In response...

It does mention aspects of Vietnam, particularly these lyrics:

you're old enough to kill but not for votin'

Because there was a huge debate about letting 18 year-olds being drafted for a war when they couldn't even vote--so, basically, it was like they were being forced into a war they couldn't voice an opinion about as far as voting went.

But...yeah.

This is one of the most powerful songs I know.
