RIP Warrior, Vaya con Dios
I think Mad Mike might have influenced Warren Zevon's writing of "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner"
NSFW: If you haven't heard it in a while..

The following are a series of war correspondence films from the Simba Rebellion in the Congo in 1964/65 set to the tune of "Roland the Thompson Gunner" by Warren Zevon. The film features a platoon of mercenaries from Europe conducting a platoon attack on the town of Boende in the Cong. The mercenaries primarily come from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Of note there is an ex-ss officer in the film according to the source, I can't confirm this though.
It features some brutal combat and the summary execution of a rebel so it is NSFW.
Song: Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
Artist: Warren Zevon
Album: The Best Of Warren Zevon (US Release)
