That day i was shit faced and kept posting he was only 19, i was drinking with a few mates and one of there dads and a few of his mates who where in veitnam. This song came up while chewing the fat and the remake of it. Might not mean anything to some but means a lot to me since my old man died in the armed services when i was very young. The one thing i take from it personally is the shit these poor blokes got treated when they got home by the fucking hippy generation. If you don't agree with the war they fight at least support the troops because there just doing their jobs and the shit they go through is harder then i hope any of us will ever know and that commands our respect and love.

This is half of what they played at my old mans funiral and while not being a downer, this. This is why ANZACS mean so much to us because of what they went through for us our mothers, their friends, familys, fathers, again i don't expect most of you to get it but google gallipoli :-).
