The voice and lyrics echo the dark days . Almost as difficult to listen to now as it was then . They are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace

Salve, ragazzi. Oggi, niente lavoro: sono bloccato in casa perchè la mia schiena è peggiorata. Questi sono gli effetti collaterali dell'invecchiamento! Così mi sono rivisto un documentario dell'87. Si intitola Dear America-Lettere dal Vietnam; la Guerra del Vietnam, per quelli della mia generazione, è stata l'equivalente della guerra in Irak per la generazione del 2000: tutti i giorni la televisione ci portava in casa i disastri che il conflitto generava in quella sfortunata terra e lo stillicidio di una intera generazione di giovani americani. Negli anni '80, dopo che tutti avevamo cercato di dimenticare il Vietnam ed i suoi protagonisti, decine di film ci ricordarono che, giusto o sbagliato che fosse, quegli uomini erano morti, erano stati feriti ed ancora soffivano per quella guerra; e che era giusto non dimenticarli ma rispettarli per la loro giovinezza gettata via. Nel documentario c'è questa bellissima canzone dello sfortunato cantautore americano Tim Buckley. Mi perdonerete se l'argomento non è proprio beatlesiano ma, del resto, anche le loro canzoni hanno fatto da colonna sonora a quel conflitto...

If you've never seen the film "Dear America: Letters From Vietnam" - it is excellent - and it's available here on YouTube - but go ahead and get a box of Kleenex before you sit down to watch it. :o(

All of them same expression. I know that expression. I see it in the mirror sometimes.

It's the 21st century. Men still slaughter each other, in the presence of God. Isn't it time we realize that we don't solve problems with war? We need men with courage and weapons to stand up against the enemies of freedom, I'm not naive to believe in world peace, but war kills indiscriminately. I was a U.S. Marine and at 50 years of age I haven't lived in a decade that war hasn't existed somewhere on our planet. Apparently we humans must be inherently evil. The documentary "Letters Home from Vietnam" gives us an insight to what those young men went through. They have my respect, just for lacing up their combat boots and going. It's 2014, Vietnam vets are in their 60's and older. Couple decades ago, I had hope that America was going to learn politically from the Vietnam war, but recent events doesn't offer any proof nor hope for our future. God bless you all

There's another koala in this crowd. Endless wars and false flags keep the money at the top for the few.
