I like what the american indian warriors would say before a battle....it is a good day to die......(at least thats what they said in a John Wayne movie)

I prefer the Patton* version, “it’s a good day for the enemy b******s to die!”

*There is no hint of evidence that General Patton ever said this, but it sounds like something he would have said.

That was in Little Big Man, and I doubt they copied it from a John Wayne movie.

The Lakota Sioux did say that. I believe Mari Sandoz wrote about that in Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas.
