Combat unit, what's that? What the hell is that, John? First you talk about postpone my leave, then you talk about combat? P.S. This is a quote thread for Too Late the Hero (1970).

The order specifies Japanese speaking personnel. If you'd like to resign your commission the Navy would be happy to accept it and send you out there as a seaman second class. Would you like me to arrange that for you right now?

Captain Hornsby: Rodgers? Where the hell is he? Pvt. Tosh Hearne: You might say he's all around it. The matter of fact, you might even say he's got us surrounded.

In six months time the Japs will still be sitting in this part of the jungle and we will still be sitting in our part of the jungle. And none of this will have made a blind bit of difference.

I never asked those idiots to send me out here, but if I ever get back it'll be, "Well done, Hearne. Jolly good show. Now you can piss off home. Back to whatever dirty little hole you came from." And what are they gonna do for you, Lieutenant? Make you the bloody President?

Captain Hornsby: Good afternoon. Glad you'll be coming along. Pvt. Tosh Hearne: That makes one of us.
