[this isn't a serious reply]
"Army" and "rock music?" This came to mind first
Rockin' for its time.
Be intent on loyalty
While others aspire to perform meritorious services
Concentrate on purity of intent
While those around you are beset by egoism

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

You'll need it for balance.

Re: trying to find rock music about the army
Its much harder to find pro-war songs from the rock and roll era.....
apparently there was a bit TOO much war going on at the time.

Re: trying to find rock music about the army
Specifically mentioning the Army, or themes about the army? Does it have to be the US Army? Does it have to be about modern conflict? Also, in one place you say military, in the other you say Army...
Since I expect you are looking for gung-ho, type music, I expect you will have difficulty. Reason being that almost all rock music about war & military themes is critical of war (even if it is sympathetic to the soldiers). You might have some luck with Death-Metal stuff, but it is not my area of expertise.
Still, here are a few off the top of my head
Matthew Good - Silent Army in the Trees. This one is genius, both poetically and musically. Definately worth a listen. I love how he contrasts the naieve idealism/imagination of our youth with the sometimes tragic realities of life as a soldier.
As for more well known artists:
Iron Maiden has a wide selection of tracks inspired by themes of War, "Aces High", "Where Eagles Dare", "These Colors Don't Run"
Metallica - Don't Tread on Me, Back to the Front, Disposable Heroes, Hero of the Day, One
Suggestions from others...
Ted Nugent apparently has lots of right-wing "patriotic" stuff, but I never listened to him, so I can't say.
Somebody suggested Godsmack, but I have no idea what song they are thinking of. "War and Peace" is about inner conflict, not war.

Critical Acclaim by "Avenged Seven Fold" is a good tune but the lyrics aren't Frontroom friendly.

'Hammerhead' by The Offspring is about a school shooter who thinks he is a soldier......it's not about the army....and probably not what Hooahguy was looking for.Originally Posted by Hosakawa Tito
the last part of the lyrics is pretty clear:
Locked and loaded, gonna find my truth
Now I'm busting through
All hell breaks loose
And you can all hide behind your desks now
And you can cry, "teacher come help me!"
Through you all, my aim is true

Re: trying to find rock music about the army
Don't beat yourself up...first video I thought of was Metallica's "Day that Never Comes"...which of course, has nothing to do with the Army...even if the video does.

I always thought that Day that Never Comes was about domestic violence. Turns out it's about something much more lame.
