Why do you hate Freedom?
The US is marching backward to the values of Michael Stivic.
When Frontline finally did its big 4-hour summation of the first Gulf War, they had a really great scene: A bunch of tankers had just been informed that the war was over, and they put on the only tape they had laying around, James Brown's "I Feel Good."
The video of those soldiers dancing in the sand and on their tanks to James Brown left a lasting impression. In an odd way, "I Feel Good" has become the funkiest war song of all time.
Go home British soldiers by eire og
Come out ye black and tans by the wolftones
Blind King , thats a bit much for the Frontroom![]()

"The Green Fields of France" , by anyone with a decent voice .
"The Band played waltzing Matilda ", the Pogues do it great .
And of course "War" by Edwin Starr
What counts as a war song? Soungs about war or just those that are patriotic songs or official military songs? (ex. the Marine Corps Hymn)
If songs about war are good as well here are two that I like:
Sgt Mackenzie
by Joseph Kilna Mackenzie
In memory of Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie
Seaforth Highlanders
Who along with many others gave up his life
So that we can live free
We will remember them
Parts of the the song Sgt Mackenzie was featured in the movie We Were Soldiers.
Lyrics
English Translation:
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone
Original Scottish Version
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When the Tigers Broke Free
by Pink Floyd
Lyrics
It was just before dawn one miserable morning
in black forty-four
when the forward commander was told to sit tight
when asked that his men be withdrawn
And the generals gave thanks as the other ranks
held be the enemy tanks - for a while
And then the Anzio beachhead was held for the price
of a few hundred ordinary lives
And kind old King George sent mother a note
when he heard that father was gone
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll
with golden leaf and all
And I found it one day in a drawer of old
photographs hidden away
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
It was dark all around
There was frost on the ground
When the tigers broke free
And noone survived from the Royal Fusiliers Company C
They were all left behind
Most of them dead
The rest of them dying
And that's how the High Command took my Daddy from me
