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.

You're right, kind sir. Haakaa Paale is good for cavalry. But if you're talking good old fashioned foot soldiers on a traditional battlefield, you put you the Wicked Tinkers up on a hill and play that pipe tune and you get the men (and women!) singing it and crashing their weapons in tempo and you charge on the last note of the last chorus....
