 * BRING THEM HOME**

If you love your Uncle Sam, Bring them home, bring them home. Support our boys in Vietnam, Bring them home, bring them home.

It'll make our generals sad, I know, Bring them home, bring them home. They want to tangle with the foe, Bring them home, bring them home.

They want to test their weaponry, Bring them home, bring them home. But here is their big fallacy, Bring them home, bring them home.

I may be right, I may be wrong, Bring them home, bring them home. But I got a right to sing this song, Bring them home, bring them home.

There's one thing I must confess, Bring them home, bring them home. I'm not really a pacifist, Bring them home, bring them home.

If an army invaded this land of mine, Bring them home, bring them home. You'd find me out on the firing line, Bring them home, bring them home.

Even if they brought their planes to bomb, Bring them home, bring them home. Even if they brought helicopters and napalm, Bring them home, bring them home.

Show those generals their fallacy: Bring them home, bring them home. They don't have the right weaponry, Bring them home, bring them home.

For defense you need common sense, Bring them home, bring them home. They don't have the right armaments, Bring them home, bring them home.

The world needs teachers, books and schools, Bring them home, bring them home. And learning a few universal rules, Bring them home, bring them home.

So if you love your Uncle Same, Bring them home, bring them home. Support our boys in Vietnam, Bring them home, bring them home.

By Pete Seeger

I chose this song because of its numerous connections to the Vietnam War. There are so many connections and it is so obvious that Pete Seeger really wanted people to go out and try to bring the troops home. He was also very honest in his song. He said that it's not that he doesn't believe in fighting. He says if we were threatened he would fight, but he said that you need to fight a war with common sense and the Vietnam War didn't make sense at all. I think this song probably affected a lot of people here in the US. It was inspiring and I think a lot of people after hearing this song really did go out and do something to help bring the soldiers home. If you were a parent of a soldier, a soldier, or a young person who was eligible to be drafted, I think that you would be happy to know that someone cares about you, or your child, and wants to help by bringing the soldiers home. - Jake Griffin back to "Songs of the Vietnam Era"
