[savvyscottyboy]

[carlafierro7]

nice song .. but i hope you realize that this is not  The Miracles

[TheTennantfan]

good tribute to all the Vietnam vets :)

[jeanellr]

Thanks for putting this up. To me it means that my uncle didn't die invane. I am glad thanky for the tribute

[50srocknrollfan18]

this doesnt sound like the original. what album is this from? did smokey robinson sing this?

[druhbe1996]

Just Beautiful ! / Made me Cry / I went to college instead of Vietnam / this collage of memories helps me to feel what you feel / thanks for sharing /

[LinebackerBraband]

Jungs/Mädels mal ganz ehrlich das ist sowas von unnötig bei ein Lied so eine Diskussion zu führen. Hört euch einfach das Lied an findet es schön oder nicht ,denk ein zwei Minuten wegen den Bildern an Vietnam und dann gibt ein vernümftiges Kommentar ab ...bitte

ein schönes Lied echt

Gracias skapaul

[50srocknrollfan18]

It sounds like a song for peace, but its a break-up song...

[shadylady216]

Thanks for the tribute. Lost my 1st love 68Nov01. Tears still flow today.

[emmettk]

This is a very nice cover, but is it Smokey or someone else?

[fetzk]

Wie kommt ihr bitte bei dem Lied zu so einer Diskussion??? Vorschlag zur Güte: Klappe halten. Song hören. Gutes fühlen und Gutes tun.

[damngrooveman]

Nur wer zu seiner Vergangeheit steht, ist gefestigt genug und bereit, in der Gegenwart seine Zukunft zu bestimmen.

This video can be a tribut to all fallen soldiers and civilians of all wars around the world.

"All" means the germans included.

May everyone of the fallen rest in peace.

[DarkCentury85]

love this song so much

[damngrooveman]

Why we Germans can not have on youtube a clip like this, for remembering our victims and soldiers of the last great and unnecessary war?

Once we fall against the Americans, nowadays we fall for them - what kind of stupidity is this?

We only want to become free again and militarily neutral by our own new constitution.

No one of us want to die anymore for any war and for anyones interests...are there not enough wounds on our souls and country?

Look at my face for the tracks of us Germans...

[DaCevkoch]

@damngrooveman

stimmt genau

wir sind ja heut immernoch die bööösen nazis die den krieg begonnen haben, obwohl wir ja heutzutage gar nix mehr damit zu tun haben ge

[DarkCentury85]

@damngrooveman

Okay,nenn mir mal bitte kurz eine andere Nation die Genozid in dieser größenordnung begangen hat?

""Look at their faces the tracks of the jews"Du-ru-ru

Aber selbstgerecht wie der Tod,typisch deutsch...

[damngrooveman]

@DarkCentury85

Siehe in die juengere Vergangenheit- Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot und Andere...Aber darum geht es im Kern gar nicht sondern das Recht als Nachkommen auf eine Befriedung der Gegenwart um der Vergangenheit Willen. Heute muss es doch moeglich sein, den eigenen Opfern zu gedenken, ohne gleich seine eigene Existenz als Nation in Frage zu stellen - differenzieren, anstatt immer gleich die Nazikeule zu schwingen, ansonsten ist auch das faschistoid und keinen Deut besser...

[DarkCentury85]

@damngrooveman

Das war ein provokanter witz und zugleich ein deplatziertes statement meinerseits sorry,Aber schau dir gleich mal diese emotionale reaktion deinerseits an.Ich wollte nur auf eine sache hinaus:Wer historisch betrachtet bis zum hals im dreck steckt,sollte nicht unbedingt damit werfen.Sooo lange ist des noch nicht her,aber sagen wir mal 200 jahren dürfen deine nachfahren diese einstellung haben Deal?

[damngrooveman]

@DarkCentury85 Wenn die Geschichte einen in die Knie zwingt, hat man immer die Wahl unten zu bleiben oder wieder aufzustehen. Ich mache das Letzte, aus politischer und national-patriotischer Ueberzeugung. Es entwickelt sich etwas, ohne Anleihen an die unsaeglichen 12 Jahre machen zu muessen. Deutschland hat 950 weitere Jahre einer schoenen und bemerkenswerten Geschichte. National ist etwas anderes als nationalistisch. Otto von Bismarck - fuer heute.

