“Come on you sons of bitches. Did you think you would live forever”.

Thanks for this -- I think it was paraphrased in Clint Eastwood's "Heartbreak Ridge" in the conversation between Chouzou (sp?) and Gunny Highway where he says "You're too ugly to live forever."

I wonder if Dan Daley was the inspiration for the Highway character.

"I wonder if Dan Daley was the inspiration for the Highway character.

I don't know about that. I can tell you there are only a couple pictures of Dan Daley and not a whole lot known about his life. He died not too long after retiring from the Marine Corps. One thing is he was pretty short so Gunny Highway wouldn't have fit that bill... : )

One things for sure about that movie, they took every Marine saying they could find and crammed it in that movie. When I first saw it, I couldn't stop laughing because I probably heard everything he said in that movie within a couple days previous..
