Magwa Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Now I know many of you probably have no Idea what the hell I am talking about and have never heard this song I was 18, and It was just before boot camp that this song came out so have a listen but look what someone else added to this song it is pretty sobering with everything that is happening today what has really changed? be sure to catch the phrase at 5.20.. and remember our soliders from Viet Nam, they deserve way more than they have gotten......

Armed Eye Doc Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 She is. Just like John Kerry who badmouthed soldiers after he got home and then tried to play up his service when was politically advantageous. I feel a special kindness towards Vietnam vets even though I had no family involved in the war. Most went over with a true sense of patriotic duty only to get sh!t on when they came home. They likely grew up with stories from parents, uncles and others about the pride associated with defeating Hitler and expected similar treatment. I do what I can when I can for these people.

sketch Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Im way behind the times and this is the reason i cherish my time with the vet! We dont talk much about past time, but He loves going to the range and letting loose! Many haved served and most have lost more and survived. I cant give more than respect and never forget! Thank you magwa! Ill take it in and keep shooting! The vet already knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I had that song on vinyl. Vietnam took a lot of the guys and family from my neighborhood. The guys that came back were never the same. God bless our Veterans and our troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me either my dad is the oldest in his family, he graduated in 72'. I was told once when you l hear a vet from that era talk you listen because it's not somthing that happens often. One night my buddies Dad gotta few old styles in him and told us some crazy shit, my buddy and his sister were adopted, I wondered if it was because of being exposed to agent orange and what not. My high school concoler was also a veitnam vet also a super nice guy but odd always talked in the third person. He streight up said that agent orange fucked his life. and I know that song but never in that perspective, one thing I'm greatful for is the vast array of music I was exposed to as a kid, I can appreciate just about anything Edited February 26, 2017 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
