"Johnny won't be coming home, hurrah! Hurrah! He's off to fight for hearth and home, hurrah! Hurrah! He'll march through snow, he'll march through rain to cleanse and burn the fascist stain And he'll only be done when freedom reigns again..."
The rising sun shall set, the black sun shall fall, in the darkness the bells of freedom shall toll, and we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home, yes we'll all be free when Johnny comes marching home.
Imagine an OFN propaganda poster putting a Viet Cong guerilla and an South African soldier in the same frame saying "These men are your friend, they fight for freedom"
"Remember folks, the Browns (fascists) and Tans (Japanese) are out to get you! Be wary of them and always be vigilant! America and the Free World depend on it!"
I say you take inspiration from those American WW2 postcards that featured America’s allies I.E the Brits, Soviets etc and had a text that said “This man is (enter nationality), he fights for your freedom

fall rockwell thing i just wrote "when the fritz started a war with us we thought they were insane, however we never expected the speed of the conquest in south america and the massive navy the nazis put at our shore... however there was one thing they didnt account for... we were going to fight to last man, all 200 million of us..."
Beautiful, but I tell you, in an alternate world where the Nazis invade the Americas, here in the south people would fight to the last man as in the independence of the Spanish

Yes.....everybody's dream is the us troops fight for everyone's freedom instead. Every country hates Russia but nobody wants to start war against .... African countries call for aid but refugees (young men) runaway to Europe.....yes everyone wants freedom but nobody wants to fight for it.

"America, despite its innumerable and glaring faults, was still founded on a dream of freedom. The fascists of the world spat on that dream, and rubbed it to ashes." "That dream may be ashes, but we have a duty to turn the fascists into the same. Even if it means we go too."

"Johnny won't be coming home, hurrah! hurrah!" He's off to fight for liberty, hurrah! hurrah! He'll march through snow, he'll march through rain, to cleanse and burn the fascist stain! And he'll only be done when Freedom reigns again!" And he'll only be done when Freedom reigns again!" Edit 11/24/2021: I like Henry Haile's suggestion and have changed the lyrics. I liked hearth and home so I thought of another verse. Johnny won't be coming home, hurrah! hurrah! He's off to fight for hearth and home, hurrah! hurrah! His mother, his sister, children, and wife, they won't cry when they wave him goodbye 'Cause they know he'll come home when freedom reigns again! 'Cause they know he'll come home when freedom reigns again! Another bit: The war may rage on and on, hurrah, hurrah! But Johnny'll fight and even die, hurrah, hurrah! But if that flag still waves so free, and men all live in liberty! Johnny comes home through the souls of you and me! Johnny comes home through the souls of you and me! Edit 12/29/2021: Another verse. So Johnny yell that Yankee yell hurrah, hurrah! Send them to the pits of hell, hurrah, hurrah! God marches on his bugle calls, may our banner never fall! And He'll only be done when Freedom reigns again! And He'll only be done when Freedom reigns again! The giant now awakes again, hurrah, hurrah! Her strength and glory knows no end hurrah, hurrah! Remember the millions came that before, now rally forth a million more! And we'll only be done when Freedom reigns again! And we'll only be done when Freedom reigns again! I also know the whites in Zimbabwe would probably collaborate with Huttig and the Nazis but they could make a neat little tune with "Dixieland Union Version."
Minor improvements to yours "Johnny won't be coming home, hurrah! Hurrah! He's off to fight for hearth and home, hurrah! Hurrah! He'll march through snow, he'll march through rain to cleanse and burn the fascist stain And he'll only be done when freedom reigns again And he'll only be done when freedom reigns again"
Or you can change to "He'll march through the rain, he'll march through the snow to cleanse the world of the facist stain And he will only rest when liberty reigns again"
Made alternate lyrics/second part of the song: "Oh Johny won't be coming home, hurrah! Hurrah! He's fighting right now for our souls, hurrah! Hurrah! And he knows that one day, one distant day, humanity's freedom shall prevail, And he knows that one day freedom will reign again"
How about this for the third verse? “The war may rage yet on and on, hurrah, hurrah! And Johnny won’t live to see it won, hurrah, hurrah! But if that brave flag still waves so free, and all men live in liberty, Johnny comes home through the souls of you and me! Johnny comes home through the souls of you and me!”
I often play as Russia in Tno and after seeing this, the awesome image of Soviet and American helicopters flying in formation together to stomp the Hun popped into my mind. Ivan and Johnny makin sure Hans wont be coming home.
I imagine an American/Soviet poster propaganda featuring American and Soviet soldiers with the sentence in English and Russian "These men fight for your freedom. Enlist now, the freedom shall not die"

