Your interpretation- thanks for sharing your astonishing talent. Baez, Donovan, Dylan- this leaves them trite & overly marketed. Thanks!

@hidalgodaniel No, no, no you're missing the point. It's not all of us, it's not " no one", and it's certainly not me. It's very specific people who are morally responsible. Politicians, generals and soldiers, they're all complicit of murder.
What I love about the song is that it's brave enough to actually call individual soldiers on their own responsibility. The "troops" are murderer, always were, always will be.

Donovan copped out on this song when he changed the words. They originally said "He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame
But his orders come from far away no more
They come from HIM
& you and me"
Not "from here & there and you & me".

@dang9669 I wasn't aware Buffy Sainte Marie wrote this song. In this case, it makes even more sense, as she was born just after the end of World War 2. I don't think this song is putting blame just on those who sign up for war. It's the UNIVERSAL soldier, and his orders come from far away no more.
