Brig. Gen. Norman Cota (Robert Mitchum) in "The Longest Day" for the following quote:
"Only two kinds of people are gonna stay on this beach: those that are already dead and those that are gonna die. Now get off your butts. You guys are the Fighting 29th."
My favorite scenes involved the two lone German pilots, and how much disdain they had for their superiors.
Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller: [speaking in German] Thank you, my dear Hans! You have just killed both of us!
[slams down phone]
Luftwaffe major: It is getting very difficult to get any sleep around here.
Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller: Your prospects for a long sleep have just improved. The invasion has begun at Normandy. We are to fly there and attack with our two planes.
