that's why it's the most loved and ironic song in the usa. it's used to portray gearing up for war in a lot of movie scenes and now this song has been associated with war. like how the west calls a tissue a Kleenex. (even though kleenex is a brand)
This song is Anti-war but not Anti-soldier, so this song being associated with the war is actually right. Its the soldiers being ironic and saying: “look at me, i wasnt rich enough to dodge the draft, so here we are”. This song is a coping mechanism for soldiers
It's because it's still an issue. The rich pay no taxes and use people as cannon fodder in wars to enrich themselves. The military industrial complex has this country since the civil war, but you could make a case for the revolution being rich "founding fathers" getting others to fight a war for them so they wouldn't pay taxes. Whipping the common man into a frenzy so they can die so that you can have "a little more". I still remember when a republican kid said, "I used to listen to your music, but I can't listen to you guys (rage against the machine) but I can't listen because your message has changed." And they answered him, "what machine did you think we were raging against?" The only thing which has never changed is that there will always be idiots who are willing to throw away their lives so that rich politicians get fat. Every president during that Era ran on a platform to remove us from Vietnam. Strange that it continued for over 20 years. Same as Iraq, Afghanistan, now Ukraine. Etc, Etc... and the machine continues to grind.
It is horrifying that 54 years later this song is still relevant. After 20 years of sending our sons and daughters to war, wasting blood and treasure. We still live in a country that wastes the lives of young poor people. So that rich people can have their wars.

Several years ago I was teaching The Great Gatsby in a high school English class, and a student asked me why Tom Buchanan didn't go to WWI when Gatsby did. When I said, "Traditionally the rich don't go to war," several students were flabbergasted. When I explained the many ways the rich could easily get out of the draft when the poor could not...well, it was a light bulb moment.
That certainly wasn't the case on the front line, especially from the UK. The nobility had a strong military history, still do, with the sons of even the monarch serving in the armed forces. The upper class lost proportionately far more sons in WWI, both with the military service tradition, and the fact that mainly as officers they would be the first to lead the "charge".

This works as a breakup song, work out song, road trip song, work song, feel good song, cooking song. this song is everything. fits perfectly for every mood.
In my youth, this song was one of the no. 1 soundtracks for me and my gang. I'm 62 now, and still fascinated about the power of this (and many other songs by the great bands of the 1970ies...). Few days ago, I listened to some of the old records, and my little son (he is 15 years old...) came to me and asked what damn cool music it is. Since then he is an absolutely CCR fan, and now every day we are rockin the old, unbeatable, best music that was ever made - great little son....

I decided to listen to this today because I was watching Macgyver my child hood show don’t hate on me pls it was episode one of season one and they were playing this while Jack and Mac were chasing an old military personnel carrier
Well this song was written to a very specific audience - rich, privileged, politicians - who at the time were sending other peoples sons to die in Vietnam while their own children only read of such things in the news between endless parties and opulent weddings. Foggerty singled them out and slashed them to the bone with this song. There can't possibly be ANY songs that are like this.
Man this songs hits very very hard right now. Trump is the "Fortunate Son", rich kid that dodged the draft, and now has power. God help us all. Don't drink the Kool-Aid folks.
One of the best songs ever, brilliantly portraying what governments think of the common man and leading our sons and daughters to war, but not there own sons and daughters, we are the unfortunate ones until we stand against all governments and say no more war, BRILLIANT SONG AND BAND, TIMELESS.
Your comment is far from accurate, regarding US government officials in high offices, "leading" private citizen sons & daughters into war, with the exception being their own children. That's a ludicrous insinuation. Many numerous politicians, including Presidents, have served Military duty for this country, as well as their sons. And, they've served active combat wartime duty. Do your homework. And, yes, they were wealthy, so step down from that soapbox.The draft ended decades ago. Sons & daughters serving US Military duty today, do so by choice. They are the bravest of selfless Patriotic Americans. Protecting the freedoms of ungrateful propagandists, who sling such insults against them. Like you. And you reference "governments". Meaning all governments. So yes, communist governments do lead sons & daughters into deadly situations. Think kamikaze. Communist governments order every single person's life. The US does not. And what did you suggest? Oh yes, to do away with government, so to speak. You suggest to "stand up against" and do away with war, and wars. Are you that ill informed? From the beginning of time, man has raged war. On nearly every place on Earth. How do you think it was done? To conquer and rule. Possess. Win lands. Man has violently fought man, to overtake & gain possession & control.1000 years of documented history. Study the lineage of Queen Elizabeth II. Amazing history lesson. And, Vietnam had a purpose. It was simply not a war to be won. Our soldiers were not trained to Guerrilla warfare. Nor were they jungle savvy. Nor were they prepared for the Vietcong irregular forces instead of regular military. It was all much more complicated than a Creedence Clearwater song. The Vietnam War raged from 1954 to 1975!!! We were an ally of South Vietnam. It was an attempt by the US to prevent the spread of communism. Most Americans our age, think of an 8 year war. And the rest, is history. And Creedence Clearwater songs. 😊. However, I have no short comment to such a sad lack of education. So I just encourage you to study. How dare folks insult soldiers, who risked lives back then, & still today, risk their lives for YOU! That includes wealthy politicians. And includes wealthy families, with generations of Soldiers.Our select politicians were captured and tortured. But they never left their men behind. And they could have, as high ranking officers. But they refused to be released, & instead, chose to stay & comfort & lead their men while captured. Read about those wealthy government politicians.Your complaining self is free, because of fighting soldiers. Get a grip. You hear a song, & go stupid. What an insult to every heroic American. And their suffering. Put money where your mouth is, & help a Veteran. Advocate for the government to heavily fund our Military, and to more heavily fund Veteran programs. Those are two things that our government needs to increase. Military & Veteran funding. US citizen funding. Before foreign illegals. Yes, the current administration is lacking government leadership.I admit that. But I stand by my defense, as mentioned above. God bless America!!!!
Even though it was a couple of decades before I was born, the Vietnam war was unjustified based on what I've read about it. It was almost like the Americans didn't know what they were afraid of. Don't get me wrong, war is a horrible thing. However, as a Brit I know that military intervention has been required in some circumstances over the years, whether it be us going all in against the Germans to protect our skies in 1942 or, more recently, us merely supplying the Ukrainians with tanks in 2022 to help them fend off the Russians. Whether it's active, like my first historical example, or passive, like my second, no military intervention is pleasant by any means. It's just countries doing what needs to be done in the name of national security, and let me here say that, from what I've read about the Vietnam war, it was actually the Vietnamese who were the good guys. America brought that shit on themselves.
The song was played in a lot of Vietnam movies so kids get all trigger happy. But if they ever got drafted and was handed a M16 with a high failure rate they would probably shit them self.

