#BERNIE2020

Who'll take it from you
We will and who are we?
We're volunteers of America!

The Easy Riders characters should have been the last image. " We Blew it" is exactly how that generation sold out to money and cheap thrills fueled by coke.

I had the woodstock album..in the spirit of love i lent the album to a friend..in the spirit of BERNIE SANDERS she never brought it back...true socialism...lol

Uncle ho;what roundeyes singing about?

Great music back then to bad all the liberals became politicians and screw up the country from 1980s and on.

Yes, all the hippies became libertarians and turned against their beliefs, with the exception of free sex.

Who is watching this video in 2019 like me

Who is watching this video in 2019 like me

2020 now..

Let us all remember the draft dodger in the white house degraded a POW Senator because he disagreed with him...We are better than that. Respect those that gave their lives for us to live a better one.

To all of the people here hating the video because they included Che, how about opening your eyes to the fact that this video represented pictures from what was happening in that era...good AND bad. Chill the hell out and enjoy the good tunes.

I was #10 in the original lottery so I basically had 2 choices well 3..jail, canada or the army when I graduated college in 71….I was too pretty for jail, too cowardly to go to canada(didn't know there'd be amnesty later) so I ended up in the army, which I was wayyyy too pretty for and even more cowardly lol…..and yes when we came home we weren't treated like the service members are now but we weren't really treated that badly because the vast majority of folks knew we'd been drafted so they empathized more than anything else……..I can not speak for the men who were treated badly because I never saw it I just know that my brothers I fought with weren't….I accepted no medals, no plaudits, nothing.because I didn't want them, I accepted no promotion in rank, nothing, I was there, they made me be there, and I got home.. end of story but I do want to thank them for all the sleepless nights I've had since 1971……I never tell people I was in the war, I don't talk about it I don't want to remember it….I accept no benefits for my service and for all intents and purposes could care less.the only thing I do care about is my fellow brothers in arms and the problems they have suffered with for 50 years

A laughable miracle missionaries volunteers or military ventilation nano child at 4 watching car too vid hot sugar sugarsugar orbiting looking down Alice looly lik Tom Petty imlo..--Bwaaaaa 0:54

I was born 22 years too late.

I love humans. I hate society.

One of my favorite songs from back in my day of standing up. Thank G. It is again.

I can't give a completely clean slate to people who didn't have the courage to resist.

Following illegal orders -- participating in a war of aggression -- is a war crime.

If you let the govt use you as a machine in an unjust war, then --

There you are, drafted or not -- an instrument of a criminal govt -- who failed to stand up to that criminal govt. (Disclaimer: I was young enough to get a good lottery number. But many of my friends went and died -- misguided volunteers at first, enslaved conscripts at the end.)

The government STOLE their young lives for an unjust war they KNEW they had lost.

Nixon should have been hanged in front of the White House after a public horse-whipping. PPV. Would have been a bigger draw than Ali-Frazier.

As to the way Vietnam Veterans were treated -- part of the problem was that NIXON paid and sent people to spit on and curse the veterans.

I'm not saying there were not also anti-war protesters who behaved badly.

But it was THOROUGHLY planned by Nixon and his operatives as political theater of the most dishonest kind. .

And Republicans deny it to this day. But then they're WAY past having any sense of shame anymore.

0:28 That picture is often taken out of context. The man being shot was Nguyễn Văn Lém, a Vietcong fighter who had killed Lt Col Nguyen Tuan, his wife, their six children and the officer’s 80-year-old mother. Lt. Col. Nguyen Tuan was a friend of the shooter, Major General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, who was simply eliminating a threat to South Vietnamese security.

Bunch of dirty, stoned hippies who never accomplished anything even close to their alleged world of peace and love. Got to love the delusion of youth, why most die a miserable death.

Volunteers is NOT an anti-war song, this nicely put together video representation of the song is not close to what the song is about.

As much as I appreciate all the anti-war comments and the way vets were abused (my company does a lot of sponsorship of disabled vets) ... this song was NOT an anti-war song, it was about RECYCLING!! Yes, Marty was awakened one morning by the sound of garbage-trucks outside his window (in San Fran I believe) and the truck said on the side VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA, one of the 1st groups doing voluntary recycling.

Smash the reds.

