I was listening to this song well looking in the comments one of them was “the only war in history to have a soundtrack “

[Mbe-vkwb]

As a Korean vietnam veteran myself, I can't help but feel some kind of nostalgia listening to this song. I went through all the hardships and saw so many dead bodies and unnecessary sacrifices that could've been avoided. But I still miss my youth when I could make it through the jungle and return home safe. It truly feels strange to be growing older. Even the nightmares from the battlefields can be sugarcoated and look so shiny. For all the young people, don't waste even a single moment of the shiniest part of your life! You can't buy your youth even with all the money in the world! (sorry for my bad English if there's any mistakes. I've forgotten my English a lot after many decades living in Korea)

as a Vietnamese, reading the comment section does put a smile on my face

For the generation that doesn’t know about this song, here’s a little history lesson.
It’s about David Eisenhower, the grandson of President Eisenhower, who married Julie Nixon, the daughter of Richard Nixon in 1968, when he wrote "Fortunate Son". Eisenhower spent three years in the military, most of it as an officer aboard the USS Albany

[pharaon]

Timeless masterpiece, there is no war in the world where this not blasting

[quandaledingle]

Vietnam was the only war with its own sound track

[Staylogical]

A soldier's song.Every word of it is true.Politicians shouldn't be allowed to even hum it, except for the paltry few who served.If your not willing to send your son to war, you have no right to send anyone else's.