Not visionary at all, the draft ended a long time ago. In fact you didn't even have to be rich to avoid the war, just had to cross the border into Canada.
The sad and tragic thing is, how many unfortunate sons were sent to their death while the sons of the rich and powerful were shielded. Truly sickening........

@@matthatter2849 not necessarily by a draft. But who makes up most of our US military? The answer is not rich but lower middle class and poor people, the ones that actually need the money. And it's the bridge that decide the policies and the ones that are mostly affected negatively by these new policies are the poor and lower-middle-class people. So yes it still makes sense today because the rich are still profiting from the poor and lower middle class.

I'm from the Bay Area and moved to Florida 2 years ago. Bucket list of things to do before I left was visit the Fogerty childhood home. So I lived in Berkeley, it was in El Cerrito (neighboring cities). But the Bay Area can be VERY VERY hilly. Anywho, was a warm day and I was following my maps and I stopped and sat on the curb. A guy said you don't look great can I get you a glass of water. I said sure. We chatted, he was a vet, and it turns out he was in Fogerty's high school class. Remember that day fondly.
@jferra5 Gods have nothing to do with it. It’s just people. Did God put things together for the Vietnamese villagers who were slaughtered by napalm or the victims of Nazi atrocities or the Africans who were hunted down and enslaved?
Brings me right back to those days of the draft, Vietnam, and how the Best boys were drafted because of their status in life!!! Fit perfectly during those times and continues with the message
My older brother joined at 18 and did two tours of duty in Vietnam. I was in 1st grade but I remember taking him to the airport with my family the first time and it was very sad. And I remember after he completed his first tour, we picked him up at the airport and everybody was celebrating, and mom was crying but tears of joy. To me at the time, I was young, but I remember he was a big strong man with a fresh military haircut, and bright white teeth. His teeth probably looked so white because he had a very dark jungle tan. I remember squeezing his muscles and kept rubbing his bald head because it felt funny. I didn't want to let go of him. Eventually we had to take him back to the airport. Another sad day for the family but he flashed his big white smile and flexed his big arms for me. I'll never for get it. He completed his second tour and on the last day when they were being airlifted out of the jungle in a helicopter to come home, it was shot down as it left the ground. He was wounded from the explosion but made it home alive and healed up. Unfortunately, he was also exposed to Agent Orenge while he was there and died later. I remember the music he played like CCR and I love the songs he listed to; they remind me of my hero.

