Annotation — Song Poems
- "In Defense of" - Label: Command Performance Records # CP 252 - Songwriter: Alfred King - Song poem, Hollywood, California, USA, traditional pop. - Pro-Calley and the My Lai Massacre - About time someone spoke out in defense of Calley - Some say he killed woman and children - but he followed orders, they are there to be carried out - President you need to understand, it was someone else's fault. You can't put the blame on one man's back. Scapegoat - Would he have been crucified (Jesus comparison) if he had dropped the bomb on Hiroshima (WW2), how many woman and children died there? - Injustice carried out, he's not guilty
