"These men have been through the toughest training the army has to offer. They volunteered for it."

"Christ Winters, I was just shooting craps with them. It's not like I-"

"Do you know why they volunteered? So when things got really bad the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best, not some draftee who's gonna get 'em killed."

"Are you ticked because they like me? Because I'm spending time to get to know my soldiers? I mean come on, you've been with these guys for two years? I've been with them for six days."

"You're gambling Buck."

"So what, soldiers do that. I don't deserve a reprimand for it."

"What if you'd won?"

"What?"

"What. If. You'd. Won? Never put yourself in a position where you can take from these men."
