| Milforum Hitman  | Post; U.s.a. ! U.s.a. ! "U.S.A. ! U.S.A. ! U.S.A. !" I know it may sound weird but it was the NewYorkers shouting it before Prez Bush, at Ground Zero. It was firefighters, NYPD agents, and thousand of other people. It sounded as a military battlecry to the world. Reminded me of something like a Maori outcried ritual song, some sort of an outspoken threat before going to battle. It was the spirit of America, brothers. And it has become a military quote ever since.

| Buttercup  |  We're kind of known for shooting U.S.A! U.S.A! whenever we get the chance, but I like the way you think.

But THAT one time, it sounded different, way more than a "whenever-we-get-the-chance"-kind of thing, of course. That day it was a war threat, anger and pride all being brought out. | |

| Optio | Well...personally I get a little chill every time I hear a crowd shout U.S.A. But maybe it's just me.

| Nuclear Duck Hunter | I like that sound. Even better than the pungent smell of Cordite.

In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
