One curious aspect of the 1980s is just how many movies (usually from America) that were released about the War in Vietnam (otherwise known in Vietnam as the American War), such as Born on the Fourth of July, Hamburger Hill, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket (filmed in the United Kingdom though). Anyway, here we have Paul Hardcastle, also British, with his release of 19, about the average of American soldiers in the war (although I'm sure the generals were older than 19 init). Anyway, one year before 19 was released, the Australian bang Redgum released I Was Only 19, which had more of a ballad feel.
