Fortunate Son by CCR. its all about rich kids not getting drafted because they come from money. Fogherty thought it was bullshit and wrote the song.

^ that was more first thought, wont get fooled again was my second, ohio is from the era, but its not about the war, just the kent state thing... but that was caused by protesting the war im pretty sure... so i guess it counts

ahah i love country joe and the fish's songs. They are either about not fighting or about getting high. I feel like they have a song that might be called "vietnam war song" i dont know if thats the real name... it might be the same as what that dude up there said, but who knows...

ohio by crosby stills nash and young is definitely the best song. it has more to do with the kent state killings though
