They Called me a hero

Soldiers

They Called me a hero

I was quit the man

Running from Bombs and bullets

as fast as I can

they Called me a hero

But I felt less than a man

Time would tell the story

Of North Vietman

Fighting off the yellow man

In the town's of Saigon

Drafted into the Army

Not by our choice

we were fighting a war

that was not very popular

back home in the states

The war would go on for years it would seem

no end to this war

It was a political fight

Money machine for companies back home

But our men were getting chewed up

and then sent back home

After the war there was training for jobs

for vets only but they felt sad and lonely

no body want to here their war stories

for there was not glory

I felt bad for Our GI in combat

They was done wrong by the politician

who create war then sent their son's to college

So They don't have to fight

protected by their legal rights

Only thing war teaches us. Is no-one can won.
"they Called me a hero
But I felt less than a man

My father fought in the Korean war and Vietnam. He would speak of the wars except when he was drunk. I agree with you. Need to take care of the Veterans. Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.
