Can't see the connection, myself.
Perhaps Toddly sees a deeper conspiracy factor.

Think I'd post something without vetting it?
Wikipedia - List of anti-war songs

1969 "Galveston" Glen Campbell

Campbell's recording of the song, released in 1969, was perceived as being a Vietnam War protest song but Campbell performed it up-tempo, conveying a more general message. The protagonist is a soldier, as shown in the original promo video with Campbell dressed up in a military outfit. Webb described it as an anti-war song, and challenged Campbell's version of his song and the notion that it was in any way a "patriotic song"

Cracking cover version by this lot:

Black Grape - Anti Warhole (on the dancefloor)

A song from WWII about the French Resistance. Preferred Buffy St. Marie's version of this song but Cohen's vid is better. Song is in English and French.

Nena-99 Luftballons


And before you ask (I checked);

"99 Luftballons" (German Neunundneunzig Luftballons, "99 air balloons") is an anti-war protest song by the German band Nena. . .

Start yer own thread yer warmongering bastard.

Love and peace, man.

Man, I hadn't heard Barry McGuire's; Eve of Destruction, in a coon's age!! <-which just so we're clear, is NOT a racist remark, but in reference to the alleged longevity of racoons.

Okay, I'm takin' a leap here. This song is not so much anti-war as the effects war has on the people who serve and come back
Huey Lewis & the News; Walking on a Thin Line

That video has better pictures.
