Is this ours? Or yours?

Oooo thank you for including our Military musical groups MM! I should have gotten around to that sooner. Every year when I introduce patriotic songs to my students I tell them about our military groups. In some branches the musicians have to go through boot camp; in others they do not. But a great way to make a living if you're a musician and serve your country too! They're among the last to take up arms in an actual war as you can imagine---I mean the sax player out on the front lines, not your first choice probably. heh

Not very many Republican troops in the portion of that I watched.

Because why not: From Gustav Holst' "The Planets"...."Mars, the Bringer of War"

I suppose this could be considered the war song of 2/1 Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.
