20 years from now you still live in the same place, but post-apocalypse.You can't believe it's come to this, but you're standing in a battle line with your neighbors to repel raiders. The raiders are milling about, they didn't expect this much resistance, and you see no reason to let them get organized... so as a respected elder, you heft your weapon forged from car parts and lead the charge!What's your battle cry? What do you scream as you rush to die for your community?

I have to say that I've never read a battle cry in a fantasy or sci-fi novel that I could take seriously. I'd be embarrassed to scream them for fun, let alone as my potential last words.Did real world warriors sound dorky as hell in battle? Are there any historical battle cries that had teeth, or do they sound as weak as their fictional counterparts? Is it a case of "you had to be there"?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_cry
