Yup, “we’re going to war!”
Why...‘cause i feel like it. ;)
This post was created with the intent of learning your (yes, you...
I’m speaking directly to you sitting right there) favorite ‘war-slogan.’
So, do you have a favorite war-cry or slogan, or motto, or saying, or song
lyrics.
Thus I guess jus’ about anything applies…but it has to be Castle-esk.
Here’s my three:
“Release the dogs of war!”
(Yah, a classic…and a bit of a cliché also.)
“The gods favor armies with the most
disciplined infantry, fastest cavalry, surest
archers and greatest generals.”
-attributed to Annuriel of Cothique
If you kill one man you are a murderer,
If you kill ten you are a monster,
If you kill a hundred you are a hero,
If you kill ten thousand you are a
Conqueror!
-Warhammer
O.k. now it’s your turn.
I’d love to hear the original maxims other people have!
