Happy Memorial Day from the That Grape Juice family to yours!
To ode the brave men and women who fight to protect our countries (on both sides of the pond), we’ve assembled a collection of military-themed music videos that we’ve grown to love over the years.
From Mariah Carey’s ‘I Still Believe’ to the iconic Janet Jackson‘s ‘Rhythm Nation’, the efforts of military servicemen and women have long stood as muses for some of music’s most memorable videos.

Michael Jackson’s ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ Prison Version
Wow… Unbelievable.. My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black manThey met through ~~MìxedMatchìng.Çoм ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, etc….)If you are single, perhaps you can have a try.
Although it features an irrelevant pigeon faced b****, it’s still goes along with the theme.

HARD & WHITNEY!
I think over half of these videos glamorize the military and real war… Trey Songz, Katy Perry and maybe Chris Brown did it right. But seriously Candy Man??
The military is filled with real women and men who do enjoy a smile during their day. I get what you’re saying, but this was just military-THEMED, not “Based On A True Story.”
Slow news day?
lol right
Rihannas hard & Katy Perry Part of me are the best
lolololol
Rhythm Nation and Survivor!
“I Still Believe” and “Touch It” are some true tunes for sure. I love this entire list actually! Great job TGJ!
How is survivor military? just because their wearing camouflage
lol…there is also a helicopter
Rhythm Nation is iconic.
Keri hilson looked so cute in the Trey Songz music video.
Christinas Candy Man?????? lol um Wtf no shouldn’t be on here
umm aren’t the navy and marines part of the military?
Survivor is LEGENDARY tbh!
HARD>>>>>>>
i’m shocked to see cher’s “if i could turn back time” here. and this is my first time seeing madonna’s real “american life” video. i looove it much better than that cheap s*** that was on tv
RHYTHM NATION is the BOMB…Infact the impact of this video can be seen in Michael’s HIStory and it’s accompanying world tour besides several of today’s music artists…
oooh,and look at how gorgeous Mariah is in I STILL BELIEVE channeling MARILYN MONROE,I love this woman
The two best videos in this post. Kids choosing the lessors as always though… 🙂
Judging by the way they downplay legends on this site,i’m not surprised
Marilyn Monroe was/is the most beautiful woman ever, Mariah, Madonna and others look like clowns while trying to imitate her.
speak for your fave,Mariah don’t look like anybody’s clown in this video 🙂 🙂 🙂 …she was channeling marilyn,not imitating.
Channeling or Imitating, i have never seen a woman do Marilyn justice, just not, just to think about all these women trying to be her, eww!!!!.
DAMN,They’re only paying homage…they aren’t trying to be her.I know i’ll never win this argument but i think MC did a good job on I STILL BELIEVE just as MADGE did a brilliant job in LIVE TO TELL paying homage to MARILYN
Í still believe>>>>
Survivor>>>>
Iconic.
I also like Katy Pery. Part of me
“I still believe”.
Will always slay
LOL ci-errors gimmi dat?
Candy man was a cute video. I loved rhythm nation also.
I would say Mariah and Rihanna kinda embody the theme the most. Mariah really went 100% with the whole Marilyn Monroe look and actually filmed with the troops so that was kool.
I love Rihanna’s costuming and the videos concept really works!
Janet Jackson‘s ‘Rhythm Nation and Madonna’s American Life are the best.
I cried when keri died in the trey songz vid 🙁 lol
Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation”, obviously.
