Question for our service members

[Hoofhurr]

I was thinking of the Braveheart, Starship Troopers, Gladiator, Troy, hollywood movie or war videogame commander pre-battle speeches. Is that all bullshit or do (or did) generals really speak to their troops like that before battle? Who inspired American revolutionary tendencies more, a fiery Patrick Henry of Virginia or a rational Ben Franklin of Philadelphia?
