It's because it's still an issue. The rich pay no taxes and use people as cannon fodder in wars to enrich themselves. The military industrial complex has this country since the civil war, but you could make a case for the revolution being rich "founding fathers" getting others to fight a war for them so they wouldn't pay taxes. Whipping the common man into a frenzy so they can die so that you can have "a little more". I still remember when a republican kid said, "I used to listen to your music, but I can't listen to you guys (rage against the machine) but I can't listen because your message has changed." And they answered him, "what machine did you think we were raging against?" The only thing which has never changed is that there will always be idiots who are willing to throw away their lives so that rich politicians get fat. Every president during that Era ran on a platform to remove us from Vietnam. Strange that it continued for over 20 years. Same as Iraq, Afghanistan, now Ukraine. Etc, Etc... and the machine continues to grind.

Even though it was a couple of decades before I was born, the Vietnam war was unjustified based on what I've read about it. It was almost like the Americans didn't know what they were afraid of. Don't get me wrong, war is a horrible thing. However, as a Brit I know that military intervention has been required in some circumstances over the years, whether it be us going all in against the Germans to protect our skies in 1942 or, more recently, us merely supplying the Ukrainians with tanks in 2022 to help them fend off the Russians. Whether it's active, like my first historical example, or passive, like my second, no military intervention is pleasant by any means. It's just countries doing what needs to be done in the name of national security, and let me here say that, from what I've read about the Vietnam war, it was actually the Vietnamese who were the good guys. America brought that shit on themselves.

After retiring from the Army; this song hits harder than ever. Just looking back and reflecting on everything that happened, everything that almost happened, and everything that was supposed to happen... and most importantly; why... No I am not bitter. I joined voluntarily and it's very meaningful to me. The military is great, and made me a better and more complete person. However; that doesn't mean that war itself is so great. It's always the senators politicians and millionaires screaming for more war; because it's not their sons going to fight. That said; we all know what the deal is when we sign up nowadays. It's not exactly tragic, so much as it's kinda ridiculous. We sign up to fight a rich old man's vendetta. We know this, and don't particularly respect it.. And yet; we do our jobs on his behalf with a level of honor and integrity that rich man could never even fathom.

Your comment is far from accurate, regarding US government officials in high offices, "leading" private citizen sons & daughters into war, with the exception being their own children. That's a ludicrous insinuation. Many numerous politicians, including Presidents, have served Military duty for this country, as well as their sons. And, they've served active combat wartime duty. Do your homework. And, yes, they were wealthy, so step down from that soapbox.The draft ended decades ago. Sons & daughters serving US Military duty today, do so by choice. They are the bravest of selfless Patriotic Americans. Protecting the freedoms of ungrateful propagandists, who sling such insults against them. Like you. And you reference "governments". Meaning all governments. So yes, communist governments do lead sons & daughters into deadly situations. Think kamikaze. Communist governments order every single person's life. The US does not. And what did you suggest? Oh yes, to do away with government, so to speak. You suggest to "stand up against" and do away with war, and wars. Are you that ill informed? From the beginning of time, man has raged war. On nearly every place on Earth. How do you think it was done? To conquer and rule. Possess. Win lands. Man has violently fought man, to overtake & gain possession & control.1000 years of documented history. Study the lineage of Queen Elizabeth II. Amazing history lesson. And, Vietnam had a purpose. It was simply not a war to be won. Our soldiers were not trained to Guerrilla warfare. Nor were they jungle savvy. Nor were they prepared for the Vietcong irregular forces instead of regular military. It was all much more complicated than a Creedence Clearwater song. The Vietnam War raged from 1954 to 1975!!! We were an ally of South Vietnam. It was an attempt by the US to prevent the spread of communism. Most Americans our age, think of an 8 year war. And the rest, is history. And Creedence Clearwater songs. 😊. However, I have no short comment to such a sad lack of education. So I just encourage you to study. How dare folks insult soldiers, who risked lives back then, & still today, risk their lives for YOU! That includes wealthy politicians. And includes wealthy families, with generations of Soldiers.Our select politicians were captured and tortured. But they never left their men behind. And they could have, as high ranking officers. But they refused to be released, & instead, chose to stay & comfort & lead their men while captured. Read about those wealthy government politicians.Your complaining self is free, because of fighting soldiers. Get a grip. You hear a song, & go stupid. What an insult to every heroic American. And their suffering. Put money where your mouth is, & help a Veteran. Advocate for the government to heavily fund our Military, and to more heavily fund Veteran programs. Those are two things that our government needs to increase. Military & Veteran funding. US citizen funding. Before foreign illegals. Yes, the current administration is lacking government leadership.I admit that. But I stand by my defense, as mentioned above. God bless America!!!!

So I lived in Berkeley, it was in El Cerrito (neighboring cities). But the Bay Area can be VERY VERY hilly. Anywho, was a warm day and I was following my maps and I stopped and sat on the curb. A guy said you don't look great can I get you a glass of water. I said sure. We chatted, he was a vet, and it turns out he was in Fogerty's high school class. Remember that day fondly.

My older brother joined at 18 and did two tours of duty in Vietnam. I was in 1st grade but I remember taking him to the airport with my family the first time and it was very sad. And I remember after he completed his first tour, we picked him up at the airport and everybody was celebrating, and mom was crying but tears of joy. To me at the time, I was young, but I remember he was a big strong man with a fresh military haircut, and bright white teeth. His teeth probably looked so white because he had a very dark jungle tan. I remember squeezing his muscles and kept rubbing his bald head because it felt funny. I didn't want to let go of him. Eventually we had to take him back to the airport. Another sad day for the family but he flashed his big white smile and flexed his big arms for me. I'll never for get it. He completed his second tour and on the last day when they were being airlifted out of the jungle in a helicopter to come home, it was shot down as it left the ground. He was wounded from the explosion but made it home alive and healed up. Unfortunately, he was also exposed to Agent Orenge while he was there and died later. I remember the music he played like CCR and I love the songs he listed to; they remind me of my hero.

I like to listen this song when life is hard, because it remembers me of wars, so it makes all my problems really small in comparison to whoever is at war right now somewhere in the world.

We discussed this song in music class in Germany in the early 2000s and this song still resonates with me, clearly CCR produced something special.
