Folks, please read about the Operation Freedom Deal, Nixon bombing Cambodia, the Kmer Rouge uprising and simply some history on Cambodia through the 70’s. Wilde’s FATHER wrote the song. When it came out in 1981, Kim was young (about 20) and probably didn’t even know how deep the song was. Watch the song’s video and you will see multiple images of warfare. He was a bomber and did not return from mission: either he crashed or tried to defect and got caught and killed. Prior, he was deeply troubled by information he could not share.