Rest forever Marty Balin

Oh my God, I love this song

Jefferson Airplane got their name from the time when Thomas Jefferson led an attack on a British held airport at Boston, defeating the British.

British?

@Kim Jung Un Is the irony lost on Trump

What che is doing there, commie murderer

What if america had done nothing? Maybe Thailand and Malaysia would have fallen to communism

War in Viet F'n Nam!

I like the song but the video lost me when it showed Che... Either someone is ignorant, or someone is a socialist.

Jeff Jones or he was just a prevalent person in the 1960s the video showing a picture of him doesn’t say if he is bad or good it just shows he was a big figure at the time.

If you live in America, you already live in a socialist country...You ignorant right wingers think its a bad word.

Thank you,RollingStone1987 ! Your video tells exactly what was the sound of that wonderful and great era. I'm over 60 from Europe,and I remember that days as yesterday. Nixon and mao,John kennedy and neil Armstrong,Yuri Gagarin ,Laika and valentina tereskova,and the Kon-Tiki...poor young men,that don't know what I'm writing about...

Forrest Gump broughts me here!

No need to act blindly but at least get prepared for the inevitable

I volunteered to go to N.Korea in 2017
USA didn't need me. I heard the DMZ on 48th parallel is still strong

Well,half century ago,in my youthness,the two Korea were divided from the 38th parallel...but,you know,the times change the shape of things...

The pen is mightier than the sword any how

I don't care about the message of this song but dam does it make me wanna napalm some commies.

Can you hear David Crosby (pre CSNY) hitting those rythm guitar licks.

we are at the cusp of another revolution where we say the rich will pay taxes! health care will not be for profit. political figures will not be allowed to take pac money. and mostly love will be our race and religion!! we just need to stand up!!!

Might as well have a slideshow of Matthew Brady photos. 1960's not much more recent than 1860's.

Great song!

Said thing 1960’s was hype! Most of America was conservative. Boomer are mostly greedy losers! I’m 71 retired US Marine Corp 1966-2005

Damn, I always thought they were singing "counter revolution"

Boomers are given so much shit from Millennials today. When we got scooped up and sent to go kill in a useless war we rose up, took to the streets and campuses, and changed the world. Today they change their facebook profile pic and call it a day. I'm too old now to do it again but I've given up on today's youth to repeat what has to be done.

.
I love you Grace. God Bless You!

The boomers' revolution... they switched fast af to "its hip to be square" you know folks... they just "got a haircut and got a real job" and started leeching the whole world till today.

We used to be great, we took to the streets to demand they take action and they did. Now we post to Reddit or change our profile pic and call it a day.

*WHO INVENTED THE SPACE ENTERPRISE?*
1543 - Holy Roman Empire publishes Heliocentricism where a stationary, unmovable Earth, as stated in their Bible scriptures was replaced by a spinning, orbiting, Spaceball; as taught in the major Universities, where faith was replaced by theory (pretend).

From birth, you are indoctrinated to worship the man-made constructs of Heaven and Space.

1763 - Jesuits invent Theory Atomic Energy
1809 - Jesuits invent Theory Transmutation of Species
1923 - Jesuits invent Theory Missing Link, bones lost, molds prove find
1931 - Jesuits invent Theory Big Bang, another ejaculation into the virgin source

Our history and science has been little more then a fictional story over the last 2000 years. It began, with obedience from the indoctrinated masses, these illiterates who paid tithing for faith based religion and war. Today, the indoctrinated masses, are educated idiots who pay tax on their labor for science theory and war. This is the reality propagated across the face of the Earth.

Fight The Right! Fight Islam!

When your politics were REAL important ...!!! 2019 ; Constitutional CHAOS , courtesy of the Trump Crime Family Syndicate .. . . .!!!

Says the leftists who wants regulation on guns, directly a violation of the 2ND AMMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Start the revolution. LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER

When teachers and older people criticise my generation I come to this video....

Man, the only thing wrong with this song is that it's over way too fast...

I saw the Airplane in 1971 and they closed their show with this little anthem. The crowd went berserk. People with their fists in the air. Very moving despite the fact the revolution never quite worked out.

Wow man.......your video is awesome!!

Can I not watch a vid without some shite fucking advertising? Specially this one. WTF. This makes me puke y'all. I reckon it's time to say by to Googly and all them peeps.

