Dear faste37, jim, and all others who appreciated my analysis.
In my opinion there can be little doubt that Dylan had the Vietnam war
in mind, whatever he may have said afterwards, he wouldn't have
admitted it if someone had confronted him with this interpretation
anyway. It fits perfectly only wi
Yes, your point is a valid one, and I don't know what Dylan said about this
song. But I don't always take at face value what authors say their work is
about, since high-quality work often contains levels of meaning of
which the author himself was largely unaware.

makes me engage with an old song in a new way, which is what good
criticism of any poem or song should do.

Excellent analysis. That this was an anti-war song had never occurred to me
before, but seems obvious now.
