Interesting how the "Universal Soldier" concept - at its peak in the 1960/1970s has pretty well vanished today. Today all we hear about is respect for the brave men and women in uniform.

Thank you for this great EP.
"Universal Soldier" is one of those great songs, what can take time and all kind of versions.
