Tom T Hall - Hello Vietnam, Barry Sadler - Ballad Of The Green Berets etc.

Excellent list, thank you.

There were more-or-less right-wing "answer" songs to Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" ("Dawn of Correction") and Buffy St.Marie's "Universal Soldier" ("Universal Coward"), which, as I recall, was by Jan and/or Dean.

There are also lots and lots of really disgusting songs, racist and otherwise, by various far-right performers.
