Bob Dylan – Clean Cut Kid Lyrics 6 years ago
Most likely, it is about the army taking "clean cut" kids and messing them up psychologically by making them into killers.

During the Vietnam War / My Lai Massacre, when Seymour Hersh was interviewing the mother of Paul Meadlo (one of the participants in the massacre), his mother said, “I sent them a good boy and they made him a murderer.”

The lyrics mention, "They sent him to a napalm health spa", or "A jeep to drive, blood to spill", and the grief of the parents: " His mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moans".
