A twelve month tour of duty

According to a Veteran's Administration study

After World War II the men came home together on troop ships

All those who remember the war

All we want to do is come home

All we want to do is come home

Almost eight hundred thousand men are still fighting the Vietnam War

But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday

Concludes that the greater of vets

Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now

De de destruction

De de destruction, wa, wa, war, wa, war, war

Destruction of men in their prime

Eight to ten years after coming home

Exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances

Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what

Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combat

I really wasn't sure what was going on

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn't

In in in Vietnam he was 19

In Vietnam he was 19

In Vietnam the combat soldier typically served

In Vietnam were arrested since discharge

In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26

It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting

Many vets complain of alienation, rage or guilt

Ne ne ne, ne ne ne, none of them, none of them, none of them

Ni ni ni 19, 19, ni 19 19

Ni ni ni 19, 19, ni19 19

Ni ni ni 19, Ni ni ni 19

None of them received a hero's welcome

None of them received a hero's welcome

None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of them

Of being arrested or convicted

People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Psychiatrists call

Some succumb to suicidal thoughts

The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today

Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non veterans of the same age

There are no accurate figures of how many of these men

There's gotta be something wrong somewhere

There's gotta be something wrong somewhere

They won't forget what they've seen

This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

War, war

War, war

Was it worth it

We did what we had to do

What did we do it for?

When we came back it was different, everybody wants to know

Whose average was 19

World War II and Vietnam was coming home

"How'd it happened to those guys over there?
