A song I wrote 20 years after service during the Vietnam Conflict, about all the psychologically wounded veterans that were abandoned by their country. Referred to as "Trip Wire Veterans".

It seems everywhere I travel, each town has a "Mad Max" or "Crazy Bob". But these guys were normal young men when they joined the service, and they were used and cast off by our government. Instead of avoiding them, we should try to help them.
