These are NOT air corp, or aviators. They are AIRBORNE operators. These are the guys they drop from the air by either parachute or repelling lines into the hot zones of war. They are tested to levels of endurance that very few can endure. They are taught survival techniques for almost any type of condition, and even to eat what would make most people puke in order to survive. When the job description call for extreme danger, slim chance of survival, overwhelming odds, and the most hostile environment, these are the guys they send in. They will through shear force of will and training stop at nothing to obtain their goal. They are normally very reserved around those other than their own as they have nothing to prove to ANYONE, they know they are the REAL THING! The likes of these people has not been seen on this earth since the days of SPARTA! These are the guys who train other nations on how war is done properly

As a child I lived in Japan and Okinawa during the height of the war. They would bring them to Okinawa for jungle jump training. When we arrived on Okinawa we could watch our men from the rooftop of our hotel. Plane after plane would fly overhead the skies filled with parachutes. It looked like blowing those fluffy white dandelions by the handful. My cousin came to Okinawa on his way to Viet Nam. Mom fixed dinner for about eight of his buddies. Good homemade Mexican food. Perhaps the last home cooked meal some of these men had. I remember one standing and raising his beer saying “ here’s to my brothers that we all come home!” ! I was only 8 years old but remember that evening vividly. We would watch the news everyday. AFN would scroll the KIA, Wounded in action and MIA. The numbers would bring tears to my eyes wondering if my cousin was one of them. Fortunately my dad was an electrician and worked on the flight simulators of the F105 and F4 and was safe from the war zone. He served his twenty and retired as the war slowing down. I followed in his tracks not as an electrician but as a medic. I am technically VN era because I signed before the war was officially over. I too served for twenty years. Decorated by President Reagan for a “Lifesaving”.

The line of the song, "He has died for those oppressed" is significant. The flash on the Green Beret cover features the motto of the Special Forces which is "De Oppresso Liber". Loosely translated, the phrase means "to liberate the oppressed".
