Fortunate Son is a perfectly good song to for draft dodgers: Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes They send you down to war And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" They only answer, "More, more, more" It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, one But don't take my word for it; ask John Fogarty himself: https://deadline.com/2020/09/john-fogerty-donald-trump-fortunate-son-1234575603/ https://deadline.com/2020/09/john-fogerty-donald-trump-fortu... He said that the “inspiration for the song” was the disparity in those who were drafted and those who were getting deferments. “Back in those days we still had a draft, and something I was very upset about was the fact that people of privilege, in other words rich people or people of position, could use that to avoid the draft and not be taken into the military,” Fogerty said. People interpreting Fortunate Son as a celebration of military service (it seems to me these are mostly the same people who also use Born in the USA as if it were a celebration of the US) are the ones in the wrong here.
