Nineteen(original) |
| 1965 schien Vietnam nur ein weit’rer unbedeutender Krisenherd zu sein |
| doch es kam alles ganz anders; |
| Vietnam unterschied sich von allem bisher Dagewesenen. |
| Im Zweiten Weltkrieg war das Durchschnittsalter der Frontsoldaten 26 |
| in Vietnam war es 19 |
| in Vietnam war es 19 |
| in Vietnam war es 19 |
| in Vietnam war es 19 |
| Die schwersten Gefechte der letzten zwei Wochen |
| fanden heute 25 Meilen nordwestlich von Saigon statt — |
| Der US-Soldat in Vietnam war durchschnittlich |
| zwölf Monate dienstverpflichtet |
| zwölf Monate fast täglich unter feindlichem Feuer — |
| Ein US-Militärsprecher gab heute in Saigon bekannt |
| daß allein in der letzten Woche 700 feindliche Soldaten gefallen |
| sind. |
| Im äußerst hart umkämpften Grenzgebiet zu Nordvietnam |
| verlor der Feind insgesamt 2689 Mann — |
| All those who remember the war they won’t forget what they’ve seen. |
| Destruction of men in their prime whose average age was nineteen. |
| Destruction — destruction — destruction |
| Nach einer Statistik der US-Armee leiden mehr als 50% aller |
| ehemaliger Vietnam-Soldaten an schweren psychischen Schäden |
| haben quälende Schuldgefühle und Selbstmordgedanken. |
| 10 Jahre nach der Rückkehr in die Heimat kämpfen noch heute fast |
| 800 000 Männer ihren einsamen Kampf: Den Kampf gegen Vietnam! |
| Keiner gilt als Held — keiner |
| keiner. |
| Keiner gilt als Held — keiner |
| keiner. |

| In 1965, Vietnam appeared to be just another minor trouble spot |
| but it all turned out very differently; |
| Vietnam was different from anything that had come before. |
| During World War II, the average age of front-line soldiers was 26 |
| in Vietnam it was 19 |
| in Vietnam it was 19 |
| in Vietnam it was 19 |
| in Vietnam it was 19 |
| The heaviest battles of the last two weeks |
| took place today 25 miles northwest of Saigon — |
| The US soldier in Vietnam was average |
| twelve months of service |
| twelve months almost daily under enemy fire — |
| A US military spokesman announced today in Saigon |
| that 700 enemy soldiers fell in the last week alone |
| are. |
| In the extremely hard-fought border area with North Vietnam |
| the enemy lost a total of 2689 men — |
| All those who remember the war they won't forget what they've seen. |
| Destruction of men in their prime whose average age was nineteen. |
| Destruction—destruction—destruction |
| According to US Army statistics, more than 50% of all suffer |
| former Vietnam soldier with severe psychological damage |
| have nagging feelings of guilt and suicidal thoughts. |
| 10 years after returning home, still fighting almost today |

| No one counts as a hero — none |
| none. |
| No one counts as a hero — none |
| none. |
