Lyrics
Unless Springsteen Joel has explicitly allowed the use in wikipedia or released them to the public domain, displaying them here is a copyright violation, that's why i removed and moved the link to external links. Providing the a link to to a side featuring the lyrics should be ok. If I'm mistaken please note here why and add the lyrics again, but do not add them without making sure that there is no copyright problem.--Kmhkmh (talk) 07:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I guess I was looking at a Springsteen entry in parallel or something.--Kmhkmh (talk) 15:38, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, both of them did write songs about that topic (both of which had very popular videos on MTV) within a couple years of each other. Grundle2600 (talk) 19:12, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

i don't think Charlie and Baker referred to specific people as insinuated in the article, but Charlie company and Baker company which would have been Company C and Company B in military parlance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.47.109.105 (talk) 14:32, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I also think that "Charlie" and "Baker" would refer to Charlie and Baker companies of a particular battalion. Charlie and Baker are the World War II phonetic alphabet words for the letters "C" and "B". These two words were still being used as company designators during the Vietnam War for, I believe, historical reasons rather than the post WW II, NATO words "Charlie" and "Bravo". Similarly the "Viet Cong" aka "VC" aka "Victor Charlie" was abbreviated to "Charlie" in Viet Nam era slang. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.154.48 (talk) 03:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
