You remember Hudson in "Aliens"?

Your quote just made me remember something funny about that movie. Back when I was in the Army and was doing the Operation Desert Storm thing (oh how I wish we were allowed to finish the job back then) my buddies and I were constantly doing Hudson impressions to lighten things up. I think Hudson almost became the patron saint of our squad.

Example:

Squad Leader: We're expecting to encounter some Republican Guard elements at our next position.

grunt #1: Republican Guard? Game over, man, game over!

Squad leader: From what we've seen, it should be no problem. My six-year-old daughter could take these guys with one arm tied behind her back."

grunt #2: Well, WHY DON'T WE PUT HER IN CHARGE!

Of course, the NCOs didn't always think it was funny.

another favorite:

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Burly Female Marine: No, have you?
