Air Force
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!”
SSG Ricciardelli, great question, I definitely agree with the Patton speech; another good one that immediately comes to mind is the inspirational speech from the movie "Braveheart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr_OpFxCx-A
SSG R, great movie, those are two powerful scenes as well; if you haven't already read "1776" by David McCullough, it's a great read that really add perspective and brings this time period to life, highly recommended!

Soldier with Mortar: What coordinates, sir?
Captain Stillman: [annoyed] Coordinates?
Soldier with Mortar: Yes, sir, they determine where the mortar's...
Captain Stillman: Soldier, the army has spent a lot of money teaching you to fire that thing. Now set it and fire it.
Soldier with Mortar: Sir, we don't know where the shell's gonna...
Captain Stillman: Soldier. The only way to learn anything is to do it. Now fire the weapon.
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
ok my last one for this thread
John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.
Russell Ziskey: Well I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!
