Answer 10

Unfortunately, there hasn't been the influx of anti-war songs with this generation's war that was seen with the Vietnam war. I think it is because there is not draft with this war, and until kids are FORCED to go fight, they won't care enough about it to protest. There are some out there, but anti war subject popularity still isn't were it was back then.
