Bombing grandfathers never held much appeal for me either.

The USA did help clinch victory in WW II by deliberating targeting civilians in German and Japanese industrial cities.  If not so much the Imperial Japanese army, the Germany Nazi regime clearly posed an existential threat.  Justified.

The American and Israeli War on Terror though leaves much to be desired.  Both countries should erect monuments to terrorism as terrorism played a key part in both countries' nation building processes.  

The 'War on Terror' is just another indication of how easy it is manipulate ordinary folks.  Curious how those who support the 'War on Terror' often readily support political violence. or the deliberate targeting of civilians under the guise of the so-called 'War on Terror'.

So sad. A protest song by definition ought not be politically correct. If the potential to offend or be politically incorrect was the reason for ending this tradition, then I am offended by the attempt to moderate and tone down the sometimes grit that once was one of the hallmarks of RP. 

I suppose all things change. But this was one small tradition that always brought a tear to my eyes, recalling the days when it was first sung and not too often played on commercial radio. Makes me serisouly consider withdrawing my longstanding financial support and send those pennies to another cause. It was a nice long run.

Yeah, I believe meaning needs to consider context and the context of the draft during a lousy war is pretty incorrect.

I was able to find it under artists/arlo, so it’s still on the list. Hoping to hear it today.

Drats! I was looking around for it as well. If music is memories with a melody, then this song goes out to Leonard Crippen, where ever you are!
I vote to bring it back. Just my 2 cents.
Safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving!

End times. 

Seems inappropriate to retire it while there is still war and killin' and mean and nasty  stuff going on. 

 
I look forward to this every year.  There's no one here on Thanksgiving anymore except me.  What a bum deal.