USA is in a very difficult situation. Everybody in western world wants a "world police", but when it comes to the fighting, it seems it wasn´t meant like that. Besides of the faults in the exterior ministry. I think US soldiers (GIs) did a brilliant job. No matter if you lose a battle or win a war. In no war there is a winner, because the best war is no war. You do things, like work, and then you think, oh it was shit. Human mankind is like try and error and so are policemen and soldiers. Don´t let you down! World without US Army would be very poor.

Several years ago I was teaching The Great Gatsby in a high school English class, and a student asked me why Tom Buchanan didn't go to WWI when Gatsby did. When I said, "Traditionally the rich don't go to war," several students were flabbergasted. When I explained the many ways the rich could easily get out of the draft when the poor could not...well, it was a light bulb moment.
That’s effective teaching.
That certainly wasn't the case on the front line, especially from the UK. The nobility had a strong military history, still do, with the sons of even the monarch serving in the armed forces. The upper class lost proportionately far more sons in WWI, both with the military service tradition, and the fact that mainly as officers they would be the first to lead the "charge".
@@paulsengupta971 Maybe Tom was just a coward, then. lol
In WW1 a lot of the fighter pilots were from wealthy backgrounds though.
@@paulsengupta971Prince Harry certainly saw active duty. So for the British some certainly went to war from the upper classes. The USA might be the main culprit. Private Bone Spurs Donald Trump comes to mind.

In my youth, this song was one of the no. 1 soundtracks for me and my gang. I'm 62 now, and still fascinated about the power of this (and many other songs by the great bands of the 1970ies...). Few days ago, I listened to some of the old records, and my little son (he is 15 years old...) came to me and asked what damn cool music it is. Since then he is an absolutely CCR fan, and now every day we are rockin the old, unbeatable, best music that was ever made - great little son....

CCR is so underrated.
One of the best ever. Period
are they underrated today? for sure, but ask anybody who was anybody in the music industry in the late 60's early 70's who was in, they would say The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater

You could put this song to anything, and it just feels right. There can't possibly be that many songs that are like this.
Well this song was written to a very specific audience - rich, privileged, politicians - who at the time were sending other peoples sons to die in Vietnam while their own children only read of such things in the news between endless parties and opulent weddings.

One of the best songs ever, brilliantly portraying what governments think of the common man and leading our sons and daughters to war, but not there own sons and daughters, we are the unfortunate ones until we stand against all governments and say no more war, BRILLIANT SONG AND BAND, TIMELESS.
Now Russia is the new victim
Companies, mánagers, capital...the goverments are just a doll for them.
Your comment is far from accurate, regarding US government officials in high offices, "leading" private citizen sons & daughters into war, with the exception being their own children. That's a ludicrous insinuation. Many numerous politicians, including Presidents, have served Military duty for this country, as well as their sons. And, they've served active combat wartime duty. Do your homework. And, yes, they were wealthy, so step down from that soapbox.The draft ended decades ago. Sons & daughters serving US Military duty today, do so by choice. They are the bravest of selfless Patriotic Americans. Protecting the freedoms of ungrateful propagandists, who sling such insults against them. Like you. And you reference "governments". Meaning all governments. So yes, communist governments do lead sons & daughters into deadly situations. Think kamikaze. Communist governments order every single person's life. The US does not. And what did you suggest? Oh yes, to do away with government, so to speak. You suggest to "stand up against" and do away with war, and wars. Are you that ill informed? From the beginning of time, man has raged war. On nearly every place on Earth. How do you think it was done? To conquer and rule. Possess. Win lands. Man has violently fought man, to overtake & gain possession & control.1000 years of documented history. Study the lineage of Queen Elizabeth II. Amazing history lesson. And, Vietnam had a purpose. It was simply not a war to be won. Our soldiers were not trained to Guerrilla warfare. Nor were they jungle savvy. Nor were they prepared for the Vietcong irregular forces instead of regular military. It was all much more complicated than a Creedence Clearwater song. The Vietnam War raged from 1954 to 1975!!! We were an ally of South Vietnam. It was an attempt by the US to prevent the spread of communism. Most Americans our age, think of an 8 year war. And the rest, is history. And Creedence Clearwater songs. 😊. However, I have no short comment to such a sad lack of education. So I just encourage you to study. How dare folks insult soldiers, who risked lives back then, & still today, risk their lives for YOU! That includes wealthy politicians. And includes wealthy families, with generations of Soldiers.Our select politicians were captured and tortured. But they never left their men behind. And they could have, as high ranking officers. But they refused to be released, & instead, chose to stay & comfort & lead their men while captured. Read about those wealthy government politicians.Your complaining self is free, because of fighting soldiers. Get a grip. You hear a song, & go stupid. What an insult to every heroic American. And their suffering. Put money where your mouth is, & help a Veteran. Advocate for the government to heavily fund our Military, and to more heavily fund Veteran programs. Those are two things that our government needs to increase. Military & Veteran funding. US citizen funding. Before foreign illegals. Yes, the current administration is lacking government leadership.I admit that. But I stand by my defense, as mentioned above. God bless America!!!!
Respect from Vietnam 🇻🇳❤🇺🇲
We love USA and Trees 🌴🌲🌳
Respect back to you, my friend!
You stupid
i am the lorax. idk why the fuck the trees are speaking vietnamese
Even though it was a couple of decades before I was born, the Vietnam war was unjustified based on what I've read about it. It was almost like the Americans didn't know what they were afraid of. Don't get me wrong, war is a horrible thing. However, as a Brit I know that military intervention has been required in some circumstances over the years, whether it be us going all in against the Germans to protect our skies in 1942 or, more recently, us merely supplying the Ukrainians with tanks in 2022 to help them fend off the Russians. Whether it's active, like my first historical example, or passive, like my second, no military intervention is pleasant by any means. It's just countries doing what needs to be done in the name of national security, and let me here say that, from what I've read about the Vietnam war, it was actually the Vietnamese who were the good guys. America brought that shit on themselves.

