Quotes from the Movie Casualties of War
Oh, you wanna take an attack posture wit' me? Yeah, you got a weapon. Clark got a weapon, Clark got a knife! We all got weapons! Anybody can blow anybody away, any second. Which is the way it ought to be. Always.
Sgt. Tony Meserve
This is a weapon, this is a gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun.
Sgt. Tony Meserve
Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we do. Maybe we gotta' be extra careful because maybe it matters more than we even know.

Oh, you wanna take an attack posture wit' me? Yeah, you got a weapon. Clark got a weapon, Clark got a knife! We all got weapons! Anybody can blow anybody away, any second. Which is the way it ought to be. Always.

This goddamn thing's turnin' us on our heads, man! I mean, Just because any of us at any second might be blown away, everybody's acting like we can do anything, man! And it don't matter what we do! But I'm thinkin' maybe it's the other way around. You know, maybe the main thing is just the opposite. Because we might be dead in the next split second, we gotta be extra careful what we do. Jesus, man, maybe it matters more than we even know.
Private Eriksson
Give me a minute on this thing we're doing. I mean, what we're doing. What are we doing, sarge?
Private Eriksson
Maybe if you'd have been there, sir. Maybe if you had heard her screaming, you'd feel-
Private Eriksson
I'd like to get out of this particular company, yes, sir.
Private Eriksson
That's not gonna keep me from trying to bring this thing out, sir.
Private Eriksson
Nobody cares, Meserve. Oh, I told everybody! I told them. You don't have to worry. You don't have to try to kill me, man. I told them, and THEY DON'T CARE!
Private Eriksson
