Children's Suite - No. 4 - Toy Soldiers
This piece is clearly militaristic, but hopefully only with a naive child's view of what war is really about. This piece has too much cheer, that would only inspire toy soliders, not real soliders.

Story behind the song
Any piece of music suggesting military is required to use a lot of open 4th and 5th sounds, suggestive of horns. Explosive percussion helps also. The piano can pull this off because, technically, the piano is a percussive instrument.
My very favorite activity as a young boy was playing with toy soldiers of any era-- WW III, Civil War, Indians and cowboys, Romans, you name it. I'd make forts out of any scrap I could find and would saw into blocks, and use as cannon balls or hand granades, to wipe out in one minute the enemy that took me a half hour to set up.
