GUEST,C. William Songs Critical of Military Service (34) Songs Critical of Military Service 30 Mar 10

I don't imagine this will be a popular request, but I'm looking for songs (traditional or otherwise) explicitly critical of military service or soldiers themselves. Too many pacifist anthems are too quick to absolve the individual soldier of personal responsibility for their role in perpetuating armed conflict.

I can only come up with two so far:
Universal Soldier (Buffy Sainte-Marie)
Mercenaries (Leon Rosselson)

Thanks for the help!
