Fascinating compilation for those interested in the history of the Vietnam War.
Vietnamese music of the war, which was notably absent from the Ken Burns documentary "Vietnam," in which I played a small role as the token coward.

2. A "soundscape" of the Vietnam War, featuring songs that capture the different eras, moods, and eras of this long conflict. You won't find "Fortunate Son" here, but instead, for example, music popular in the Saigon rock scene.

How many young kids, mostly African Americans, died for nothing because of Vietnam. Tragic.
Lots of people, including my dad, made the decision to come up north, and NOT partake in these “war games” that advance a political narrative that causes millionaires to get richer, with not one ounce of compassion for the hundreds of thousands of lives wasted.
