Wish you were here...

“Wish you were here” has always been one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, but as I listened to it this morning, I - as I often do - wonder what Waters was referring to.

Or, to be more specific, which war was Waters referring to?

Though Waters wrote at length about WWII in The Final Cut, I don't see how “Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?” can be anything other than Vietnam.

What do you think?
