I was browsing through some more haka videos.
No Yankee yell? (They can't appropriate the Rebel yell.) The United States (and Western Europeans) really need to recover or recreate their war chants. Military drills of the modern nation-state are a poor substitute, and one can't really do them on the playing field of a stadium anyways, even if one had a band. Would the recovery of European war chants entail embracing a form of neo-paganism which is at odds with Christian civilization? Maybe. Did the Byzantine armies have any sort of war cries in addition to their hymns and prayers?
