@muztard I have a southern cross tattoo. You now why I got it? Because my family came out on the second fleet. And have fought in EVERY war that Australia has been in. Died at gallipoli, fought at the Somme. That, is my nod, to everyone, that has given me the life that I am SO lucky to have. You can call me a bogan, i'll be proud. I know what that tattoo means.

I love this! Music in any form has the ability to tell a story. This is telling a very important tale to the youth of Australia! Love the Herd and Triple J!

1:29 was a cool bit. He got the chorus around the wrong way. But their cover did not rape the song. I like it. They did it right.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THERE RACIST? WHEN THERES AN INDIAN, ITALIAN, MAORI IN THERE BAND?
This song serves as a telling reminder to every bogan with a Southern Cross tattoo what real patriotism cost young men in the past.
If you think it is offensive to the Vets, take a copy down your local RSL with a listing of the lyrics. See what they think about it. This cover serves to bring to a new generation an idea of what is the real price paid by our men in uniform.

They don't defile anything. I was only 19 dealt with the fact that the soldiers sent to Vietnam were just kids haunted by horrific memories upon their return.
It in no way devaules their efforts and sacrifices and doesn't seek to politicise the issue either. If you feel that this song is an argument against war, perhaps you have a guilty conscience and would prefer the television images of jets blowing things up rather than being confronted with the human cost paid by your own countrymen!
