the year I graduated from high school--Viet Nam. #1 song. loved it.
Sgt Barry Sadler - Green berets ballad - Video Dailymotion
believe in righting wrongs. what it meant to me. whatever the cost.
not really a political belief--just what always has to be done.
<Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret. >

no need to 'worry' on my high school FB page--plenty of discussion of 'war'--all war. heard every idea. morality---in the end --Right or Wrong. we have concluded 'evil' ---don't allow it. deep thinkers that we are. growing up in our Liberal/Conservative world. 'evil'---always wrong.
