In 1965 Vietnam 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 in in Vietnam he was 19
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn't sure what was going on
Ni ni ni 19 19 ni 19 19
19 19 19 19
In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served
A twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ni ni ni 19 Ni ni ni 19
Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combat
In Vietnam were arrested since discharge
Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non veterans of the same age
There are no accurate figures of how many of these men
Have been incarcerated
But a Veterans Administration study
Concludes that the greater of vets
Exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances
Of being arrested or convicted
This is one legacy of the Vietnam War
All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average was 19
De de destruction

After World War II the men came home together on troop ships
But the Vietnam vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat
Perhaps the most dramatic difference between
World War II and Vietnam was coming home
None of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a heroes welcome none of them none of them
Ne ne ne ne ne ne none of them none of them none of them
None of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a hero's welcome
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

When we came back it was different everybody wants to know
How'd it happened to those guys over there
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
We did what we had to do
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us
Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now
All we want to do is come home
All we want to do is come home
What did we do it for
All we want to do is come home
Was it worth it
