
Not sure how they are gonna take it matey. Some will get it others might not understand what your trying to say if anything. Some will miss the point by miles. Well done for trying.
Hope the release goes well, Paul. It is a hard call. We all want to support the troops but wonder where it will end. It does sound all too familiar. I don't think there is any lack of respect for the efforts of the troops in questioning how to deal with the problem. There is no doubt that much of what the west has done is inflammatory to many in that area. But the values of the fundamentalists, in their oppressionof women and all human rights, is abhorrent. Where and how will it end?
Paul, great remake. As part of the Vietnam era, I lost many close friend to a useless war. Thanks for posting.

The line that gave me chills was "they fought the longest war in American history." Afghanistan just surpassed Afghanistan for that title.

Depends on where you look about Vietnam,
There are several vets associations who say it was in fact 19 in Vietnam,
As for Afghanistan after reading Paul's explanation about this version, he doesn't say it was 19 in Afghanistan , but quotes the The Officer who says the age of the soldiers he is taking to war are 19, guess that point can't be disputed,
