3dFrontier.com forum commentary on the best science fiction battlecries.  (Though some of these ... well, quite a few, actually ... don't originate from SF.)

I notice the forum missed a few.  Two in particular spring to mind; the first:

Muad'dib!

And if "Semper fi, do or die" belongs in there, then so does the other motto of Uncle Sam's Misguided Chidren:

Hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle.

And I'd like to nominate one more, even though it isn't SF either, and doesn't even have the connection of the Once And Future Marines to carry it into the category.  But I think it carries as much weight and honor, and means just as much, as any of the entries nominated on that list and above.

It's just two words.

Let's roll.

Wanted fan for building spacecraft,
wanted fan for shooting back
Wanted fan for running Linux
that the government can't hack.

Wanted fan for breaking orbit,
putting bases on the moon,
but the government can't chase us
busy chasing some typhoon.

Wanted fan in Luna City
holding World-con on the moon
on the hundredth annivers'ry
hope I do not die too soon.</em?
