Hoot: When I get home people will ask me, “Hey Hoot, why do you do it man? Why? You some war junkie?” You know what I’ll say? I won’t say a goddamn word. Why? They won’t understand. They won’t understand why we do it. They won’t understand that it’s about the men next to you, and that’s it. That’s all it is.
Hoot: Y’know what I think? Don’t really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.
Hoot: Sergeant, you got your men this far. You did it right today. Now you gotta start thinking about getting them out of here.
Eversmann: Nobody asks to be a hero, it just sometimes turns out that way.
Struecker: No one gets left behind, you know that.
