Full Metal Jacket made this song more of a satire, thanks Kubrick. the original artist intended this as serious.

I have trouble with Vietnam, as I had somewhat the same feeling with our illegal excursions into Iraq, and the losses involved in such bull**** profligacy.

I will leave the astericks, any war since WW2 has been profit driven, and a step backwards in the history of America.

I am not minimizing those who fought there, but I cannot ever justify us being there, we shoulda just let the stupid french lose their dumb colony.
The 60's is long past the colonial age, and maybe they should not have white flagged so fast, but that is what the french do....
But nooooooo, 60k plus Americans had to die for nothing, for zero gain, just like Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting for the freedom of people who do not want our "brand" of freedom.

But the money vultures...They want us to believe we need that so called feedom, exploitation of resources.

Just once, I would love a war not fought over oil, resources or ideology.

(all wars would end, the above statement is an impossibility)
