SONG: WAR
PERFORMER: EDWIN STARR
REAL PICS OF VIETNAM WAR PROTEST
*This video was a small part of a larger presentation for a class. I'm not trying to make any kind of political statement! The project was about music during the 60s early 70s and how it brought people together, became more political, etc. And focused alot on Motown. I decided to post this portion of the presentation because I just really like the song. :-)

Actually it was all about the Vietnam War. It was released in 1970, but the song was written solely for the purpose of displaying the anger and distaste that many had about that war. The Temptations were originally going to do the song but weren't prepared to be that vocal about the war, so Edwin Starr volunteered.

War is very good for killing terrorists before they kill you. Not much else though.

This song WAS NOT so much about the Vietnam war (the opinion of most). It was actually about the KENT STATE UNIVERSITY SHOOTINGS where students were killed by the National Guard in response to their protesting our involvement in the Vietnam War.

@16pillars-actually the song was written before the Kent State Shooting ever occured so it was actually about the war.

Except perhaps physical fitness.
A re-appreciation of good food after returning.
More funding for Clinical Psychiatry.
And ironically, Edwin Starr's career.
Sorry I always answer rhetorical questions lol