[DarkCentury85]

@damngrooveman

Vergiss bei deinem kleinen Pseudo-patriotischen ausbruch nicht deine erbschuld.Waren deine vorfahren bei der SS oder warum bist du so ignorant Selbstgerecht?

[damngrooveman]

@DarkCentury85 Meinen Vater (Sozialdemokrat) holten die Nazis mit Waffengewalt von der 8koepfigen Familie und seinem wichtigen Bauernhof in Westpreussen fuer die umliegenden Doerfer drei Mal an die Ostfront. Das Gleiche machten sie mit seinen Bruedern und Onkeln, einige kamen nie zurueck. Stalin liess ihn nach der dritten Gefangennahme 8 Jahre im Arbeitslager arbeiten, bis er frei kam. Ich habe welche Erbschuld? In meiner Familie gab es Mitglieder in der SS? Lies einmal deutsche Geschichte.

"Look at their faces for the tracks of the jews"

[damngrooveman]

@DarkCentury85

Ich bin weit nach dem 2.WK geboren worden und weil ich vor dem BVerfG gegen den Euro und GR-Schirm klage, bin ich ein "Nazi"? Weil ich deutsche Interessen wichtiger finde, als die Alimentierung anderer EU Staaten, wo man mit 55 anstatt wie bei uns, mit 65 in Rente geht, bin ich ein "Nazi"? Politische Bildung beginnt dort, wo fremdbestimmte Umerziehung nicht mehr wirkt. Politische Muendigkeit beginnt dort, wo man erkennt, dass man das Recht hat zu sagen was man moechte...Ich bin.

[Asskicker32294]

Because they are killing innocent people on behalf of the evil politicians and corporations of this country who are only interested in controlling the vast energy resources and strategic land and sea routes of that part of the world. The Americans are not fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and Pakistan for our freedom. Anyone who believes that is a brainwashed jackass. They are fighting and dying so wealthy bastards can make even more money. Get real ok?

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

hey mate, that was only a question ok^^

but what do you expect soldiers do do?

sittin at home while holding their dicks?

its their job to get the job done there, where there sent to

and dont get me wrong, i aint no "call of duty, war is cool guy" ok but i think its better to fight terrorism in countries like afghanistan or iraq than to do nothin and just watch how these cowards kill innocent people all over the world you know

only my opinion

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch Look my friend I'm not as rabid as I sound but I am 56 and I lived through and just barely missed being drafted during the Vietnam war which history has proved to have been unjust on the part of the USA. My point is that THE USA IS NOT FIGHTING TERRORISM IN AFGHANISTAN..at best fighting terrorism is a small side business which much effort isn't put into. Our leaders are lying to us now just as they lied to us during the George Bush regime. The wars over there are about making money

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

sure thing

ive got to admit youre right, draft is a dumbass idea

ive to say too, that you really got more knowledge about the political situation in the US than me, since im from germany

but in our country we got the same discussion you know

almost everyday its says in the news that some soldier got killed

BUT i also think that theres a big difference between our countries

see, the "bundeswehr" is mainly "helping" people i think

i mean helping like, building wells, etc,

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch I've heard some wonderful, heartening news from Germany lately about the anti-nuclear protesters some of whom have chained themselves to railroad tracks in order to stop trains from France full of radioactive waste material bringing them to dump sites in abandoned salt mines in your country. I applaud such dedication and bravery and my eyes are wet with tears at the thought of their courage.

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

yeah, thats right

they wanted to stop the "castor" trail

i think its a good thing, because me at least dont want some radioactive dump, and its only a matter of time untill something fucks up with our "nuclear factories" (dont know the word, assume you know what i mean)

i my eyes, mrs. merkel is in many ways really uncapable

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch Frau Merkel is a nuclear waste lover apparently

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

i dont really know what the US army is doing there

would be glad if you would tell me

i always like to gain more knowlegde^^

(btw. i dont know if its written correctly, so pardon my grammar)

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch In my opinion the US armed forces have several missions in that part of the world: to defend the projected fuel pipelines from the Central Asian Republics which must go through Afghanistan to get to Karachi to bring oil and natural gas to the Indian Ocean so China and others can ship them home...the main reason though could be that the American "contractors" are paying out big bribes to politicians out of the enormous profits from their dubious businesses

in those unfortunate places

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

so its mostly bout money than?

do you think the german army is doing it for the same reasons?

(no sarcasm)

id say theire main objective is to help them folks back there isnt it?

