hm.. and now that i think about it.. why not add most of discharge's stuff as well?.. at least up to 'hear nothing see nothing say nothing' and 'why?' .. they started to blow shortly after imho.... and well.. even older than that: the soft boys - i wanna destroy you

guess thats it

very nice selection of songs. especially the greatest band of the fin de siecle (VOID)!
"gimme my grenades i already got my boots
fuck all this discipline
i just wanna kill"

please read my old old VOID inspired (and 100% true) short story:

"All Good Soldiers", Bad Religion.
"Seccret Soldiers", the Ruts
"No Fuckin' War", The Dicks

Not exactly the motif here, but usable.

I am pro soldiers and pro military. That is exactly why I am anti- war. I can think of no better tribute to our army than to get them home and safe.

Respect for soldiers? Serving for a shithead-government? This is nothing to be proud of.

Some more good suggestions...
Last night another soldier - Angelic upstarts.
Another man´s cause - The levellers.
War babies - Urban dogs.
American zone - T.s.o.l .
Subhumans - religious wars.
