Being against the war was not the same as being against the soldiers. Many of them did not have a choice, especially the poor. They were drafted. So it was 1,2,3,4...off to the war. OR become a criminal by not going to war, usually including leaving America to escape it. You who were not part of the protests, part of the "hippie" movement, have no way to understand the oppression not only of the people of Viet Nam but the people of America. These songs were sung to end it. Eventually, we did.

Don't know how old you were during Nam, but clearly you have not matured one whit since then. You are rude, crude and boorish and probably have a few loose screws in the thing sitting on your shoulders. You are simplistic to a fault, "can't have peace without war, can't have love without hate." Really?

Those "hippies" you talk about in such a dismissive manner were instrumental, through their sit-ins, protests, etc., in bringing that awful period in our history to a close.

Now they use paid mercenaries, who are either sick-minded violent low-frequency hybrids, or they mind-control them into killing

.And the latest: drones! .A few of us are awake, maybe that will suffice to implement lasting change~

[Shazza Ford]

Great song. In my Opinion8 protest song blog. People used to care.

What a mentally abnormal thing to say. Along with your other recent comments. You are obviously a mean spirited, unhappy shell of a human. Potentially violent and needing therapy or an institutionalized observation period. Also, when your mother was giving birth to you, someone walking by stopped and said "look...there's a cunt coming out of a cunt's cunt!" Louis CK.
