I take this song as,the vietnamese in the vietnam war, did not know who they were killing. just simply doing what they were told. and about how after the war they celebrated the war being over, noone knowing many of the soldiers who died. or how everyone continues on with life, not caring. a family has a son who is in a battle at the moment. do they know it? no. they are simply sitting. watching tv.not thinking for themselves. letting the tv think for them. completely unaware that the brother is in a battle, suddenly shot and killed. another platoon finds the dead platoon's bodies. the soldiers are unknown. im just rambling eh? probably dont have any dea what im saying.
