<<My take is that Joni brilliantly juxtaposes the horror and realities of war that her generation faced with the golden innocence of a time when Johnny Angel seemed all a girl would think about.>>
And I have always heard "Charlie Angel" which further supports your point, Jerry..."Charlie" being the name that was used in Vietnam, although I forget whether we called them that or they called us that. The "Killer Kyle" story was one that Joni sat on for a LONG time. It's based on her conversations with a soldier back when she was touring in the Carolinas and was one of the few to play Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC (nicknamed Fayette-Nam). The same guy is the subject of "There's a man who sends me medals, he is bleeding from the war".
