As I listened to the songs assigned I associated each one with Full Metal Jacket and then associated it with the characters in the movie.
For example... Joker's helmet said 'Born to Kill' yet he wore a peace sign and the song Eve of Destruction said, 'you dont believe in war- whats that gun you're toting.' This relates to Vietnam too in the big picture, the American president wanted to be in the war to stop communism yet the majority of American people did not want to be in war, which is also expressed in the songs and shows more of the confusion and one source giving two signs/opinions. Then that confustion realtes to the mixmatching of music and emotional scenes in FMJ.
Did anyone else run into all these circles when listening to the songs and thinking about FMJ and the book we read about Vietnam??
