This is a question with no right answer, but I'd like to know: What are some of your favorite military-related songs? Folk songs or marching songs, it doesn't matter. What HEGEL posted up-thread is a great example.

Here are some examples that I rather enjoy:

A song about the nurses of Imperial Russia from the First World War:

A ballad about the Monitor and the Merrimack. The last line in particular is great.

A Polish religious song sung at the Battle of Tannenburg in 1410

I honestly don't remember, it's been a few years since I had that chat. I think it was something to do with his understandings of the political motivations for war, but my memory is very hazy. Sorry!

I know it's rather cliche, but I'm going to have to go with this classic: http://youtu.be/e8-sMJZTYf0

You're not kidding, Charlton Griffin has a fantastic voice.

It's like Alec Guiness and/or the guy that plays Jorah in GoT.

I knew absolutely nothing about the Thirty Years War before starting the eBook the other day and I'm totally enthralled. Great purchase.