I'm from the Bay Area and moved to Florida 2 years ago. Bucket list of things to do before I left was visit the Fogerty childhood home. So I lived in Berkeley, it was in El Cerrito (neighboring cities). But the Bay Area can be VERY VERY hilly. Anywho, was a warm day and I was following my maps and I stopped and sat on the curb. A guy said you don't look great can I get you a glass of water. I said sure. We chatted, he was a vet, and it turns out he was in Fogerty's high school class. Remember that day fondly.
now that is a very cool story
Amazing how God puts things together!
@jferra5 Gods have nothing to do with it. It’s just people. Did God put things together for the Vietnamese villagers who were slaughtered by napalm or the victims of Nazi atrocities or the Africans who were hunted down and enslaved?

Brings me right back to those days of the draft, Vietnam, and how the Best boys were drafted because of their status in life!!! Fit perfectly during those times and continues with the message
Was the same in South Africa - I went to fight the Cubans in Angola at age 17....
Hello Patricia 👋🏼
My dad enlisted just because he knew he would get drafted.
My husband joined the Navy because he knew he'd get drafted
My older brother joined at 18 and did two tours of duty in Vietnam. I was in 1st grade but I remember taking him to the airport with my family the first time and it was very sad. And I remember after he completed his first tour, we picked him up at the airport and everybody was celebrating, and mom was crying but tears of joy. To me at the time, I was young, but I remember he was a big strong man with a fresh military haircut, and bright white teeth. His teeth probably looked so white because he had a very dark jungle tan. I remember squeezing his muscles and kept rubbing his bald head because it felt funny. I didn't want to let go of him. Eventually we had to take him back to the airport. Another sad day for the family but he flashed his big white smile and flexed his big arms for me. I'll never for get it. He completed his second tour and on the last day when they were being airlifted out of the jungle in a helicopter to come home, it was shot down as it left the ground. He was wounded from the explosion but made it home alive and healed up. Unfortunately, he was also exposed to Agent Orenge while he was there and died later. I remember the music he played like CCR and I love the songs he listed to; they remind me of my hero.

They only answer, "More, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

Hey there fellow diver

Greetings fellow divers. Don’t mind me as I add this to my diving playlist.
21 years in the U.S. Army. Somalia, Iraq twice, and Afghanistan. 2 Bronze Stars, one with valor. Was it worth it? No. I was never in a war where America won. Hate to say it.....
Thank you for your service

You are a survivor son and u bet u deserve my and the rest of our many thanks. I'm more sorry u had to go through all that friend. Be happy and well. Many thanks to you and your brothers.
Even in the wars we won, nobody really won. WW2 is the classic one but look at all the horrible things that happened that we couldn't stop. We had to fight that one, but nobody won anyway.
Aw man, that must have sucked cause if I were in your shoes, I would expect that We're gonna lose another war even tho we're more powerful than the enemy.
USA is in a very difficult situation. Everybody in western world wants a "world police", but when it comes to the fighting, it seems it wasn´t meant like that. Besides of the faults in the exterior ministry. I think US soldiers (GIs) did a brilliant job. No matter if you lose a battle or win a war. In no war there is a winner, because the best war is no war. You do things, like work, and then you think, oh it was shit. Human mankind is like try and error and so are policemen and soldiers. Don´t let you down! World without US Army would be very poor.
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, and for some F'in reason, they're speaking Vietnamese!!

Đúng rồi bạn
@@peaveyst7 *M16, M14 was a semi-automatic sniper rifle
@@SniperOnSunday true, but in the early stages of the war it was used as a battle rifle