Imagine you a young man sitting in one of those choppas en route to a random civil war in Africa or Asia. You know that its up to you and your brothers in arms to aid the rebels and make the tiny spark of freedom a little brighter salvaging what little you can from this rotten world. As your transport nears the landing zone you are reminded of the images that are now entrenched in your nightmares. The nazi Empire standing over Europe like a mighty Leviathan. Their machines and soldiers powerful and many. Almost invincible. Same with the Japanese. You shudder at the thought of facing their forces but when you see the hopeful eyes of the populace awaiting your arrival you know that the risk is worth it.
Being of my TNO play through: The fighting men of the 1st and 2nd marine battalions will always be remembered as the saviors who sacrificed there lives for the Liberation of the Philippines.

Although the original intent for the SAW was a Vietnam analogue, I think it also works as the game's equivalent to the Korean War. (Conflict over a mix of wide open and extremely hilly terrain, southern government backed by a UN/NATO style organization, massive infantry zerg rushes combined with aerial dogfights and bombardments, North becomes a brutal totalitarian hellhole etc). Plus the Post-Colonial Conflicts if the Mandates fail and/or Huttig goes completely batshit.
I wonder how the SAW would affect US vets returning home even in a total war and peace victory for the OFN. Maybe seeing the horrors of the nazis first hand would create a much stronger left wing in the US
DPRK was literally better and more developed than the American puppet regime of ROK until the 1980s. I don't think that applies to the wackjob Reichkommissariat Huttig has but the other one where the Nazis ate preparing the Africans for self rule would fit
@@josephpentony4804 True, but the Parties in TNO are somewhat different from our Timeline. Left NPP is strongly for Intervention and especially anti-Japanese Revanchism while also representing a Social Democracy and Socialist Welfare Programs/Economic Reforms. And considering that it's a cold war where Communism isn't present (only if Soviet Remnants reunify Russia, and even than they would most likely side with the Americans, or at least not be hostile to them) it seems possible that a moderate Left Wing party grows in Popularity when their country is the biggest bastion against Fascism.
i love the feeling this song gives. it feels like its broken, beaten, battered and on its last leg. and yet, there is still that powerful rhythm and cadence, as if the embers of freedom were still burning brightly deep inside of its hollow shell

It falls like, every game. They need to give SA some sort of buff for the war as rn it is all dependent on the US's aid. Maybe a less powerful version of the base game Great Patriotic War. Or make it possible to avoid the Boar Republic from coming out entirely.
@@MM-jn7nb Honestly its more realistic that way. The South African War is supposed to mirror OTL's Vietnam war. South Vietnam was completely helpless without US aid, so it makes sense to do the same with South Africa.
@@restitutororbis964 There is a major diffrence though, in this the USA cant put hundreds of thousands on the ground in South Africa normaly (Unless they do some stuff the AI never does with its divisions) so SA normaly loses. It should at least have a chance at survival for the AI and be a bit easier for a player.
Thats becuase tno's world is in my opinion more oppressive than that of kaiserreich, nazi germany winning world war 2 is more haunting than the german empire winning world war 1

“Johnny comes marching home” is a sad song about a soldier who is fighting in the civil war. They sing about the day that Johnny comes home praying that he’ll be safe but knowing that it’ll never happen.
This fits The New Order perfectly, or any nuclear war scenario for that matter. Or better yet, the last remains of the US military trying to fight off the Combine.

If Johnny came marching home again Hurrah! Hurrah! We’d give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah! Hurrah! No more men to cheer and few boys left to shout The ladies can’t bring themselves to come out No we all must pray cause Johnny’s not coming home No we all must pray cause Johnny’s not coming home Get ready as the Jerrys come Hurrah!
