LawdyMama: The only other band I know of that did something similar is The Dead Milkmen with their song "Beach Party Vietnam."
When he talks about the numbers in the first verse, 50,000 is an approximation of the number of American troops who died in Vietnam and 500,000 was an approximation of the total number of American troops who were sent there. That means about 10% of the US soldiers died.
It's a pretty straightforward Vietnam protest song made after the war was over. Just one of several of the band's anti-war songs.
Seems like from the meaning you are saying all they cared about was American soldiers. Not all the insane amount of Vietnamese that were killed in the war. You should look up the history of Vietnamese boat people if your interested in find out more.