✨🎸🌹🎉🌀

Fuck Trump

FUCK YOU

Jefferson airplane are fantastic

I remember this song when we had them play at my family’s stadium when I was a kid. I lost a bunch of high school friends because of Vietnam

And I have a family because of the vietnam war!

Volunteers are useful idiots for the elites.

WE ENDED THE DRAFT !! BURNED MY DRAFT CARD AT TOMMY HICKS HOUSE !!!!

RogerCruz 123 My grandfather served in vietnam. He wasnt drafted. Joined the US army in 1959 to make money for his mother back at home. You fuckers will never understand why American men join the army. You are too faggoty to try and understand.

Replace the images with what's going on today. This song is so relevant! I don't know about you but when I hear this I want to take to the streets

Magnífico Temazo de Jefferson Airplane en WOODSTOCK 1969, Música en Hippie, Mítica y Excepcional, ( UN ICONO DE LIBERTAD Y DE CONTRACULTURA, EN TODA EUROPA ). " GRACIAS A EEUU, POR UN MOVIMIENTO, QUE CAMBIÓ EL MUNDO ". UN VÍDEO ESPECTACULAR, PARA UNA CANCIÓN MAGISTRAL, GRACIAS RollingStone1987, POR COMPARTIRLA. desde ESPAÑA ( EUROPA ), MI MÁS PROFUNDA ADMIRACIÓN.

0:30...everyone always makes like they are witnessing the execution of some kind of Vietnamese Bambi...research who that particular dink was and what he had done.

Great song

EN INGLES O CASTELLANO, LA MEJOR GENERACION!!! OSCAR DE BS.AS.

The only bad thing about this song is that it is too short. I wish it was longer so there would be more of it.

Too bad women weren't drafted back then.

RIP Marty. One word : Legacy.
Volunteers, we were back then. Utopia headed, no.
A great time to be young then.

Brilliant lyrics. go Marty!

Being a soldier during that era and loving this song I'll be dammed if I will ever apologize for being American..

Marty Balin jefferson airplane sonzera

RIP Marty Balin

This song still says it all.

Rest in peace, Marty.

RIP Marty Balin

rip marty balin

The generation that sold out the biggest. Sad.

My favorite vocal by the now-late Marty Balin.
The urgency of his performance reveals the hard side of the counter culture.

RIP Marty Balin

lol this song is telling of the current year, my generation (millennial's) are now rebelling against trump, when hes been elected in a fair way. my generation is a bunch of disgraceful communists, and socialists who are rioting in the streets for causes that have proven to go horribly wrong. me being 24 years old, im intellectually smarter than 90 percent (rough personal estimate) of my own generation. this is because im smarter than most people on the safety of vaccines, what GMOs have and the safety of them, personal health, gardening, and other skills, that make one self sufficient. i even know of a diet that actually helps cure obesity, and prevent alzheimers, and dementia. i know about free market, im a rarity in my generation. in fact, im the most libertarian of my generation.
my generation wants more restrictions, more big government, more taxation, they are COMPLETE FOOLS! XD and i laugh every time i hear about "oh well your part of the problem!" and i gotta love the complete ignorance of my generation, who have literally no skills.

Military Industrial complex has been destroying your prosperity

American soldiers did kill babies did they not ?

Good music taste brought me here ✌️😁

The Vietnam war was an object lesson for the military. Twenty two hundred thousand dead for what exactly? A few thousand square miles of Vietnam? Most of the conflicts today number their casualties in hundreds for first world countries. It's true a lot of people were persecuted by the Vietcong. In Indonesia five hundred thousand were killed in an anti communist purge. The lesson was to stay out of it. The Sixties represented a grand awakening of liberal America. However this was also co incidental to the emerging service industries in the first world and manufacturing in the second. So the initial liberal trends gave way to more conservative ones of profit and consumerism.

Woah this is old..

Where are the lyrics? Why say theres lyrics and not put them whats the point

Che epoca!

Look what's happening to our free press

Ah, the 60s, with pictures of Nixon and Presley from the 70s. Both the antithesis of what the 60s were about. As for the rest - fab!

Famous photo. Guy getting shot in the side of the head, hands tied. He deserved it.

Great song!!! It also sounds a hell of a lot like, St. Stephen by the Dead. Same chord progression.

Awesome visuals! Love from Malaysia ☮ ✌
