The song is a social influence on the war considering that political songs, became very popular at the time of war. The songs also strongly and clearly showed the support of anti-war. The title of the song "Bring the Boys Home" shows that the author wanted an end to the war, meaning the author was a "dove", which wanted to stop the fighting. The writer also proves the "Credibility Gap" by saying that alot of the soldiers coming home were dead, showing the loss of lives and the war. However, America continued to tell their people that they were winning, which was then disproved by the media and it's social influence on people.
