- Country Joe McDonald (http://www.countryjoe.com/rag.htm)
said it best in his iconic "Fixin' to Die" Rag: "Oh, it's
one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me. I don't give a
damn." In fact, we were fighting for nothing in Vietnam. It was a
war that started out because the US didn't want the Commies to win a battle
in the so-called Cold War, and even though it was on the farthest side
of the world, in a poor nation of peasants, even though they had been struggling
to throw off colonialism for years and we had simply become the new colonists,
no president dared to admit the obvious--we had no business being there,
and all the killing and dying had no point.
