America’s Army™ (Die Jugend Marschiert)

This band is, hands-down, the greatest band to ever emerge from the underground punk scene! So, as follows, here is what I believe the entire song to be:

I agree with everyone who said it's about "America's Army", created by the US Military to get kids involved with a video game depicting the 'glory' of war. However, under the surface, this is anything but true!

Colonel Casey Wardynski is the director of the U.S. Army’s OEMA (Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis) at the United States Military Academy. He was the project originator/coordinator/founder. He basically created this war machine/tool that is now being used to hook/line/sinker the future generation of children into loving war and sticking it in their heads that in real life, they will get to do exactly what they are doing in the game. Exploiting children early gains them their confidence in the future. If the military can be cool enough to make us this game they must rock!

Moving right along through the song, after COL. dick-head is introduced, he surprises the audience by outrageous, Freudian slips. At first, he announces everything in a manner that is pleasing, like all political propaganda, to hear. However, towards the end of the mainstream speech part, he slips and lets everyone know that they've actually help support the war agenda by being so stupid they couldn't see this game for what it really was: a trojan horse to allow the US Military to enter their children's lives. And not only that, the people actually paid for their stupidity outright.

Pink is a soft, non-threatening color, so naturally they've chosen it as their prime directive for "background-noise", because on the surface, it's soothing, but underneath it's another trojan horse.

So now, everyone is outraged, but it's too fucking late, so the COL. tells them all to, basically, shut the fuck up and just sit back down, because soon they'll all be dead and their children will belong to him. And in the end, the children will only know the glorious propaganda-influenced military community, rather than their relationship to nature and the power of human liberty.

OUTSTANDING SONG!

This song is the shit, I always thought this game was fucking crazy for parents to let their kids play.

Ha, this song is also challenging all war games that glorify and brainwash kids and young adults.

the songs meaning aside counterstrike doesnt really glorify war in an apparent way to me other then trivialising it

so if people take things to that level then surely any video game depicting violence is gloryfying it

but take grand theft auto for example, the game that gets the most shit from the media, politicians etc. GTA mocks gang warfare, police bruitality, drug dealing, the arms trade, war and all forms of violence if you take the time to pay attention to the storyline behind it (which is funny as fuck by the way)

AA is shite though and propagandhi have a very good point

interesting to note that its trying to get me to to join the british army at the bottom of the screen...

It is important to note the song "Die Jugend Marschiert" at the start of the song and understand what the song actually talks about. It's lyrics are pretty damn disturbing, and the song makes a point of equating the ideology of national and ideological superiority of the neo cons' economic imperialism and the NSDAP's chauvinistic foreign policy.

"Die Jugend marschiert mit frohem Gesang bei Sonnenschein und Regen; die Jugend marschiert mit sieghaftem Drang dem großen Ziel entgegen. Wir stürmen die Welt, geh'n fest unser'n Schritt wer jung ist der fügt sich freilich mit, die Jugend marschiert, kein Pfad ist zu steil, dem Siege entgegen zu eil'n. Sieg Heil!"

which with a bit of quick translation work roughly means

"The Youth are marching with cheerful song in the sun and rain. The Youth are marching with victorious purpose towards the big objective. We'll take over World, going steady in our steps Whoever is young gives themselves up [to Hitler Youth] freely The Youth are marching, no path is too steep to slow down the way to victory. Sieg, as they say, Heil"

“When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”

Adolf Hitler

About Ameri(kkk)a's Army, a video game which glories the Army, and the recent Army recruiting campain. Damn, I love this band. And I'm getting a U.S. Army add at the top of the screen, ironcally.
