Band of Brothers (Shakespeare, not HBO)

For those who have short memories (ok, I didn't remember it either without looking it up), England and the English-speakers of this world can put their enemies in a world of hurt very, very quickly. The English triumph over the French at Agincourt, as memorialized by the famous DWEM (dead white european male) Wm. Shakespeare, while fiction, is based on the larger truth. The English, and now, their cultural heirs, the Americans, will do what it takes to conquer evil.

As spoken by King Harry (Henry) in King Henry V, act 4, sc. 3, l. 60-7 (1600):

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
