Nixon's support in having soldiers shoot these kids means he deserves the best of hell that hell can deliver.

The song with the phrase "Tin Soldiers and Nixon's Coming" is one that rings, even today, in the ears of all those who had to put up with the Vietnam war and the rw nutzis.

Kids today, I doubt they have a clue, since they have been lied to all their lives. It's up to us to tell them the truth, eh, Sid?
