“I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore” by Phil Ochs from Rehearsals For Retirement, 1969
“War” by Edwin Starr, Gordy single 7101, 1970
“Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” by Peter, Paul & Mary from Peter, Paul & Mary, 1962

(I should note that times have changed enough since Freda Payne, Peter, Paul & Mary, and the Cuff Links recorded their songs that we now need to bring the girls home, and we need to grieve with all the young men who have lost loved ones.)
