We don't have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. Something seriously wrong with us! We're soldiers, but we're American soldiers! We've been kickin' ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we practiced. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. Who saw Old Yeller? Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you?! Stupid! We're all very different people. And maybe someday you'll understand what the hell I'm talking about. And I want you to think real hard about it. I'm willing to forget this little incident. I don't think I want to go to the stockade. Well, go ahead and give it your best shot. I 'd like to take a big swing at you, sarge. Look, if you don't want me in your Army, kick me out, but get off my back. Those words mean so much to a man who scrubs garbage cans. I'm talking about something important, like discipline and duty and honor and courage.
