There's a long tradition of anti-war sentiment in folk music. Classic examples are Pete Seeger's classics "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," and "Sky Pilot" by Eric Burdon and the Animals. Another song that has long been one of my favorites is this one by Uriah Heep. This video contains the lyrics (which can be difficult to make out) and subtitles in Russian ... my Russian is not good enough to know how accurate the translation is, but the song is appropriate for this evil time in history.
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Did you remember to turn your clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time (if applicable)?
More thoughts coming.

I think rock and the Vietnam war were made for each other.
