The son was the guitarist for the band, he wrote the song for his dad. His callsign/nickname was Rooster. Thank you for this reaction. Was 82nd from 99 to 02, i just barely missed Kuwait and Iraq. Lost friends though. More after the fact.
I've seen two good friends die in front of me. I was shot at once and have been robbed twice. That said, it's nothing compared to war. I feel for the boys who have actually been in danger.

The Veteran gentleman talking in the beginning is the guitar players father
And his nickname is Rooster.

That's rough. I'm sorry you've had to endure that.
Thank you for this reaction. This song is a favourite so it's fascinating to hear your thoughts and how it aligns with your mates' experiences
My husband is a Vietnam Vet and he gets same expression as "The Rooster" when asked questions.
