Steem Wars: Day 1: Elements: Team USA submission by Colonel Hogan
Steem Wars: Day 1: Elements: Team USA
We will kickoff this epic battle with a musical tribute:
What do these songs have to do with the opening day of Steem Wars?
-The first song is "Naked Flame, by Dave Dobbyn, a band from New Zealand
-The second song is "September", by Earth, Wind and Fire, a band from USA
-The third song is "All Out of Love", by Air Supply, a band from Australia
-The fourth song is "Comfortably Numb", by Roger Waters, who is from England
-The fifth song is "Hallelujah", by Bamboo, who is from the Philippines
So we have a musical tribute to the Five Elements of Nature- FIRE, EARTH, AIR, WATER, and BAMBOO!
"You know, Norm, it's a little known fact that bamboo is the fifth element of nature". (Obscure reference to US TV show "Cheers"). For all the soon to be winners of the first ever Steem Wars, @teamusa members.

YES!!! USA USA USA
This is a great post. Very clever and some good music to boot! Nice submission.
A formidable musical defensive fortification you have erected Colonel Hogan. Whilst the other Aussie units are preparing their attacks I will have my platoon chip away at your fort.
Launching a Billy Joel, 'We didn't start the fire', and sending the rains from down in 'Africa' by Toto.
SK.
Wise choices as a warmup. You don't want to pull a muscle this early in the game. The difficulty comes in finding the New Zealand and especially Philippine bands. That is when we will "test your mettle and separate the men from the boys". That's right, the challenge is a heavy metal group and a boy band that fit the corresponding countries and categories! No one ever said battle would be easy.
The Morale is up, and our momentum is growing.. Push on through!
Would have thought you would have covered three already with Earth Wind and Fire XD
Very clever covering the elements AND the teams! And bamboo, who knew! XD
I started planning on using Earth, Wind, and Fire for three of the elements, then realized there were five elements and five teams, and thought, "What the heck, let's go for it!".
If only I could find a song title that mentioned all five elements, with 5 band members, and each one being a native of a different one of the team's country. That would be the unicorn!
The war is ON! How do i join and represent #TeamUSA?

I'm planning on doing a post later today going over the basics, but these two post by @sirknight will spell it all out. I have to help hang drywall for a friend, then back to war!
Did @sircork forward my enlistment papers, SIR?! I am prepared for battle, SIR!
Awesome! @yehey, please add @metanoia to our roll call. Our undercover operative @sircork is doing a fine job of recruitment.
Given I have no idea what Im doing yet - GREAT! :D
Looking forward to your post! This is going to be exciting.
Welcome to the team.
Thank you! Im cocked,locked and loaded.
lol, I can't say that I am cocked. hahaha But I'm ready.
We need to spread the word on that tactic I posted, but don't repeat it without deleting because you don't know who's reading from the other side.
I got your back!
I got to be honest, I have been reading like mad, and all the posts dates are all whack in the feed and I have NO idea whats going on. Or what to do. So im just gonna keep making more war propaganda untill I find out what the hell is going on and my orders.
Go get em' resteemed!!!
Thank you! They should have known better than start this battle over the 4th of July, when patriotism and testosterone are both at sky high levels.
Here's my submission: Take this, the enemy will be retreating any moment!!
