19

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war,
but it wasn't.
It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting.
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26...
In Vietnam he was 19.
In inininininin Vietnam he was 19.

(TV announcer's voice)
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn't sure what was going on (Vet's Voice)

In Vietnam the combat soldier typicaly served a twelve month tour of duty but
was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Ninininininininininin 19 nininininninin 19

Hundreds of Thousands of men who saw heavy combat in Vietnam were arrested
since discharge
Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans of the same age.
There are no accurate figures of how many of these men have been incarcerated.
But, a Veterans Administration study concludes that the greater of Vets
exposure to combat could more likely affect his chances of being arrested or
convicted.

This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

(Singing Girls)
All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen..
Destruction of men in their prime
whose average was 19

After World War II the Men came home together on troop ships, but the Vietnam
Vet often arrived home within 48 hours of jungle combat
Perhaps the most dramatic difference between World War II and VietNam was
coming home.. .none of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a heroes welcome, none of them, none of them
Nenene Nenene None of them, none of them, none of them (etc...)
None of them received a hero's welcome
None of them received a hero's welcome

According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what Psychiatrists call
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight-hundred-thousand men are
still fighting the VietNam War

(Soldiers Voice)
When we came back it was different.. Everybody wants to know "How'd it
happenned to those guys over there
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
We did what we had to do
There's gotta be something wrong somewhere
People wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us
Dad had no idea what he went to fight and he is now
All we want to do is come home
All we want to do is come home
What did we do it for
All we want to do is come home
Was it worth it

DIX-NEUF

En 1965, la guerre du VietNam ressemblait a nimporte quelle autre guerre, mais navait rien à voir.
Elle était différente pour bien des raisons.
Et les combattants aussi étaient differents.
En 39-45, lâge moyen des soldats était de 26 ans.
Au VietNam, ils en avaient 19.
Au au au au au VietNam, ils en avaient 19.
Au au au au au VietNam, ils en avaient 19.
Au au au au au VietNam, ils en avaient 19.
‎19, 19, 19, 19, 19

Les plus durs combats des deux dernières semaines se poursuivent en ce moment à 40 km de ‎Saigon.
I wasnt really sure what was going on

‎19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19

Au VietNam, les combattants, en principe, étaient relevés tous les ans.
Mais devaient subir presque chaque jour lépreuve du feu

Dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix neuf, dix-neuf, nineteen
Dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix neuf, dix-neuf, nineteen
Dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix neuf, dix-neuf, nineteen
Dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix dix neuf, dix-neuf, nineteen

À Saigon, un porte-parole américain a déclaré aujourdhui que plus de 700 ennemis ont été tués la ‎semaine dernière le long de la zone frontière.
Dans lensemble du Sud VietNam, lennemi a perdu au total 2689 soldats.

All those who remember the war
They wont forget what theyve seen
Destruction of men and rights
Whose average age was 19
Destruction, destruction

Daprès une étude de ladministration américaine, plus de la moitié des anciens combattants souffrent ‎de ce que les psychiatres appellent des troubles consécutifs à un choc dramatique.
Beaucoup se plaignent de cauchemars, de traumatismes, et certains succombent à des idées ‎suicidaires.
Huit à dix ans après leur retour, près de 800 000 hommes ont encore le VietNam dans la tête.
Aucun deux ne fut reçu comme un héros. Aucun deux. Aucun deux

Nineteen. Saigon Saigon Saigon Saigon Saigon
Nineteen. 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19

VietNam. Saigon. VietNam. Saigon. VietNam. Saigon. VietNam. Saigon.
Médaille du courage. Saigon. Médaille du courage. Saigon.
I wasn’t really sure what was going on
I wasn’t really sure what was going on
