One Tin Soldier from the movie Billy Jack.

Did you really expect anything else from me?

I used to play it on my guitar - that was when I could sing...

Somehow I'm always a little

surprised about Morrison's voice. It doesn't fit him; it sounded better than he always looked...

Nothing "right-wing" about "Ballad of the Green Beret"

Is it wrong for any American to like that song and its message, even libs??????

You're a jingoistic square, PW.

As I said, SO predictable.

Speaking of jingoism, I'm a big John Wayne fan ( which will surprise obtuse board righties ),
but, absolutely the worst JW film ( for that matter, worst Viet-Nam war film ) was "The Green Berets". Fucking awful !

Pri, I am making no comment on the Viet Nam war nor . . .

justifying it in any way.

All I am saying is what in the hell is wrong with any song that praises Americans who fight for our country?

That was the only point I was making.

But you refuse to read posts. You just glance at who posts them and then post your pre-determined opinionated shit at them no matter what they say.

You have not made a single post of substance since your "celebrated" return. But, that is certainly no surprise . . . .

Guess I'm a jingoistic square, too, then because

I still tear up at "God Bless America" and "God Bless the USA" and "America the Beautiful" and the "Star Spangled Banner" and "This Land is Your Land" and many of the rest of that ilk.

So there.

PW, it's a good song, but libs don't like war. Hmm...

Guess where that puts me? LOL

Although, Pri, before you stomp on me, I'll be the first to admit that sometimes war is necessary (our Revolutionary War comes to mind). Most of the time it isn't, but once in awhile it is. No, I'm not a fence-sitter; I'll go against war most of the time. But, I'm pragmatic about it; once in a great while it's necessary for freedom.

Happy now?

Jolene, cmon----------

you're smarter than that.

Imperative that U.S. that entered WW2; same goes for the Korean war, for that matter.

After that, fuck it.

I agree re WW2 and

everything else after the Korean with one caveat; I don't know enough about the Korean to make judgment for or against.

WW2 falls under the "once in a great while."

We put such a definite end to that. I can't help but wish we'd had such a clear-cut enemy when the planes attacked the Towers. Then the rest of this mess wouldn't have gone on so long. And maybe my son and son-in-law wouldn't have had to go over there.

Afghanastan was necessary

And I think our future invasion of Papau New Guinea will eventually be seen as a good thing as well.

The songs above, all struck a chord with me, at least at one time...

or another. But this one more so than any another.
