““Sky Pilot” is a patriotic song from an era when patriotism wasn’t cool.”

Sky pilot was an anti-war anthem. Many radio stations refused to play it as it was considered unpatriotic.

It had sympathy for the troops. I guess that’s all I heard.

This was an era when they were called “baby killer” when they got back.

There’s no doubt it was an anti-war song, focusing on the alleged hypocrisy of the military chaplains.
