Kidding me!
Start singing cadence songs and wish are troops the best!

Are troops the best what, exactly?

BTW - It's really a shame you missed the 70s. They were the best years of a lot of people's lives. Even better than the 60s.

Were you really surprised that the poster who can't write a complete sentence is obviously a war supporter? I'm not surprised at all!
I wasn't around for the 60's, but the 70's were a cool time to be a kid!

Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates

YouTube - Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates (live)

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance

And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down a muddy river

10,000 Maniacs - Latin One

YouTube - 10000 Maniacs (Natalie Merchant) singing The Latin One on The Word

Bent double like old beggars in sacks
Knockkneed and cursing or coughing like hags
Men marched on sleeping some without boots
Fatigue drunken deaf still to the hoots
Of breaking gas shells
Dropping softly behind
but limped on bloodshod
All went lame all went blind

Gas gas quick boys fumbling helmets in time
Someone still screaming a man in fire or lime
Under a grey cloud dim dark through green light
In all my dreaming before my helpless sight
He plunges at me
Choking guttering drowning
Put in a wagon he had to Keep pace
As his eyes melt to his face

If you could hear blood
Gurgling from ruptured lungs
If you could witness
Vile sores on innocent tongues
You would not tell me
Not with such pride and such zest
the lies of history
Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori
Some desperate glory
Pro patria mori
As witness disturbs the story
Pro patria mori
Stand firm boys breathe the glory

I am ashamed to have forgotten this one. Joan Baez turned me on to it when I saw her in concert a couple of months ago.
