Quotes
War is hell, ain't it?
This is a suicide mission, plain and simple.
You can't kill all of them, sir.
They may be dirty, but they're still soldiers.
We're the guys who got the job nobody else wanted.
We've all got a little dirt on us.
War is about surviving and coming home.
Sometimes you have to break the rules to win.
We're not just a bunch of misfits, we're a damn good team.
The most dangerous enemies are the ones within.
War reveals the true nature of a person.
Sometimes sacrifice is necessary for the greater good.
