Several options here. Plenty of military hymns. Theme from Private Ryan, songs from the We Were Soldiers soundtrack, if you're trying to be serious.

Good luck on your music video, but keep in mind that G.I. Joe is not an anime and will not be allowed on the local server.

Mebbe, 60's protest songs, like "We Gotta Get Outta this Place" or "War: What is it good for?" etc

Er, I'd argue against going that way unlesss you're actively trying to be funny. "War" set to GI JOE especially would make me laugh unless done really, really well, and GI JOE isn't exactly known for its scenes of high drama.

tip: try coming up with a theme,next instead of just slapping some song into an anime that you like, try going through you music and find a good song(a good song will be the one that you feel some type of emotion from) and build an anime around that

I concur with this assessment. I never choose anime first. Don't really choose the song either. Most video ideas come to me while I'm driving and the song starts sending me pictures of the anime that fits to it. Then I don't have any trouble editing, because the storyboard is already in my mind. Trying to force a video just because you want to use that series... Just doesn't really work.

The creator doesn't choose the video, the video chooses the creator.
