For You Manics, The War Songs Are Never Over!

Ah War! HUH! Good God, y'all! What is it GOOD. FOR?
Well giving the Manics something to write about

Sequels To Forgotten Wars has been announced as a track on RIF.
But this got me thinking, how about a thread were we catalogue every war song and reference from their career?
This is from top of my head

GT
Slash And Burn
Plus the lyrics to Crucifix Kiss

GATS
La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A With)

THB
The Intense Humming Of Evil
Mausoleum
Revolution

EMG
Brain fart, can't think of any.

TIMTTMY
Funny story I almost thought the same as EMG but
If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next
Plus Black Dog On My Shoulder

KYE
Freedom Of Speech Won't Feed My Children
Video for So Why So Sad
Not sure about including Baby Elian as was that done out if war?

Lifeblood
Solitude Sometimes Is
And Empty Souls?
Well Vietnam is referenced in The Love Of Richard Nixon

SATT
Send Away The Tigers (Zoos in Baghdad mainly)
Imperial Bodybags
Oh yeah, Rendition

JFPL
Another brain fart unless that Invisible Armies thingy

PFAYM
(It's Not War) Just The End If Love
Autointoxication?

RTF
War reference in This Sullen Welsh Heart
30 Year War

F
Let's Go To War
Sex, Love, Power & Money?

Would anyone like to add or argue the toss and remind of the b-sides I've overlooked?
And I did think of calling this thread "The War Crimes Of Manic Street Preachers" but that might get taken the wrong way and produce a different sort of thread I didn't want.
Plus at least I didn't put on a fake German accent for the title!

Huh, that is funny.

Perhaps, Song from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless). Although I'm not sure whether cover versions count.
