I was always blown away to see this song played at ball games, political events seemingly depicting a proud America... Born in the USA. The true meaning of the song is protest and the suffering the veterans went through and what they dealt with in the war along with the pain they experienced when they returned home. The song has always been glorified as proud America when in fact it is a very sad and painful story of suffering and a lack of appreciation of all the lives lost and suffering that came out of this war.

You can call the song "ironic", I guess. Even though it calls living in the US to be shitty. lol But the way it is sang and portrayed with the American flag and the way Scorcese filmed it with Bruce in leather and looking badass I think works against its message. Because frankly most people enjoy the rhythm of songs and don't listen to the lyrics. With this message, it probably needed to be approached like a Bob Dylan song. More quiet.

@@gaigetucker6242 I think it's misunderstood from both side of the debate. I think the song and words are patriotic in a way that it doesn't demean what America represents but rather it says those veterans are important, they gave their lives for the country and we should do more for them. I mean it's pretty wholesome. But the video itself should perhaps have been more specific. Showing veterans in battles and then coming home and having a hard time, etc...Whereas in this state, the look of Bruce on stage is gung ho patriot righty and you show laid of workers which is a lefty message. And both don't work.

The ironic thing is, this song is widely portrayed as being patriotic for reasons it isn't. Then people say its an anti america song. Both are wrong, it is one of the most patriotic songs there is, not because of praise for it's country, but because it calls out genuine issues. You don't have to blindly praise your country to be a patriot, the most patriotic thing you can do is call out and try improve your country's obvious flaws.

One of my dad’s favorite songs of all times. His dad served during Vietnam and during that time, he inhaled fumes from tires that were being burned or something. After he obviously developed lung cancer, the VA denied that it was the government’s fault because my grandpa was a smoker so it was probably his fault. He was in poor health for the remainder of his life. My parents raised me to hate war, the politicians that support it, the recruiters that prey on the poor to keep their numbers up, and the military industrial complex but they also raised me to have the upmost respect for those that survived, came back and were forgotten by their own country despite offering their lives.

And thanks Bruce, Clearance, Stephen, Patti and everyone with the E Street for single handily with this legendary song to turn negative public perception to Vietnam War Vets and making them American War Heroes. 👍🇺🇸

To think, people now prefer Kid Rock's plastic patriotism to Bruces genuine love of America. If you listen to all his music, his love of America as evident.

In my late 30s and my son who’s 6 was singing this and it hit different. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, 13 years. At first I fought because of 9/11 but by the end it was just lining pockets of the rich. Made me realize I needed to explain to him that he needed to do things for himself when he grows up and not go into the service. War is bullshit and I stand by that. I do not blame the soldiers I love them, I don’t like the fuckin politicians.

Then Kuwait and Baghdad, and were still there in Anwar and Faluja...and when the men and women get home there wasn't and isn't even work for many of them, even down by the gas fires of the refineries these days...so we've spent the last 50 years literally burnin' down the road, leaving no where to run and nowhere to go.

Back when this song came out, I kind of understood it wasn't what many believed it to be. But I didn't quite get it. Years later, having enlisted in the USMC and gone through multiple deployments (from which I have never really fully returned), when I heard this song again, it just hit so differently. I truly got it. For me, having lost some damn fine brothers either there or when they returned and ultimately succumbed to the demons they brought back with them, the line that hits me so hard is "they're still there; he's all gone." The battle spots on the map might have changed, but that fact remains just as true. Thank you for reminding people of that, Bruce. Semper Fi.

I was 16 when this album came in Norway, saw Bruce at Valle Hovin in Oslo that or the next year . It was glory days.

The BOSS still rocks 40 years later!!! First, major rock concert I went ever went to. No Jumbotrons back then and couldn't see anything. Just happy to feel the excitement in the air with the rest of the audience. Still get goosebumps hearing this song. As I grew up and learned more about the Vietnam war my understanding of the song has grown too.

the saddest lyric in this song....still brings tears... I had a brother at Khe Sanh Fighting off the Viet Cong They're still there, he's all gone He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now

Aussie here. Very disturbing isn't it how vets were and are treated. I've seen so many homeless lost men I just can't understand why the US hasnt built care homes for those that need it. My uncle went (Aussies are US allies so we sent thousands to their death) and he was utterly destroyed when he came back and led a tragic life with an early death. If you get a chance look up the song Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel. Peace mate.

I am ashamed to confess that I have misunderstood this song for the greater part of my life. I grew up in the 80's. This song was huge back then, played ubiquitously in the USA--especially on 4th of July (Independence Day). I believe several Politicians used it in their political campaigns (I don't think they read the lyrics!) I thought of it as a patriotic, feel-good, karaoke song. But now, that I have become wiser, read a few books, went to college, and have lived through a few US foreign policy blunders -I am realizing the true meaning of this song! A 5-minute song that teaches more about the errors of History than my public High-School, History class ever did in the USA! (Agent Orange)

It’s not misunderstood at all…a song can’t be misinterpreted…..the listener creates the meaning….the beauty of this song is that it’s vague enough to be claimed by many viewpoints, but at its heart it’s always seemed to me about an average working class guy who got in trouble, and as was common in those days, told by a Judge it’s jail or the army , so he joined the army. He had a rough time in the years after and when this song was written he would not even have been much past 35. It’s a common story from that time and era, and despite his problems the narrator still feels, in my opinion, proud to be born in the USA…his story is HIS story….it’s HIS personal American narrative. Plus, ole Bruce, he pumped himself up, ditched the earring, turned up the drums, appropriated the flag as much as sly Stallone in rocky four and Rambo 2….don’t lie to me and tell me he wasn’t trying to convey a jingoistic, traditionally patriotic message here….

"Born in the U.S.A." is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen, and released in 1984 on the album of the same name. ... The song addresses the economic hardships of Vietnam veterans upon their return home, juxtaposed ironically against the patriotic glorification of the nation's fighting forces.

@@Janine.Najarian well it’s not perfect, but when folks travel the earth to find better they always come back to it. Perfect can only be found in heaven. Decent is the best we’ve been able to produce with human beings driving.

i had an uncle who fought in the nam. The line "i had a brother at kha sahn, fight off the vietcom, their still there, he's all gone" brought him to tears...he actually was at kha sahn and lost so many brothers there, he said...

Brother fought proud and came home to nothing but disrespect. He has several friends on that black wall. Mad respect for men and women who served in Vietnam.

SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF US THAT WERE BORN IN THE U.S.A......AND ALL OF THOSE WHO WERE NOT.........BUT LOVE US JUST THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....MUCH LUV B.SPRING.....TIMELESS MUSIC.....TIMELESS ARTIST......

Almost 40 years later and this song still has so much power to it. Thank you for all of our veterans past, present, and future. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Wrong point. The song is actually about how the Vietnam War was completely useless and they sent off hundreds of thousands to die to go shoot some foreigners they didn't like in a dispute that wasn't ours to intervene in.
