@anOPINIONATEDsob yeah, and it doesn't need to be. because the new war is civilian casualties without a dead enlisted man. who ever is getting killed, let it not be us doing the murdering.

I had a professor that was in the riverine force, He said the body counts that were given for VC dead would have been more accurate if VC stood for Vietnamese civillian. Don't know if that is true.

Nam tought me one thing of socially redeeming value, Blood is red and dead is forever no matter whose side your on or the color of your skin or the Gods you may or may not believe in. A bullet is the great equalizer!

The picture at 0:35. The horrors of war right there. Death hasn't changed at all. There has been so much blood shed on this planet and more is about to be shed.

We've had Baez, Dylan et al but for protest songs - this one wins easily - what a legacy.

1965 was a great year because I was born :)) The Year of the snake.

Well, as all soldiers are trained to, you all do what you are trained to do and so there's only something to be proud of as veterans.....that time was horrible there and so, only comments on the song....there are many better examples of the same number....!!
and to all soldiers: Bless you all !!

@highvelocity2 Thanks for serving. You have no idea the respect I have for my veterans. The war was bad, I agree, and nobody can pay back the debt they owe the veterans for their service. I respect the veterans for their service and for their courage. And for the things they were told they "didn't do".

To all those that served, my thanks



@Gezoes 58 years old. Vietnam veteran and proud of my service. I'm not certain that any war is justified but we did what our country asked of us. Think ill of us if you will but until you've been there, don't judge us.

Did not understand this song in 69 when I came back from Nam but now I wish I can forget those horrible things that went on over there. I was just to young to see all that. I'm 63 now and still cant get the images out of my head. Dont always belive what "they" tell you.
