Why don't songs have soldier references like during Vietnam?
 
Just a question I had while listening to classic rock in the garage. So many song's from the late 60's to early 70's had references to the plight of soldiers in Vietnam, but I haven't noticed any about the soldiers in Iraq. Of course I mainly listen to old rock, but I hear enough new stuff to think I'd catch something. I realize there's no draft, but with all the folks against the war, I think musicians would do more.

Believe it or not, there ARE bands who actually DO support our troops...

This video came out right after the Iraqi War first started, in 2003.

There are songs like that but I think its mostly rap. I cant really say I never really understood that kind of music.

Interestingly enough, I found a song about the Gulf War in 1990. "Train" by Uncle Tupelo...

There are bands out there that have some references.
Avenged Sevenfold has a song about Iraq. Not exactly like a 60's folk song but.......

They had to write music because they didn't have the Internet yet!

What would possess you to watch a video called Gay Bar Music? Is there something you are not telling us?
