Because that song peeked on the airways during 1968 when the vietnam war was getting intense.

That's not the only song that they played and it wasn't in every vietnam movie.

All along the watch tower etc.. It was just part of the pop culture during that movement.

Sympathy for the devil is about the world through the eyes of Lucifer. And lets be real, the Vietnam war wasn't humanities best accomplishments
