Forrest Dates reflects on World War II era patriotism and wartime songs, contrasting older ideals with Vietnam era disillusion. He recalls songs like You're A Sap Mr Jap and Right in Der Fueher's Face, Bing Crosby’s I'll Be Home For Christmas, and the portrayal of Americans in war films. The piece notes a shift in attitudes toward war, with no stirring songs or bonds offered by recent conflicts.
