I know there a bunch of war (and anti-war) songs in the 60's and 70's, but this one from the 80's nails it perfectly.

Good song. Hard to call it the best. CCR has several great ones.
eta- I see people have already mentioned Fortunate Son, Run Through the Jungle is awesome too.

I thought you meant Saigon from Entourage at first.

It is a great song, but it's not about Vietnam. He wrote it about gun violence in the US. (Yes I listened to the interview on XM)

Well, I'm sure it was popular on AFN radio in Vietnam so I'm counting it.

Probably not a popular choice, but Rooster by Alice in Chains is pretty good.

I think is about depression... not necessarily Vietnam. But it is at the end of Full Metal Jacket.

Pretty sure was at least partially inspired by the Vietnam War.
