Every young man dreaded the day they opened their mailbox and saw the black bordered envelope from the local draft board. My heart sank when I opened mine. Thanks to Roger McGuinn for these haunting lyrics.

'sky pilot, how high can you fly? but you'll never reach the sky,' is true now with mindless drone bombing as it was in vet nam with napalm and agent orange
( Shines as shone the sun on good and evil while napalm rained dioxin tainted genocide..) america lost the moral prerogative when our drunken forebears committed genocide against the indigenous and incinerated Hiroshima, and after the horror was shown, Nagasaki. the u.s, will never regain the moral preogative-ever!

u.s. terrorist: with over 900 military bases worldwide, the drone bombing of innocent civilians and because of its history of unilateral militarism, exampled by incursions into Pakistan, and Iraq/Afghanistan, Haiti, the occupation and subjugation of Hawaii, the Philippines, S.E. Asia, and Japan, including bloody forays into Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama and Grenada, Chile, Ecuador, and El Salvador etc., not least in Africa while driving populations everywhere to terrorism in defending themselves.

How many guys died in the Nam war? 56,000? 58,000?
And for WHAT? What a waste of young lives, being used as death pawns.

You realize that only 25% of the men drafted actually fought in Vietnam,75% of us were enlisted and volunteered to fight over there. Most of the draftees either went to Germany or Korea

I was already a conscientious objector when this came out, but it is a very special song for me. Peace and Love, Terry
