I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her ... Soldiers, fire!" - Michel Ney, one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s generals, after requesting and being given permission to command the firing squad that would have him executed for treason. Pretty badass.

Ney ruined his lawyer's effort by interrupting him and stating: "I am French and I will remain French"."
