Quotes 

• Lance Cpl. Harold James Trombley : Hey Pers, didn't your mom put your picture up on the Wal-mart Wall Of Heroes?

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Yep. My grandma did when I went to Afghanistan. I'm on the Nevada, Missouri Wal-mart Wall Of Heroes. I even got my dress blues on.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : If my mother ever distributed my likeness without written authorization, I would disown her.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Technically speaking, Brad, but... didn't your biological parents disown you when they put you up for adoption?

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Point, Ray. I was one of those unfortunates adopted by upper middle-class professionals and nurtured in an environment of learning, art and a socio-religious culture steeped in more than 2000 years of Talmudic tradition. Not everyone is lucky enough to have been raised in a whiskey tango trailer park by a bow-legged female whose sole qualification for motherhood is a womb that happened to catch a sperm of a passing truck driver.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : At least my mom took me to NASCAR!

  Lance Cpl. Harold James Trombley : ...Your dad's a truck driver?

• Sgt. Larry Shawn 'Pappy' Patrick : Can you imagine what the doctors would make of Ray Person?

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Need I remind you he is the best damn R.T.O. in the business? As long as you keep him away from your uglier daughters and your smaller livestock.

• Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Brad get up.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : 56 minutes. I've been asleep for 56 minutes.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Team leader meeting.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : 56 minutes and just one dream.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : At least you got to dream.

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : I dreamt I was in Iraq.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Were you naked?

• Evan 'Scribe' Wright : Sergeant Colbert, I was thinking. Those trees behind us, what if the guys who fired at us were in them?

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Much as I appreciate Rolling Stone's tactical input, I'm confident in the birds.

  Evan 'Scribe' Wright : Birds?

  Cpl. Gabe Garza : Anything moves in those trees, the birds don't sing.

• Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : If my mother ever distributed my likeness without written authorization I would disown her.

  Cpl. Josh Ray Person : Technically speaking Brad, but didn't your biological parents disown you when they put you up for adoption?

  Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert : Point Ray, I was one of those unfortunates adopted by upper middle class professionals, nurtured in an environment of Learning, Art and a socioreligious culture steeped in two thousand years of Talmudic tradition, not everyone is lucky enough have been raised in Whiskey Tango trailer park, by a bull legged female who's sole qualification for motherhood is a womb that happened to catch sperm from a passing truck driver.
