Sir No Sir (2005) Documentary

2 comments:

  1. This feature-length documentary focuses on the efforts by troops in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to oppose the war effort by peaceful demonstration and subversion. It speaks mainly to veterans, but serves as a ready reminder to civilians that soldiers may oppose war as stridently as any civilian, and at greater personal peril

  2. I read that you took a stand
    And refused to kill in Vietnam.
    You said no man was your enemy
    What he's fighting for is to be free.

    Ghetto streets lead nowhere
    Ghetto cries fill the air.
    Uncle Sam's in Nam to loot and rob
    And people starve at home cause there's no jobs.

    Oh ain't it hard
    To smile sometimes?
    I know it's hard
    To smile sometimes.

    Soldier, we love you
    Yeah, soldier we love you
    Standing strong
    'Cause it's hard to do
    What you know you must do
    Cause it's true
    Yes, it's true.

    They locked you up in their stockades
    Yeah, they locked you up 'cause they're afraid
    That you would rap and spread the word
    But you can't jail truth, it will be heard.

    Oh, ain't it hard
    To smile sometimes?
    I know it's hard
    To smile sometimes.

    Soldier, we love you
    Yeah, soldier we love you
    Standing strong
    Yes, it's hard to do
    What you know you must do
    Cause it's true
    Yes, it's true.
