WAR 1969 Edwin Starr

4. Thx! this song was played much back in the hood...

where I grew up in the inner city, I was too young to go to Vietnam war, but watched the some of the first live war neighborhood boys go from every block around me. Several had that 1,000 yard stare when they got back and many had problems later in life. I remember the riots, the National Guard on one corner and the Black Panthers on the other corner. Business owners had guns and stood out front of their stores armed. There were curfews and dad would sit on the couch pushed up to the door with his pistol because they were kicking in doors at times. Had my first helo ride in a Guard chopper then when they lifted the curfews to pacify the people I guess.

But for those too young to remember, it was an ugly time. We don't want to go back to another useless war. So what's this about a false flag, drones hitting pipelines and whatever to the tankers? Smells like "Gulf of Tonkin" all over again.
