Well the Spartans used to have musicians accompany them as they marched into battle to give them a steadying effect and they even had their own war songs which I cannot pronounce let alone spell in the Greek.
From personal battle experience I couldn't hear a G..damned thing except for the ringing in my ears from exploding grenades, my M-60 and the ocassional RPG which exploded almost on top of me because those whom I was trying to dispatch found it annoying. I did hear some of my associates yell out "...that M.....F..... was close!" or scream "MEDIC!" Then there was the crack and pop that supersonic bullets make when they are coming very close indeed. I would venture to say that music and singing were the last things on anyone's mind. What we were thinking of was staying alive and sweet J.... get me through this just one more time.To Study The Edge of History
