African and Samoan is where it's at. There's just that raw 'soul' and rhythm you don't get from the overly-regimented cadences of western armies, in my opinion.
War cadences should have a bit of primal flair to them. At least that's how I feel about it.

It's bizarre yet powerful when performed by modern warriors that have traded war paint for dress uniforms and fatigues. God I wish we adopted the culture of Native Americans for our military. Would have been infinitely better than the god awful cadences we had while I was in. Fucking 'C-130 rollin' down da strip' all day every fucking day, with our warrior cadences banned by command for not being 'civilized' and PC enough. I'm not even fucking joking, our LTC wouldn't allow us to do shit like 'so early in the morning' for us artillery folks, or even some of the (admittedly cheesy and purposefully goofy) classics like 'napalm sticks to kids'. By the time I got out, they wouldn't even allow 'yellow bird'.

So impressed with European chimpouts were they have to drag half the world into their petty and childish hissy fits. And their cadences still suck. Who is intimidated by fruity clarinets and little tiny drums operated by children to some yankie doodle tune? About as fierce as mayonnaise.
And you want to talk about real wars? There's wars that have only just recently concluded that have been going on for 30+ years while us in the West start protesting and throwing in the towel after 4.

>>392680
A good cadence/chant does both. It riles up your troops and makes your opponents think you're insane and/or foreign to their understanding of behavior. It's mind games. What's funny is even Yuropoors actually have some decent cadences, but they are vocal, not this gay instrumental crap made for opera houses. A march to battle is suppose to get the blood pumping. It psyches up your troops and taps into their primal instincts to fight and kill like the apex predators that Humans are when you strip away all their 'civility'.
It's pretty watered down in western militaries because they are too concerned with their appearance to the sensibilities of civilians back home who will never have to taste any remote semblance of war; But it's still there to some degree if you dig far enough.
>>392687
Unfortunately, it's very hard to dig up. Obviously, the only way that sort of thing ends up on the net is typically when outsiders get the occasional chance to film it.

I'm American as well. In Basic Training, we had so many Samoans in our company that we had platoon hakas and a company haka. We would do the platoon hakas whenever we were doing something involving interplatoon competition and the company haka whenever the drill sergeants or the CO wanted to make us do it.
It was pretty cool. The Samoans made all of them up and we all got to rehearse the moves. Its what we did instead of DnC, and the only DnC I know now is "Half right... face! Front leaning rest position... move!" And whenever someone calls counter column and I'm in front, I shit my pants and promptly run into everyone.
But I know some cool hakas though.

I'm jelly. Our First Sergeant was Samoan and we had a few spread out amongst the battery, but they never brought up hakas. It's unfortunate, but our gay ass LTC probably would have barred us from doing it anyway because he was a full on wehraboo(We were stationed in Vilseck) obsessed with observing German traditions just because our garrison happened to be there.
Combat Arms gets some decent cadences whenever they aren't fucking banned, though. My favorite was always 'ready to roll', where the whole cadence is just going down each type of 155mm shell and what it does to the enemy. There's a lot of ammo types, so the cadence can get fairly lengthy on longer marches or in morning PT.

Western military cadences are designed to set a marching speed you fucking retard.
In actual battle Western armies tend to approach silently specifically because man's natural instinct is to yell and be aggressive in such a situation. The Romans are thought to have originated the idea and it scared the absolute shit fuck out of the Italics and Gauls.
>Africans beat Europeans powers
https://youtu.be/1csr0dxalpI?t=2m52s
Stay mad Tyrone. European powers literally got bored and LEFT. They conquered Africa and Asia as a literal fucking GAME, a way to compare dick size with other Europeans countries. When the age of colonialism ended, it was voluntary on the part of the European powers, not because they were "embarrassed" or beaten in any way. They didn't have any real need for colonies after WWII. And yet, European influence in these areas is still huge.

Probably the best scene in the movie
>>393189
Is there any other way to describe a world war? I mean the first one was started just because some random faggot literally no one cared about got shot, and the second was because some weenie was ass-blasted that he couldn't make a career out of his shitty art.
At least when wars get started in sub-saharan Africa, it's usually over actual land and resources and the rights for global trade like in Numibia, and not just because some autist wasn't hugged enough by their parents. The only reason we haven't had another world war in Europe is because nukes have finally forced yuropoors to behave themselves and stop killing millions of people every time some people get their feelings hurt.
>>394130
I fucking hate wehraboo shit and even I really dug this scene. They found a way to make even a ridiculous German cadence sound intimidating. I think it's mostly because of the music, though.

Dude if anything it's the exact contrary, what's more like a chimp, killing the next guy for money or because he's from a country allied to another country in which the successor to another country allied to yours was killed?
And goddamn, defining the cause of world war two as "some weenie was ass-blasted that he couldn't make a career out of his shitty art" is "swedes are jealous of somalis because they don't have culture" tier
>>395105
Definitely the latter. The former you're actually getting something out of it, and people can actually understand why you might be risking your life. The latter is ridiculous bullshit where millions are killed over arbitrary agreements made between a tiny handful of people with zero regard or benefit to the people they are above. The conflict in question has no actual point, and is the utter epitome of beaurocracy; Where you engage in devastating wars literally because some piece of paper tells them they have to.
>>395123
You're forgetting about 2000 years of conflicts, regulations, laws and diplomatic relations that "piece of paper" is born from. To throw in the toilet everything civilization stands for you must be one simplistic fucker

>Also lets burn everyone's shit to the ground around us.
The only reason Europe has any measure of 'peace' is because nukes kept the Eastern half from burning the western half to the ground.
>>395398
Be clear about what you're talking about, nobody starts fights because of something stupid, you don't risk the future of a country over something stupid.
>let me and all of my other friends jump into fight, even though we will all get our asses kicked
That's not how it works, you don't enter a war knowing you will lose, and yes, you enter the fight or the next time you won't have someone to do so for you. What's your solution, don't ally anyone so that you can be crushed more easily?

It feels good when the normy students and first years pause to watch as we go by. Stunned by a tradition they thought was dead but is still proudly carried forward.
a good marching song lifts the one up, makes one feel glad for his sore feet and brave in the face of death.
You can't judge a marching song until you've sung it with over a douzen men with a banner at the head.
>>395656

Everyone in the 1860's was. Pretty much every song, even the patriotic ones like Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Battlecry of Freedom, had northern and southern versions.
