pearlcox-yeah,I know Steve Earle did it.I have had the tape for many years. Idiot that I am though,..I didnt think to read who the band was.I got it sent to me to review before it was released.So,while I was a Pogues fan,I had never heard of Steve Earle until then.Sometimes ya have to look at the tape credits,huh? Lol! And,yes,it is way cool that it's Steve with the Pogues.Theres a video of them recording this song here as well. :)

@foxpointlake Substitute one word and this song is as relevant today as it ever was. Change Vietnam to Afganistan

@ChimeraAZ It is a Steve Earle Song form Copperhead Road. If you read the credits in Copperhead Road, you will see that the Pogues was his band for the album. How cool is that?

The song is a history lesson. The first two verses are about WW II. The narrator is an American fighter pilot based in England - fighting the Germans. The last verse switches to the point of view of the grandson. He compares the fact that when his 'granddaddy' returned from WW II he was a 'hero throughout this land'. But when he himself returns from Vietnam, nobody seems to care.
Pure songwriting genius by Steve Earle, nice work by the Pogues.
