yeah, i have it on his greatest hits cd. that song has a real good personification of what a vietnam vet had to go through post war. steve earle's copperhead road is another good one in that genre of music.

jimmi hendrix, all along the watchtower=best vietnam song ever. its almost cliche now using it in a vietnam war movie.

Marksman what are you talking about when you asked if the air/cav was using songs? What woiuld they have used them for? What asault are you referring to? I know you were joking there but I guess I don't get it.

I believe he's referring to the playing of the Ride of the Valkeries in Full Metal Jacket by the Air Cav, Top.
