When you have songs like Metallica's "One and "Disposable Heroes", Megadeth's "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and Slayer's "War Ensemble", you know Thrash does a great job in war protesting. If Thrash is about aggression and being frenetic, the theme of warfare just fits in naturally. Overall, the perfect combination :).
