Appeal to Logos in "I Ain't Marching Anymore"

"I Ain't Marching Anymore" is a protest song that goes against the Vietnam war and advocates against sending solders to fight. Although the song connects with the youth on an emotional level, the song also relies on logic to persuade. The song focuses on historical facts to discourage recurrences in the future. In a convincing manner, the song lists many battles and wars that America has been involved in throughout the years. This shows how much fighting and violence makes up American's past. Also, the song expresses the negative aspects of war, such as, "yes, I even killed my brothers". By stating these consequences of war, they appeal to the logical though process that death is bad. Similarly, another lines states, "when I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning", proving that the past soldiers are learning the uselessness of war. Lastly, the song creates a sound argument that concludes with, "I ain't marching anymore". Another song, "Fight War Not Wars" by Crass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jce4-CXTXzA), also has a similar meaning. This song repeats the title over and over with accompanying music ensuring the meaning comes across to the audience. The idea of fighting a war and not multiple wars plays into logical thinking, because it makes sense to do something once as opposed to doing the same thing over and over. When "I ain't Marching Anymore" lists previous wars, it also shows the idea that multiple wars are ineffective.
