Fortunate Son

I like "Fortunate Son" because the lyrics are easy to understand, and it reminds me of O'Brien in The Things They Carried. O'Brien was drafted into the war against his wishes and talks about how he didn't even believe in in it. He hated the "simpleminded [patriotic]" people, which is similar to "star spangled eyes" in the song. The song also talks more about how some people were "born" to fight for their country no matter what, but others, like O'Brien, aren't rich, lucky, nor can they force themselves to believe in fighting.
