War Cries for WoF - Give us your best

[Ozi]

I figured it never hurts to hear some great motivational sayings.

We are at War with the world and many mobs must die before this is settled. This is a World of Firepower that we are trying to win.

I encourage everyone to come up with their favourite quotes for inspiration.

Here is a quote I love to get things started

General Patton:
"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country"

[Rooster]

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall fight, with growing confidence and strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill

It's not the winning or losing that matters, or even the taking part, it's how drunk you get...

- Homer Simpson

But of course, my favorite has to be the famous Welsh cry of War:

"Oggi Oggi Oggi !!"

to which, traditionally, you would reply :

"Oy Oy Oy !"

This exchange is repeated, once, before :

"Oggi !"

To which, similarly, you would reply :

"Oy !"

And once again this refrain is repeated once each...

Before ending, with the now familiar cry :

"Oggi Oggi Oggi !!"

to which, once again, you would reply :

"Oy Oy Oy !"



Classic

[Oracle]

I am proud to lead England and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my fellow countrymen in battle!

To represent one’s country is every red-blooded Englishman’s dream. Fate has selected the few brave men who will live out their destiny and bring honour to our shores.

In the banality of our everyday lives we mere mortals are but shadows in the dust. We must seize the hour and write our names in the folklore of Calypso, our brave actions becoming the myth and inspiration of future generations.

My English brothers, I’d rather fight alongside you than any army of ubers. But we fight not against the mobs nor even against our valiant opponents. We fight for Queen and country, for England’s glory and most of all for each other, comrades in arms.

In years to come you will be asked where you fought so bravely, you will answer, ‘I was here this day on Calypso for the freedom and glory of England!’.

So let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves, that a thousand years from now, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour!'.
