I agree with nearly all that's been posted. I think more generally it touches on the issue of how some people—or maybe all people, only at different times and to different degrees—are desperate and blind and will suffer any cost for what they desire, no matter how self-destructive. |

The song is very obviously about Vietnam, hence its title containing the name of a major Vietnamese city. The fact that he refers to Marine recruit training on Parris Island is there simply because boot camp was the first step toward the soldiers' experience of Vietnam. |
