Could you guys help me out? I need some war-themed (battlefield, army, etc) songs (for or against) that blatantly state war is the theme of the song. Broadway songs or popular songs would be great.

Thanks! :)

Try a google search on the following shows:

THIS IS THE ARMY by Irving Berlin - a World War II revue that featured an all-soldier cast. Numerous comedic songs about army life.

CALL ME MISTER by Harold Rome - a post WWII revue that featured a cast of veterans (and women who had been USO entertainers). Numerous songs about adjusting to life after the war.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
