This song always strikes a cord with my dad, especially that part where the singer said you would be dead before your time is due.My dad was drafted into a war he was against and he truly believed he was going to die there. I try to imagine him in the jungle hearing this, but that feeling is just something I could never imagine.
war is meaningless,evil, and causes suffering to innocent children and families and obedient soldiers..the ones who start it sit comfortably in their homes with blood on their hands and dead conscience.All power and greed.
My high school boyfriend quit school to go. I dated a guy with PTSD while he was on leave. My cousin committed suicide while on leave. All beautiful young men who thought they were doing their patriotic duty. I hate our Government for what it did to a generation of young people
