Wow! You blew me away. I always thought "Protocol" really had to do with World War II more than Vietnam. (By the way, not that anyone cares, but of the choices you gave, mine is definitely "Protocol".
The line that gives me a shiver down my spine (remember that's what Sylvia Tyson said that about the line, "You can't jump a jet plane/like you can a freight train") is the line in that song, "Where are the boys in their coats of blue/who flew when their eyes were blind"...
I think that's the line that made me think he was actually talking about World War II. (The RAF????) But then, yeah, you're right ... he DOES mention not only Saigon but also Wounded Knee. Maybe it's just a song about war in general!
Stay loose, eh?

"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."
