Brought back a few memories- not to compare to the Asian band playing their song Bad Moon Rising as a full moon came up out of the South China Sea behind them a day or so before heading to the mountains. That song still gives me an eerie feeling!

Anyone remember the great show China Beach and all the music? The show was fantastic and too bad there are no reruns.

I love good music and also clever lyrics.
In the day as America's best were hoping to live another day, much of the USA was not on board.
Did that affect soldiers?
Freedom of speech Americans have fought for hundreds of years made this possible - an American thing patriots insure to all.

Unless you know the backstory you wouldn’t consider Heart, “Crazy On you” a war protest song either, but…..
Anne Wilson penned all the lyrics in support of her then “Magic Man”, Michael Fisher. He’s the older brother of then Heart lead guitarist, Roger Fisher and also the band’s manager. He’s gone north across the border avoiding the draft. Anne Wilson is in love with him and has followed him north.
Every other verse alternates between an anti-Viet Nam war protest and her declaring her love for Michael Fisher. She is essentially telling him he’s done the right thing in avoiding the draft and that she’s very happy to have him in her bed, vice getting his butt blown off.

Great music. I still remember as a freshman standing in ROTC formation in uniform with an M1 while some upperclassman played Country Joe from the Johnstone dorms. It was impossible to keep a straight face. "1,2,3,4 what are we fightin' for"

Perhaps not technically an anti-war song: Paint it Black by the Stones is great***

I would have to go with “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Real life event I remember seeing on TV.

is a war protest song, but not generally thought of that way.
Basically talking about a guy going to the train station to go to Vietnam and not knowing if he'll ever come home again.
