Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner (a Norwegian mercenary in the Congo War is assassinated by one of his comrades who is in cahoots with the CIA, and his head is blown off, but being headless doesn't stop him from coming back for revenge).

Camouflage (a US soldier's life is saved by a ghostly Marine in Vietnam).

The Battle Hymn of the Republic (patriotic song of the Union, American Civil War)

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (wistful and historically accurate song about the fall of the Confederacy).

Each war and its era has its own social climate and feeling:

  • Rise Against, sung by Hero of War, reflects current sentiments of war.
  • Blowin' In the Wind, sung by Peter, Paul, and Mary is a sampling of the sadness over war during the Vietnam era.
  • Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, sung by the Andrews Sisters and Over There, sung by Jimmy Cagney reflect the efforts of entertainers to keep the spirits up of the soldiers and the folks back home. Over There was written to encourage the soldiers of WWI and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy were designed to raise spirits and entertain.

See the links below to hear these songs. Also, elyrics.net has the lyrics to these songs, type in the name of the song and be sure to select by 'text in song' to get the lyrics.
