"Was it a male sand flea or a female sand flea?"
Classic stuff. Pure Webb.
Taking the company out to search for the dead sand flea. Your mind reels. You know it is stupid. But is the order illegal? No, because no ones life is jeapordized by the order. And while everyone hates doing this - getting sweaty, sandy, and dirty - no one hates the DI. The hate the screw up, because if he just stopped trying to think and rationalize - just do it - then everything goes smoothly.
I bet liberals hate and detest this movie!
