Soldiers know the words
They know the reality

A great cover of a great song

The American former Navy seal knew the lyrics better than most Aussies; trying to explain what a 'quay' is (Said as key).

Good on him,I'm amazed that an American knows the words to this song,or the key!But,then again,Australians and Americans have been fighting side by side in so many conflicts,why wouldn't they.Impressive.

[@LarenOz]

Just to clarify, it wasn’t written by a soldier serving in Vietnam. It was written by Eric Bogle.

[@nevyn_karres]

But damn he did a fine job of it.

[@johnlittle7473]

Now do "Dirty Old Town!"

[@bonnypop5764]

Fuck yes

Could you please correct the spelling of the senator's last name in your title? Its Kerrey.

[@GMc2000]
