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.

Oh yeah. Though some of their ammunition left a good deal to be desired.

Hey, let me have about 8 Thompson magazines....
