What is your favorite inspirational military speech from a movie or tv show?
My favorite is President Thomas Whitmore's speech from the movie "Independence Day".
“Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join
others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest
aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should
have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty
differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps
it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be
fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution…
but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.
And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as
an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice:
“We will not go quietly into the night!” We’re going to live on! We’re
going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
