Trivia?

This was in the second paragraph "(Eisenhower later enlisted in the Navy Reserve)." Is it significant? RJFJR (talk) 14:48, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

About "Origin"

First just - A lot of water has flown under the bridges since I was active at (this) Wikipedia (or any other Wiki). My name is John P Eriksson, Sweden, 59 years old. Around 1977-78 I began to listen to CCR ("Live In Europe" 2xLP was my first CCR-record and it includes "Fortunate Son", which together with "Up Around the Bend", "Bad Moon Rising" etc soon became unforgettable splendid rock songs) Some years later I learned that "Fortunate Son" which truly is great piece of rock music sooner,than what's stated in the article, is about the fortunate ones, young men who should have become enlisted for the war, but who circumvented the enlistment through their very rich or other ways powerful fathers. Some lyrics from John Fogerty :

• "Hear me, hear me - I ain't no senators son"
• "Hear me, hear me - I ain't no millionaire's son"
• "Hear me, hear me - I ain't no military's son"
• "I ain't no fortunate son"

Except for having listened to this song again, I ain't having no source. But am I wrong ??? If not, I would you friends to help me finding good sources from that time 1969-1975. And improve this particulary article part. Please! And whatever mr Fogerty might have written some 45 years later, his perspective or memory or might have changed since. The truth as of 1969 was Fogerty's displeasement of the fortunate ones who trough special channels managed to keep their sons out of that war. /John P Eriksson 83.254.179.26 (talk) 04:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
