Here's a really good example of a song that gets used by both sides .At the time everybody knew this was a honest to god anti war song , no question about it . 20 or so years later when war and patriotism became popular again , all that's needed to rally the people around your cause is a good a patriotic song of course , cause there ain't nothin more patriotic than BORN IN THE USA, now is there. Wake up people.
So you are aware that the message is one that is anti war and anti Vietnam War, yet you put these images with it anyway? I am struggling to find even a hint of knowledge in you're reasoning
These generals are all terrorists!!! Why do you praise people who are killing women and children?
Gunner and legend? What poor fellow did he "gun down"?
@Uploader: "I am awareof the message Bruce Springsteen..." so you are aware and still you choose to make a video which completely goes against what Springsteen says in the song?
South Vietnamese President Diem was just as bad as Ho Chi Minh if not more so.
Diem was an autocratic dictator who practiced extreme nepotism through government appointments (making his illiterate wife secretary of education, or making his brother foreign minister) and staged phony elections (which he always won by ridiculous margins,he persecuted the Buddhist population (he was a Catholic convert), he forcibly conscripted men and women into his army,
And King George The Imbecile (George W Bush) appointed a corrupt theocrat (Scalia) and a neo-conservative hack who is in the pockets of business and industry (Roberts) to the supreme court.
Now the US has had idiotic rulings like Citizens United which literally make it possible for a president to be in the service of a few wealthy backers like the Koch brothers who simply keep writing checks to their Super-Pacs.
this song is a very subtle criticism on the war. just listen.
