Now in Sept. 2008, when I hear this song I can't help but think of Presidential Candidate John McCain (a former Vietnam War pilot)!!!
I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was a kid and the Vietnam War was still on. Yes, I think it's an anti-war song, but it also pokes fun at those who feel that God leads America into battle. My only defense for those who may think that way is that the Bible (in the original Hebrew) clearly says "Thou shalt not MURDER". Killing to defend one's self, or to defend one's nation from attack is not only permitted, but is sometimes actually commanded by God in the Bible. So The Animals anti-war "bullet" has missed the mark! Oh, well... it's still a fun song to listen to!
@RayMan Serbia NEEDED a bit of Bombing. Watch Angelina Jolie's "Land of Blood and Honey." (She Directed it-didn't star in it.) And the Vietcong and Khmer Rouge WERE Brutes. But the US had the philosophy "Kill em ALL and let God sort em out."

People like you are responsible for Vietnam, Rwanda, bombing of Serbia. Try to watch less television.
