dedicated to my brother who was or should i say is a marine, he was a gunner on a helicopter. He joined the marines right before he was to be drafted into the army. not only was he spit upon and called names when he returned from Vietnam, he was indeed still in saigon for several months....perhaps still is idk..i just remember how sick he was and how i couldn't go into the room to wake him, had to call his name from outside the door. he returned from the jungle with mono and a bad case of jaudice..he served his country well and they betrayed him upon his arrival home..i pray we as a country may not agree with invasions, war, or whatever the government chooses to call it, but we will never again treat those who give up their freedom and lives the way we did the veterans of Vietnam..hate the war, not the warior...i love you Ronnie...you were always my hero..you always stood up for me when the boys on the block would play too rough...lol you taught me how to stand up for myself...video is from appocalypse now,real footage of the tet offensive in vietnam,bad company 2,call of duty black ops and pink floyd's the wall :) hope you enjoy the tunes...

I have always loved The Charlie Daniel's Band. "And my daddy calls me a vet." I love the way Charlie sings those words!

Seems like war is a cycle that has always been and I rarely speak to any WW2 Vets at the V.A because they are leaving us.

I had a friend that died in Afghanistan, stepped on an IED while on a foot patrol back in '09 We need to give a helping hand to a returning vet, retired and active military personnel. God Bless.

Many of us lost a piece of ourselves during the Viet Nam conflict, some healed and others never did. Be us veterans, children of vets, or the wives.

of all the men that sacrified life and family there....how dare YOU think that this is in anyway saying that this war was a game!!!! NEVER, NEVER would i disrepect the men that served their country and were so disrepected when they came home!!!! this was just my way of telling my brother that i loved him...please, read the discription next time before posting .....sometimes, you can gather an understanding of what the person that has made the video is trying to express!!!!

did you read the discription? nowhere did i suggest that the Vietnam war was a video game....and i am not ashamed...i made it for my brother who served his country well...a little bit of him died there....just because this was my way of expressing my pain...why would you think i thought it was a game?....and no, i am not ashamed!!!! people tried to make me feel ashamed when my brother came home and i'll be damned if you will make me feel that way!!! i am proud of my brother!!! i am proud

I'm am sorry for your loss. We lost many brave American's and brothers over there, unfortunately, many were abandon over there in prison camps, because we did not pay 5 Billion in reparations to N. Vietnam. A dark and dirty day in our history, and the abuse of those we sent to defend this country. We are still screwing Veteran's who serve today. It's a National Disgrace.
