若き戦車兵の満面の微笑み 19歳かな? 

Say Good bye to Saigon? ホーチミンシティ NOW

 

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 2

In Vietnam he was 19

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today 25 miles north-west of Saigon

I wasn't really sure what was going on

In Saigon a U.S military spokesman said today more than 700 enemy troops Were killed last week in that sensitive border area

Throughout all of South Vietnam the enemy lost a total 2689 soldiers

All those who remember the war

They won't forget what they've seen

Destruction of men in their prime

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

None of them received a heroes welcome
