Death! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!
- Eomer, from the Lord of the Rings
What was this guy thinking? I wonder if he looked behind him and saw his men exchange shifty glances. I know if my battle commander shouted something like this I would turn my horse around and ride the other way 
Yeah, yeah
They do all think they're going to die anyway, though. Might as well do it glorious-like with poetic speeches I love the Theoden bit (well, it's Theoden in the movie, sorry Camilla) that's a poem really, about the days that have gone down in the west. I suppose I just like beautiful doom

They haven't lost enough wars for that, maybe?

I find this Euro-speculation humorous and misguided.

Well, if you like that, are you rethinking your initial assessment of the battle cry?

Who's lumping several societies into one? The European Union, most likley. *NM*

Don't really see your point on the Alamo. You don't people think would be motivated by that?
