Yeah and I want to say both Romania and Vietnam have almost hilariously violent ones. US is def top half but it's far from craziest.

Romanian: "Priests, lead with your crucifixes, for our army is Christian, The motto is Liberty and its goal is holy, Better to die in battle, in full glory, Than to once again be slaves upon our ancient ground!"

And Vietnamese: "Our flag, which is dyed with the blood of victory, carries the soul of the nation (…). The path to glory is paved with enemy corpses. (…) For so long, we have contained our hatred! Let us be ready for all the sacrifices so that our life is radiant."

To be fair, the Vietnamese aren't exactly exaggerating. Besides Canada, what other country can say they beat both the USA and France in separate ground wars?
