It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good ole-fashioned rant. Normally I live in a zen-like state where nothing gets to me. This was harshly interrupted the other day by a dishonest, stupid person who asked to do a guest post for my site. (I guess he didn’t read this guest posting guide.)

(These are the kind of clips that make me want to get out there and start a new life.)
This got me thinking about some of my personal favorite “pre-battle” speeches.
You know, the ones where a strong character encourages another (or others) to find the courage that lies within.
So to life your spirits before the weekend, I’ve included 10 of my personal favorites. Know some of them aren’t specific to war, but you get the picture when you watch them…
