Battle Cries



Incase you need more reasons to validating stupid decisions, maybe some battle cries will help you go further and do more... what does not kill you only makes you stronger... you get the idea

wired had an article on the subject, pretty impressive.

Examples:
  • 1. "This is where we fight! This is where they die!"
    King Leonidas

    In 300, the king of Sparta uses this catchy jingle to rally his troops against the Persians. It scores big points for clarity, but it really gets a boost when 300 Spartans shout "HA-OOH!" in response.

  • 2. "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?"
    Sergeant Major Daniel Daly

    Besieged and outnumbered at the 1918 Battle of Belleau Wood, Daly egged on his men with a rhetorical question — and it actually worked. So well that Johnny Rico reused the line in Starship Troopers.
