I have decided to make a comment here after some thought. I have kept this info close to my heart for 53 years now and am getting old and wearing out. This song speaks directly to me. I dedicate this comment to Sgt. Jessee Frank Morgan and Cpl . Auburn Foreman. They both died beside me on a worthless little hillside in Dec. 1965. Both were my close friends. As a medical corpsman, I did my best but they did not make it and I was badly wounded. I have never posted their names before but this lovely song seems the right place to recognize them. Semper Fi buddies and Jesse, your son is a fine young man. I talk to him regularly and told him all about u and how u died.

I am a two-time Vietnam Vet. I lost a lot of friends there, and a large part of my soul. When I was 18 and in basic I was called out to perform in the honor guard for a soldier's funeral - a friend of mine from high school. I have never stopped crying I think.

I love Natalie and her resilience. Today I’m only going to listen and post The Chicks tunes. If you know, you know….

What a beautiful song. I'm a Vietnamese, I have an American friend who was drafted for the war in Vietnam and survived it to tell his story. And somehow Vietnam has a special place in his heart, so he always tried to come back and visit us at least once a year ❤

This song hits me hard, in a very odd way: My father was a drill instructor in the army before I was born. He trained a number of platoons, and quit the military just after I was born, because he didn't want to be deployed away from family for long months/years. A few years ago, he confessed that he still gets calls from grieving widows, asking if he can attend the funerals of men he trained, that died while deployed. Most of them moved to the US because they wanted to be heroes. Wanted to go to war and put their skills to use. He showed me platoon photos of the men he trained, and several of them show almost completely blanked out faces. Almost all the men in the platoon are now dead. Almost all the men he trained have gone to war, and not made it home. It was the only time in my life that I've ever seen my father cry. He thinks he didn't train them well enough, and that's why they never made it home. Songs like this have hit very hard since he told me that.

i remember just before deploying to iraq seeing the dixie chicks on the news with all their anti-war stuff. i thought to myself "how un-patriotic". 20 years later i suffer from PTSD and think that i was wrong and perhaps they were the most patriotic out of everyone. they didnt want 100s of thousands (or maybe millions if you include the families of) soldiers to return from pointless fighting that only lined the pockets of politicians.

The first time I heard this I was in Afghanistan and it was played on the radio shortly before I was rehearsing a repatriation duty that would happen later on that evening for a Marine from my unit that was killed. Every time I hear it now, it provokes such emotion in me. I think about the dismembered bodies I carried as they made their final journeys home. I think about the families, friends and loved ones. I think about how there is now a void in so many lives that can never be replaced. I think about love. I think about war. I think about my son, and the sister he will have in 10 days. I think about how lucky I am to have life a head of me but at the same time an overwhelming sense of sadness that so many were not able to return from war and live the lives that they would have lived.

i listened to this song every day just before my first deployment to iraq. i havent really listened to it for 20 years but didnt expect to get all emotional reading the comment section. the real cost of war (in my opinion) isnt a painful but quick death on the battlefield, it is the emotional and physical trauma that follows us around for the rest of our lifes as we spread our toxic disease to everyone around us.
