That's maybe a good song lyric but not especially useful as an argument here.

There are plenty of historical examples. For just American wars, we have the American Revolution, the Civil War, WW2, the Korean War, the Vietnam War.

WW1 is a notable exception.

For the values of 'song' that include 'famous speeches by Mussolini/Schrute'.

I believe it was Marcus Aurelius who wrote 'It is not little details that a man making a dumb joke should fear'.
