General Joseph Warren
One of the most successful losses of the American Revolution was the Battle of Bunker Hill, where the British sacrificed 800 men to take Bunker and Breed's Hills, while the Colonials suffered minimal losses and only retreated after running out of ammunition. While the official reason of the British was the hills' strategic locations, the ferocity and desperation is better explained by the last recorded words of General Joseph Warren, who fought at the front of the battle to the death. He stood in front of the defenses, spread his arms and shouted at the British force, in your Infuriating Quote of the Day, "Do you wanna go?! Do you...I'm right here, do you wanna go?! COME AT ME BRO!!!!!"
