Rooster - Alice In Chains

I was a teen in the 1970's and remember watching news stories about the Vietnam war. Many Americans don't know their history well enough, or have dug deeply into research, to learn that the Vietnam war was not won by America. It was a a senseless war. Many hippies at that time were protesting it constantly and now many understand why. However, when the soldiers returned home from the war, those same protestors would spit on them. The Vietnam vet was probably the most ridiculed and abused soldiers from any war. What most hippies did not realize at that time was that many of these men were forced to go to war via the draft. It was'nt their fault, it was the deep state military complex and the warmongs in our government at the time that was guilty.

I was told many horrific stories from Vietnam veterans of how very evil the Viet Cong were in that war. They would sacrifice children to harm the soldiers. For example, a little girl would go into a group of soldiers with a basket of fruit to sell to the soldiers. She would not know that a bomb had been placed in her basket set to go off within a few minutes of her going up to the soldiers. The bomb would go off and she would die along with several soldiers. This is the communistic evil that our soldiers were dealing with on a daily basis.

This war was basically fought to show our enemy Russia that America didn't mind spilling the blood of her thousands of her soldiers to prove that we were the better and stronger nation. I learned that had our military been allowed to go into Cambodia, when the Viet Cong would rush there to avoid capture, we could have won the war.The Alice in Chains song “Rooster” is supposedly about the travails of a Vietnam-era veteran. From the lyrics of the song, we can put together that he is suffering from some sort of PTSD over his service in the military during that war.

We have had warmongers within our government for decades. The deep state elite globalists do not care who wins the war, they just want to make millions of dollars. They are responsible for starting all wars and they fund both sides via the banking cartel. It is time for the warmongers to stop using the blood of our military to stuff their greedy pockets. We want peace, not war.

With that said, this song, Rooster produced by Alice In Chains is about the travails of a Vietnam-era veteran. From the lyrics of the song, we can put together that the man is suffering from PTSD over his service in the military during that war. It was Jerry Cantrell’s tribute to his Vietnam veteran dad. Alone, late at night, Cantrell’s thoughts kept turning to his estranged father, whose psychological scars from his service in the Vietnam war had contributed to the breakdown of the family some years earlier. “That experience in Vietnam changed him forever,” explains Cantrell, “and it certainly had an effect on our family, so I guess it was a defining moment in my life, too. He didn’t walk out on us. We left him. It was an environment that wasn’t good for anyone, so we took off to live with my grandmother in Washington, and that’s where I went to school. I didn’t have a lot of my father around, but I started thinking about him a lot during that period.”

Pray for our veterans and their families. Not only do they have to deal with the horrors of war, but their family has also sacrified much too.

Lyrics:
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, Mmm
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere, Mmm

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no oh, you know he ain't gonna die

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die, oh
No, no, no oh, you know he ain't gonna die

Walkin' tall machine gun men
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy, Mmm
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dyin' breath
Oh God please won't you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no oh, you know he ain't gonna die
