Ahhh but there are some great quotes from that movie and this man:
uttered most of them.
Though the most memorable quote for me was:
Pvt Joker: "How can you shoot women and children"?Door Gunner: "Its easy. You just don't lead them as much!"
The second most memorable quote for me is:
Door Gunner: Fires weapon out door of helicopter and then states: "Anyone who runs is V.C. Anyone who stands still is well-disciplined V.C."
Classic Stuff!
I'm sure I must seem overly sensitive but I was right in the middle of that war and I am very proud of the performance of all those guys I knew over there.
HARTMAN: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows? Private Cowboy?
COWBOY: Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!
HARTMAN: That’s affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twelve people from a twenty-eight-storey observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?
SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!
HARTMAN: That’s right, and do you know how far away he was?
SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!
HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?
JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!
