In 1965Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
But it wasn ＇t
It was different in many ways as so were those that did the fighting
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19
N n n n nineteen
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25miles north-west of Saigon
I wasn ＇t really sure what was going on

In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served a twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday

In Saigon a U S military spokesman said today more than 700enemy troops
Were killed last week in that sensitive border area
Throughout all of South Vietnam the enemy lost a total 2689soldiers
All those who remember the war
They won ＇t forget what they ＇ve seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
Dedededededede-Destruction

According to a Veteran ＇s Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation rage or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight hundred thousand men
Are still fighting the Vietnam War
None of them received a heroes welcome
