To be fair, “Fortunate Son” isn’t per se an anti-military song. It’s attacking politicians (and their children) who start wars and haven’t fought themselves or won’t let their kids serve.

I agree. I love CCR, even though John Fogerty turned into an a**hole in his later years. Hey, we have all made mistakes. He was a genius in his time. His song about baseball is a real gem.

It is very inappropriate in this instance. But it was entirely appropriate when it was written, and for the point it made at that time.
It’s all about context.
