"The Ballad of the Green Berets" is a 1966 patriotic song co-written and performed by #BarrySadler, in the style of a ballad about the #UnitedStatesArmySpecialForces. It was one of the few popular songs of the #VietnamWar years to cast the military in a positive light.

In a similar vein, and my fav from that year, but The A Team theme was released 2 days before I was.

No, not _that_ one.
