"Soldiers' songs calling the politicians might make better reading especially under more recent wars."

Britain's armed forces tend to be a-political and making any political statement is frowned upon. One exception related to what you state above is the WWII song "D-Day Dodgers":

"Now Lady Astor, get a load of this.
Don't stand up on a platform and talk a load of piss.
You're the nation's sweetheart, the nation's pride
We think your mouth's too bloody wide.
We are the D-Day Dodgers, in Sunny Italy."

All as a result of:

"A rumour spread during the war that the term was publicized by Viscountess Astor, a Member of the British Parliament, who supposedly used the expression in public after a disillusioned serviceman in Italy signed a letter to her as being from a "D-Day Dodger." However, there is no record that she actually said this, in or out of Parliament, and she herself denied ever saying it.