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch The German Army is there I presume for primarily military reasons or your governmnent would have sent engineers and humanitarian volunteers instead of soldiers, nein? According to my sources on the internet as of October 8, 2010 48 German soldiers have been killed and over 200 wounded in military action. Perhaps they believie they are fighting terrorism but to the Afghans they like the Americans are the terrorists

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

48?

i remember a couple of months ago, 3 soldiers from my hometown got killed in afghanistan

even angie was there

(a big honor ey^^)

isnt the bundeswehr a part of the ISAF

isnt that a humanitarian organisation?

all i heard was that they were helping them with farming, building wells

so helping society mainly

but i think the US troops get a lot more "action" right?

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch Hey komrade, I'm sorry about the guys from your town but millions of your people died back in the thirties and forties because of people like Hitler, Jodl, Keital, Krupp, etc. The American leaders may not be as savage in public as the Nazis were but they essentially have the same goals. There have to be token charity organizations there to help bolster the lies of the real reasons for the occupation

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

well i wouldnt say the american leaders are as bad as them nazis were you know,

but lets get back to vietnam

i still think they (americans) had the right intentions

like to help the countries bordering to china fight communism

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch Why is it that America is not fighting communism today then? Why is Communist China our best pal and biggest business partner. If communism was evil then it must be evil now no? Read some stuff on The Pentagon Papers and listen to videos of Noam Chomsky on the subject of the Vietnam war. Killing the Indians, enslaving the Africans, and the Vietnam War are all the same kind of American crimes. Wake up meine freund wenig naiv.

[Cami1the1Critic]

Beautiful. You can't get this music anymore.

[jones2671]

Platoon 4 ever

for all marines who die in vietnam

you are the best

[TheForsythek]

@mrlt1 yeah r.i.p to the vietnam soldiers seen as though it was there country that got attacked!

[Asskicker32294]

Why show all these murderers doing their job while listening to Smokey?

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

what murderers?

[Asskicker32294]

@DaCevkoch The ones in the American military uniforms 

[DaCevkoch]

@Asskicker32294

why do you think thyere murderers?

[griff2197]

get some get some get some

[Larrychek]

Powerful video and song!

[ajax515]

If JFK had not been murdered by the CIA we would have never been in this shit ass war.

[mrlt1]

R.I.P to all the solders that died in nam

[Markecephus]

@mrlt1

 Indeed, Indeed My heart goes out to those brave men and women, and to the families of the fallen. This is a really good video, and thanks to the original poster!

Zachbachisfu.........You should have been in Vietnam, against your will. The military draft was taking almost all of us then; ( students, Medical Doctors, nurses).  You might have a different perspective if you could view it from some rice paddy.

[medickorea1973]

Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into this video. I usually try to forget what happened over there.

Sincerely...a Combat Medic

[markoj34]

@ 1:47 Get Some!!!!!!

[UK973]

RIP To all who died in Vietnam, and not just the Americans. Remember the millions of Vietnamese who lost their lives MILLIONS

[ReggiesReply]

A great scene from Apocalypse Now.. when the crew of the gunboat are all smoking. catching rays on the deck and they sing this song or another soul classic. That scene is legendary. You can't keep good men down; we all owe the Vietnam vets a debt we can never repay. Never in history was success in war measured by "body count", and Washington is still sending our best and brightest out to fight for a piece of high ground one day, and ordering the troops to abandon it the next.

[sc4nn0r]

The song is amazing! But why must they fight? And against what where they doing it? I do not understand that war. Greatings from the new Germany.....

[isaiahman1234567]

bad ass

[wembley05]

Great song! Saw Martha Reeves, Mary Wilson, The Miracles, The 4 Tops and The Temptations! They were fantastic! Perth 2010!

"Platoon"  is exelent movie... sometimes I think americans are not as crapy as they pretend to be...

[sweniken]

Considering current world relations, I'll take that as a huge complement. Thanks!

[filipohrn95]

the best song ever

[malunguinho]

God bless all of the soldiers, nurses and personnel who were in Vietnam. May the ones who lost their lives rest in peace, may their families and loved ones feel comfort. God bless all of you Vets who struggled and fought so bravely, who lay awake with fear, who sacrificed so much and received nothing in return. God heal your hearts, your pains, your fears, your worries, you all deserved the utmost respect on coming home. God bless you all and provide for you.

[knighter2k8]
