      Bamlak Bekele Of course there’s pro war people but I’m not seeing any in this comment section. You said that the comment section is talking about how war is good when that isn’t the case. Also a very small minority of people actually think going to war without a good reason is fine or good. Especially on RUclips you won’t see many of those people, you’re acting like everyone loves war.

The gun ship helicopters flying in is a great soundtrack, Paul Hardcastle had a hit with Song "19" the average age of the Combat Soldier in Vietnam, my heart goes out to those who died, and those still suffering from the Horrors of War 😢💔🤔🙏
