 Strangely enough, if you check the web site, there is a Vietnam version of the song.  I also was too old too serve in Vietnam (:D), but "they" did not seem to care...either time!!! subtlelaugh.gif

One never has to feel bad about not being able to serve, I only find fault with those who actively try to avoid service when the opportunity presents itself.  I truly admire our current forces....each and everyone is a true volunteer, knowing exactly what they are in for...and reenlistment rates are at a historically high level.  Not to say that Vietnam was fought by primarily Draftees...in actuality, less than 1/3 of the troops in the military in the Vietnam Era entered the military via the draft...the others were volunteers....and those that were "draftees" were every bit as good, every bit as brave and every bit as proud to serve as those that had enlisted.
