"Very Pretty Colonel, but can they fight?" (Donald Sutherland, The Dirty Dozen)

...that has got to be the funniest war-picture line I have ever heard. You really made my day.

Oddball the tank commander of Kelly's Heroes''s *Oh man, I only ride in 'em, [tanks] I don't know what makes 'em run, comes mighty close, and has been adopted by an awful lot of treadhead officers and NCOs of my acquaintance.

Woof! WoofWoofWoof!... that's my other dog imitation....

The prototype burned-out G.I.

He was truly hilarious.

Of course...he was that way before being drafted ! Hearing those lines brought back a LOT for me. I am in your debt (as usual...and enjoying every second!).

How about every single line uttered by Crapgame (Don Rickles) in that movie?

Redneck Soldier: "Damn, son! You smell lak a m'nure pahle!"

Crapgame: "Kinda makes ya homesick, don't it?!?"

Other Redneck Soldier: "It does, kinda, don't it, ol' buddy?"

Telly Savalas' Big Joe was great, too. I wish ALL NCO's were something like that...tough as nails, but always looking out for their men first.

As an aside, I always liked the weapons loadout the platoon used for their heist. Seems they had everything covered well...Thompsons for most, a sniper rifle, BAR's and Brownings for heavy work. Certainly, a better thought-out setup than one normally sees in war movies or shoot-em-up flicks.
