The Rolling Stones hit Paint It Black, or wooly bully, followed by we got to get out of this place.

Now that I think about it, Merle Haggard had 1 that was Best, and even more relevent today...

THE FIGHTIN' SIDE OF ME - Merle Haggard

(Top Chart Position: #1 on February 7, 1970)

I hear people talkin' bad

About the way we have to live here in this country

Harpin' on the wars we fight

An' gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be.

-

And I don't mind 'em switchin' sides and

Standin' up for things they believe in

When they're runnin' down my country, man

They're walking on the fighin' side of me!

-

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down the way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

-

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'

If you're runnin' down my country man

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me!

-

I read about some squirrelly guy

Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'

And I wonder just how long

The rest of us can count on bein' free.

-

They love our milk and honey

But they preach about some other way of livin'

When they're runnin down my country, hoss

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me!

-

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down our way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

Nana64 picked the one I would choose. It is also a good one for this war.

It's easy to separate the idiots for this question.

Thanx Nana it was good to hear that one again.

What do you mean? In-country or back here in the world? (That means Viet-Nam or the USA) Over there we had songs like Napalm Sticks to Kids ( Written by Austrailian soldier.) ,Gooks In the Wire ( American soldier song), Fire Fight, Post Mark This Letter... Viet-Nam, Humpin' the Boonies... Hummin' the Tuneies, Run through the Jungle, Bad Moon A' Risin', We Gotta get Out of This Place, Paint it Black, Revolution, Fightin Side of Me, Dear Mom, and many more. Back here.... well you other people have pretty well answered that.
