Short form: NOT intentional. And like most of the film - NOT in the play.
……….
Compiled & edited from 2 sites:
For the record, the plot is so different in the film, that many of the songs were shortened, sped up, rearranged, or assigned to different characters to fit them in.
*In original stage show, Claude Bukowski is a New York hippie who is drafted, sent to Vietnam, and dies there.
That’s it.
*In the MOVIE, Claude comes to New York City from Oklahoma after he is drafted, and is befriended by a group of hippies before being sent to Army training camp.
They introduce him to their lifestyle & psychedelics before he leaves for boot camp.
THEN they drive to Nevada to visit him at training camp.
*In the play, Claude is from "dirty, mucky, polluted Flushing," in Queens, but wishes he was from "Manchester, England.” (cf:The “British Invasion”)
The song’s inclusion in the FILM is too preposterous to describe.
Other changes:
Hippie Sheila Franklin is falls in love with Berger, not Claude.
Jeannie was "knocked up" by a speed freak, not by either Woof or Hud.
** The most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale.
In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam.
Here’s the sequence in detail:
Berger cuts his hair and dons the uniform, drives onto Army base, finds Claude and offers to replace him for the next headcount so that Claude can attend the group’s going-away picnic in the desert.
But just after Claude slips away to the picnic, the base is fully activated and begins immediate ship-outs for Vietnam.
Horrified, BERGER is herded onto the plane to be shipped out.
Claude returns and frantically pursues Berger's plane in vain.

I think it depends on the war. World War II had to be fought, for example.
