[post_page_title]Born in the U.S.A. – Vietnam [/post_page_title]
The Vietnam War was an incredibly difficult time in American history. The war dragged on for almost 20 years, and Bruce Springsteen’s classic Born in the U.S.A seemed to be knee-slapping tribute to America.
Springsteen wrote the song to tell the story of a young man sent to war and coming home mentally scarred from the experience. Springsteen did several interviews explaining the song in greater detail.
