Quotations


Good luck, boys! Be careful. No one gets left behind.

It'd probably help to wash the blood out of the humvees.

Just watch your corner and get all your men back here alive.

Sergeant Eversmann, I heard you guys needed a lift.

Sergeant, you can't control who gets hit or who doesn't. Who falls out of a chopper, or why. It ain't up to you. It's just war.

Watch for Skinnies. They're all over the rooftops. They're in prayer, but not for much longer.
