Maybe it's not politically motivated. My first memory of the song was as the opening theme of a late '80's television drama called "Tour of Duty." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092468/)
The show was about a platoon in Vietnam and I've always associated it with Vietnam.

I was just saying that if he grew up in the 80's, he may remember the song. Sorry for breaking your thread discussion rules.
