I haven’t heard that song in a long time. It was sobering when it first played and had a resurgence around the Gulf war when a number of us were about the right age and there were rumors of a new draft. We were all old enough to know people who went to Vietnam and had heard stories about how it affected them. We also knew people who had seen some things and wouldn’t talk about it. My father in law went. A friend of my mom’s went. Both of them turn into dark, brooding people i f the subject comes up .
