    It is an insult to humanity that Pete Seeger has not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Rest in Peace, Pete. A true American. For the people, always.

    My heaven would have been to be Pete's grandchild. What a life. He and Willie Nelson... True American icons.

    I had forgotten that I added a comment so many years ago. I remember Pete singing this song on the Smothers Brothers just like it was yesterday. With this song, he kicked Lyndon Johnson, The Big Fool, right in the balls. Whenever I see Pete singing this song, it brings back good memories from a very dark time.

    The entire performance is available here on UA-cam. He DID sing "Damn the Filipinos" but not the others. He did follow that format though, with different songs from previous wars.

    One of my jobs as a low ranking NCO down at Ft Benning was to teach new officers BEFORE they got somebody killed
