What is your favorite national anthem?

[Arkalis]

it is an honor to die for one's nation...not the country

i respectfully disagree.

i think that are better ways to help your nation than dying defending a fort or bridge or a plaza.

The American National Anthem is actually starting to grow on me:

Like the title say, what is your favorite national anthem?

Personally I don't really like the Canadian one. It's a bit too joyful for my taste.

My favorite is the Turkish national anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEbJS...eature=related it's pretty catchy

I'd say my close second is the Israel one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jjVB...eature=related

Does the Turkish one bring up the Armenian genocide? Oh wait according to them it never happened. Fuck that theocratic sharia run country.

In the words of General George S. Patton, "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

I don't know about you guys, but I'm a pretty big fan of the UED's and the Dominion's anthems.

Being a racial minority who was born and raised in Canada - I have mixed feelings on our anthem.

For one, growing up - I didn't understand why we had to sing the British Anthem (GOD SAVE THE QUEEN) After our own Anthem. They could've explained it much better.

Our anthem really falls short on that "umph" and "patriotism" compared to other anthems.
That could be a good or bad thing, but it has colonial overtones in it with God stuff in it.

This is why this anthem rocks

My favorite is The Star Spangled Banner. But I like the German. I have heard a lot when I was there I used to know some of the words.
