- In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
But it wasn't It was different in many ways And so were those who did the fighting In world war two the average age of the combat soldier was 26 In Vietnam he was 19 The haviest fighting of the past two weeks Continued today 25 miles north west of Saigon I wasn't really sure what was going on 19 In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served A twelve-month tour of duty But was exposed to hostile fire Almost everyday In Saigon U.S. Military spokesman said today More than 700 enemy troups were killed last week In that sensitive border area Through out all of south Vietnam the enemy lost A total of 2,689 soldiers All those who remember the war They won't forget what they've seen Destruction of men in their prime whose average age was 19 According to a veterans administraction study Half of Vietnam combat veterans Suffer from what phychiatrists 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 800,000 men are still fighting the Vietnam war None of them received a hero's welcome 19, Saigon, Saigon, Saigon, Saigon, Saigon 19, nineteen, nineteen, nineteen, nineteen Vietnam, Saigon, Vietnam, Saigon, Vietnam Saigon Purple heart, Saigon, purple heart, Saigon I wasn't really sure what was going on 19
