This song is incredibly brilliant and I get chills and tears every time I hear it. I'm 17 years old and don't know anyone who served in Vietnam but the song still make it feel so close to me. On a musical level, I think the song is amazing. I love the repeating melody and I really love when it goes into "We held the night" part. Historically accurate or not, it tells a tale close enough to what went on over in Vietnam. I'm in awe of the people who fight for our country and this song really makes me feel it.
shayna, my father-in-law came back from 'nam a psychotic heroin addict, who tried to kidna; and kill my husband when he was 5, in 1982. he's now dying in his 60s, from related issues. all war makes me cry. but my awe is different-- i'm in awe that they would go at all. i mourn the loss of EVERY soldier-- american, or enemy. a life is a life. no disrespect to anyone at all, just my thoughts. peace to all, and may none of you ever have to endure these horrors.

he wasn't a bad guy before the war. and it's not just vietman. my cousin's cousin went to iraq, and if you come up behind him... he;s developed this reflex where he just takes you down. he can't even cantrol it, he's so traumatised. all these army commercials, give you a better life, blah blah... but not one i'd want to live. :(
