Annotation
Country singer Johnny Selph's 1968 song "Soldiers' Christmas" (Bion # 4), took the perspective of a soldier away at war, writing to his mother that he will not be home for Christmas: "I'm a fighting man...there is a job here for me". It did not take a pro or anti line, so a plight of the soldier song.
