True but it's also one of very few emotionally charged and/or controversial topics that people can still sing about while still being permitted to go mainstream, considering all the songs that were written (and several which became quite popular) criticizing and/or contemplating previous wars, it's pretty wild how we don't have more songs these days about the wars in the middle east, and the only political songs allowed now are either "america is big bad dumb redneck" or "god bless murica" and absolutely nothing more nuanced than that
