[@1AnonA1]

Dankuwel tante!

I didn't know this live, but I didn't clearly get why they were marching to Washington DC? Was it to ask American government to take its responsibitities in helping Vietnam to rebuild after the War?

[@jayswartz6446]

Mata, I heard that Veterans and Supporters were converging on DC for 4th of July to voice concerns over Veteran's issues at that time. Many returning Veterans were "Anti War" after their experiences.

It's in the movie about Ron Kovic FOURTH OF JULY. The previous March by Vets was after WWI

[@drunkencowboy7967]

What does "Johnny I'm swearin to ye" mean?

[@paleoconservativenj]

It's Johnny I hardly Knew You Are. This is an old anti-war Irish song that's saying out against the violence in Northern Ireland and the whole Ireland before 1916

[@BoraZivkovic]

It means "Johhny, I am promising to you"

[@tabo01]

She is swearing their sons won't be taken again

[@rack391]

And now they are getting ready for Nuclear War and will be signing Women up for the Draft. So I guess they will have to write a new song "Mary I Hardly Knew Ye"

[@jacks82full]

Going to war fleeing maternal duties? Sounds legit.

[@rack391]

@@jacks82full Actually it is the bean counters at the War Colleges that study war. If a war goes nuclear population numbers show there will not be enough men replace the massive losses that will come with a nuclear strike

[@taddyd1]

Stunning. Odetta did an excellent version of this song during her concerts at about the same time
