Lyric discussion by theunicycleguy 

Talking about helicopters in taking him away, it isn't from WWII, since helicopters were not used for war then (They may have been a very rare use of them, but nothing to comment on).

I would think more of Vietnam.

"Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger" To me, this line is talking about the Protestors (Of Vietnam) and how they would throw stones at them as they returned, etc, even though it was not their choice to go fight.

A very strong song, especially the line, "This is where the children used to play"

@theunicycleguy This is modern day. Bombing and attacks occur regularly and schools have been accidentally bombed in recent years.

Why do people automatically go to ww II when the word they see the word "allies". Folks, we have allies right now. You do know this right? We didnt stop with allies after the war.
