Sorry Major Burns, but this is one topic I really enjoy.
I think that the Army cadence, is a bit extra ordinary.
but not to change the topic, the Marines are rather good too.
When the DI starts to march.
During their marches all he is really saying : Left, right, left , right.
but the way he sounds it off, kind of gives it class.
In this video, you will see an example:

I have a ton of favorites but one that the privates loved when I was on the trail was "Killing The Baby Seals". But the one that got them most motivated was "Napalm Sticks to Kids". Pretty sure that you don't want to use them in today's PC environment.
Killing The Baby Seals
Way up north where the air gets cold
We're running out of money and we're running out of gold
So now I earn my living
Killing the baby seals (arp arp)
You can hit `em with a bat you can hit `em with a brick
You can poke `em in th eye with your eye pokin stick
That's how I earn my living
Killing the baby seals (arp arp)
You can slash `em in the head you can slash `em in the throat
Then throw `em in the back of your fishing boat
That's how I earn my living
Killing the baby seals (arp arp)
My wife and kids they hate me
The Army they just won't take me
because I earn my living
Killing the baby seals (arp arp)
Napalm Sticks to Kids
We shoot the sick, the young, the lame,
We do our best to maim,
Because the kills all count the same,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Chorus: Napalm Napalm sticks to kids,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Flying low across the trees,
Pilots doing what they please,
Dropping frags on refugees,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Goods in the open, making hay,
But I can hear the gunships say,
"There'll be no Chieu Hoi today,"
Napalm sticks to kids.
See those farmers over there,
Watch me get them with a pair,
Blood and guts just everywhere,
Napalm sticks to kids.
I've only seen it happen twice,
But both times it was mighty nice,
Shooting peasants planting rice,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Napalm, son, is lots of fun,
Dropped in a bomb or shot from a gun,
It gets the gooks when on the run,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Drop some napalm on a farm,
It won't do them any harm,
Just burn off their legs and arms,
Napalm sticks to kids.
CIA with guns for hire,
Montagnards around a fire,
Napalm makes the fire go higher,
Napalm sticks to kids.
I've been told it's not so neat,
To catch gooks burning in the street,
But burning flesh, it smells to sweet,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Children sucking on a mother's tit,
Wounded gooks down in a pit,
Dow Chemical doesn't give a shit,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Bombadiers don't care a bit,
Just as long as the pieces fit,
When you stuff the bodies in a pit,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Eighteen kids in a No Fire Zone,
Rooks under arms and going home,
Last in line goes home alone,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Chuck in a sampan, sitting in the stern,
They don't think their boats will burn,
Those damn gooks will never learn,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Cobras flying in the sun,
Killing gooks is lots of fun,
Get one pregnant and it's two for one,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Shoot civilians where they sit,
Take some pictures as you split,
All your life you'll remember it,
Napalm sticks to kids.
NVA are all hard core,
Flechettes never are a bore,
Throw those PSYOPS out the door,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Gather kids as you fly over town,
By throwing candy on the ground,
Then grease 'em when they gather 'round,
Napalm sticks to kids.
Those M60 tracers fired thru the night
The sounds of mortars blasting over head
When I looked around all my friends were dead
Up came Charlie from a muddy lake
So I had to cut him up with my Gerber blade
And I will tell you no lies
Cross my heart and hope to die
Two little kids on a patty dyke
Well they're aiming stakes for a Cobra strike
Two little kids in a field of wheat
So I called on in some Willy Peat
And I will tell you no fibs
Napalm it sticks to kids
I wish that all the ladies were bricks in a pile and I was a mason i'd lay em all in style...
You get my drift lol
