Hi, one and all............
Given QC's forthright opinion with cultural aspects of multi-racial society and its tribal rivalries, would the PC alteration of the Redskins name with Washington's football franchise, suggest the anthem will be altered away from 'Free and the Brave', which I have always assumed to be an inclusive expression of joint sovereignties. Or have I misunderstood the lyric?
In UK, a long standing hatred of the English persists amongst some Scots and it is all rather boring, really.

My old and dear friend HR. There is only one anthem that enters into the picture here. It is
"Hail to the Redskins. Hail victory Braves on the warpath. Fight for old DC"
I have heartburn against the Scots. I watch a lot of British mysteries. They are after all the best. Whenever they feature a Scottish actor though I can't understand a goddamned word he/she is saying. I wish they would speak English. They do have redeeming value though, which makes up for their lack of understandable diction, that originates in the Glens and Bens

At Verdun, France organised 226 planes into fighter “escadrilles” including the Lafayette Squadron composed largely of American pilots. The unit was commissioned in April 1916—a year before the United States officially entered the war—and its roster eventually included 38 “Yankee” expatriates and veterans of the French Foreign Legion. The squadron won fame for Indian brave emblems on its Nieuport fighters and a pair of lion cub mascots named “Whiskey” and “Soda,” and held its own in the air chalking up some three-dozen aerial victories, most of them during five months of service at Verdun
