The Vietnam War was a challenging war because it was a exotic area, with jungles.

I got a letter from LBJ. It said, “This is your lucky day.

It’s time to put your khaki trousers on.

Though it may seem very queer, we’ve got no jobs to give you here

So we are sending you to Vietnam.”

(Every male American HAS to fight in the Vietnam War, they give them no jobs and so what they have to do is fight in the war.)

"Have no fear of escalation.
I am trying everyone to please.
Though it isn't really war,
We're sending fifty thousand more,
To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese."

(No one wants to fight in the war so the government convinces the people that this is not a war so they can have more soldiers.)

We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese.

(America doesn't stop sending soldiers and taking more males from homes.)
