@walksthroughstorms The US didn't start the war, you guys just have a habit of getting involved in other peoples conflicts.

I want to say thank you to the Australian's for serving in the Vietnam war with the the U.S. and I would also like to say sorry for your losses for a war we should have never started.

I was 17. 101 Airborne Divison. 327recon.

There is actually a U.S. airborne unit nicknamed "The Herd" - 173rd Airborne Brigade, which served in Vietnam from 1967 - 1971, from north of Saigon in the south to Kontum area in the central highlands.
I realize this is an Aussie song about Aussie troops. The reputation of the Aussies is that they were some mean muvvafuckers. They killed a lot of NVA and VC. Best soldiers in the world.

@Jadeaffection I think you're right. This is their interpretation of an Aussie classic, and they do pay tribute to the original. Honestly as a descendant of a Vietnam Vet, this version is one of the best, it does the original justice and yet, conveys the same message as the original..Respect to John, Redgum and The Herd

good music and clip

It is unfortunate that the contribution/experiences of Australians in the Vietnam war are often forgotten or overlooked. Thankyou for your service. I know many Americans owe their lives to you all.

@beetz1979 Thanks! *blushes* I don't get up on my soap-box much so it's good to know that, when I do, I make some sort of sense. xx

@Jadeaffection Well Said friend, I much prefer the original, but I love Aussie hip hop. RESPECT :-)

the hip hop wrecks the video

Its like you people don't give a crap about these people. Many of them didn't even sign up to go to Vietnam, they war just conscripted. so can you guys shut the hell up and respect the people who died for us.

I think we all need to just stop and realise that the song is about far more important things than if you like hip/hop. I know (having seen the making of doco) this clip was made by The Herd for their version of the song. I've heard the original (I may even prefer it) but I think that you would be amiss to say these boys are being disrespectful or doing anything other than making the words/message of such a intense and poignant song more accessible to a younger audience by covering it.
