The service and academy bands and choruses are the best. They always perform the music as it was intended, without unnecessary flourishes. Count on them for the best rendition of our National Anthem as well.
I would add Eternal Father, the Navy Hymn used in Hunt For Red October.

Not exactly a "military song", but today being the 4th, I thought our National Anthem would fit in well, especially as this performance showcases our military's choruses and bands.
"I hope and pray someday the world will learn That fires we don't put out, will bigger burn We must save freedom now, at any cost Or someday, our own freedom will be lost."

French version of the Longest Day, sung by Dalida.
Jesus Christ, it's hot out here, But I'm the lucky mother, tip of the spear
Give me water and cannon fodder, Get me outta this stinking CHU
I been thru Basra, Fucked up Falluja, Sadr City, Mosul
There weren't no chocolates, No pretty flowers, Just kill them all or we die
Ya la la yalla yalla Ya la la yalla yalla Ya la la yalla yalla Ya la la yalla yalla
At Bombaconda, the Hajis missed me, Send them on their way to paradise, Whiskey tango foxtrot gunners, Too many pogues in the way
No r and r in Kuwait city, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, I want my boots on, My battle rattle, When it's my time to die.
Ya la la, Ya la la yalla yalla
Ya la la, Ya la la yalla yalla
I had a girl her name was Gwendolyn Wanda, She rocked my world she loved my anaconda, I had a girl her name was Alda Salas, We never stopped, she'd holler yalla yalla, I had a girl, Nantucket, Massachusetts, She had a lisp, but man her ass was perfect
I had a girl her name was Alda Salas, I couldn't stop she'd holler yalla yalla I had a girl, she volunteered for PETA, She liked my gun, all fifty millimeters
I liked a girl she liked to live with danger, She liked it best when it was with a stranger
I had a girl her name was Gwendolyn Wanda, She rocked my world she loved my anaconda
I had a girl, Nantucket, Massachusetts She had a lisp, but man her ass was perfect.

We met as soulmates On Parris Inland We left as inmates From an asylum And we were sharp As sharp as knives And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives We came in spastic Like tameless horses We left in plastic As numbered corpses And we learned fast To travel light Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight We had no homefront We had no soft soap They sent us playboy They gave us bob hope We dug in deep And shot on sight And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might We had no cameras To shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe And played our Doors tapes And it was dark So dark at night And we held onto each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we'd write And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together Remember Charlie Remember Baker They left their childhood On every acre And who was wrong And who was right It didn't matter in the thick of the fight We, held the day In the palm of our hands They, ruled the night And the night, seemed to last as long as six weeks On Parris Island We held the coastline They held the highland And they were sharp As sharp as knives They heard the hum of the mortars They counted the rotors And waited for us to arrive And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together

Just about any march penned by John Philip Sousa takes me back to my Navy days. I love his stuff.

I can't listen to this without the hair on the back of my neck going up. It is not strictly a military song, I guess, but it is from a military documentary, one which I regard as the best documentary I've ever watched.
