What do you feel when you sing the National Anthem?

pleasant...

dont be suprised, everything in this world seems to be about blood these days. :|

The French national anthem has been in place constantly from 1879, so I wouldn't say it's something new...

Well... the fifth line of the Portuguese Anthem chorus: "Contra os canhões marchar, marchar" (Against the cannons march, march!) is an alteration of the original "Contra os bretões marchar, marchar" (Against the Britons march, march!). This was due back on that time the United Kingdom issued an ultimatum demanding Portugal give up its intentions of occupying the land between the African colonies of Angola, on the western coast, and Mozambique, on the eastern coast, thus joining the two territories.

@EXTspotter: Yes the original name of that bridge was "Ponte Salazar" (Salazar bridge), that was the Prime Minister and de facto dictator of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. After that revolution they decided to erase Salazar name from history and renamed the bridge "25th of April bridge".

I actually read a book about Portugal, According to Pereira(im not sure if this is the correct translation) a journalist that works at the lisboa. It talked about the Salazarian dictatorship

I feel proud to be a citizen. Proud to be an American citizen. Proud to go into the USAF when I am older, like many of my family members. I'm just living in China for two years. The communist national anthem makes me sick!
