Hmmm, based on your description, I'm a bit more curious. Maybe I'll track down a copy.
You have to understand that, unlike now, 95% of the soldiers in Vietnam were drafted, they didn't volunteer to go. That high, wow. I knew it was up there, but somehow I always thought it was in the upper eighties or thereabout.
It's about how they were young men who got sent to a bad war that wasn't necessary. And looking over the lyrics again now, I think I can see that. I also realize I sounded like a bit of an ass.
