Cover art for Goodnight Saigon lyrics by Billy Joel

The men who went to vietnam and faced death for 365 days kno what this song means and anyone who had the balls to spit on them when they got home should be shot. That was bullshit, if you dont agree with the governments actions, dont spit on the ones who actually went there, they had enough to worry about. Even when they got back the nightmares and flashbacks are more than any of those fucking hippies could handle.

@metallica5699 the combat soldiers are just pawns carrying out the orders of the elected leadership who may well well be acting on the dictates of their ego or megalomania
