Lennon wrote it alongside his wife, Yoko Ono where they express their emotions on the Vietnam War. They pled for a better world where people live in peace and unity. Music experts and even myself believe that the message of the song “has remained important and relatable through the years.” , Lennon was asking us to imagine a place where the things that divide us, like religion and possessions, did not exist. He felt that would be a much better place.

When Kiowa had died Bowker blamed himself and later on in the future he hung himself. Tim wrote a chapter on how his guilt and regret had eaten him up inside.

But there were people who disagreed with war. In this image you see a protester holding a sign that says abolish the draft.

He was asked to describe the time? "The draft was an expression of this militaristic, imperial power that we were opposed to. I was in the early founding of the Students for a Democratic Society. We thought we were responsible for having to have an antiwar movement. We thought the demonstrations of larger numbers of people would have an effect on policy, and that was perhaps naïve. A new lever that SDS perceived for a change of the policy was people being forced to fight the war had the opportunity to resist it. It was a strategic kind of effort: We who were in opposition to the war, if we ourselves refused to fight, and got other people to refuse to fight, the policy would have to be reexamined."

There was a sense that it was a chaotic political environment. We weren’t being told what was going on.

When asked how did he get involved in the war he said " I was one of those poor white draftees. I was neutral with the war, until I got drafted. My first day out in the field in Vietnam our point man got wounded by a nine-year-old kid, and I thought, So that’s the enemy? I was in the field three weeks when I got wounded the first time. The third time I spent nine and a half months in the hospital. I had shrapnel in my brain and was not supposed to survive. But I did. It crystallized my feelings about the war and how I was very angry. Once I got out I joined the Monterey chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War."

The name itself shows a non-native understanding of the conflict. Instead, the two decades of fighting in Vietnam, from 1954 to 1975, are called “the American War”.
