Mr Joe,
"Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me there.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to."
regards,
Whisper

Damn! Thank you most sincerely...I've wanted that for a while. Very kind of you.
Exxcellent. (I wish I'd had it memorized at some of the parties I went to in Washington DC as I rejoined my liberal friends.)

No worries, Mr Joe - now you can memorise that as well as this speech from Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
Should go down a treat at any future parties!

Good stuff! This one isn't a line from a movie so it's not quite as cool in that way but it does have a sentiment that I appreciate and which defines pretty well why I signed up;
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." JS Mills
I hasten to add that I don't feel that a soldier is inherently a better man than one who has not served; there are many ways in which to contribute without ever serving in uniform.
Okay, no more of that BS! Sorry for the thread-jacking everyone...

Wow Whisper! I always knew there was some hope in you despite what many here think. I always told them they were wrong. I am glad you didn't let me down. I knew I could count on you (even with the Michael Jackson avatar) ;)
There is more on the exchange between Jessop and Weinberg. The way the whole thing goes at the end is great.

Well, I admit that I'm pretty impressed too, but a clever Australian? That's going too far! Next you'll be saying that all Americans aren't fat and ignorant warmongers!
Come on guys -- we have to be careful or peace will break out on this board!

True, very true. We get so used to each other (those that post a lot) that at the end... we end up liking each other -no matter what an asshole some people are. Kind of like the Stocholm syndrome. See? I am almost even close to start liking that pompous MrJoe.
And the flip side of this, is that we end up venting only with newbies. And this is unfair. Why make peace with the resident jerks and not be kind to newbies?
SCREW YOU MRJOE!! NO PEACE FOR YOU  555
BTW, I have also seen the stickers from TPE. Good ones!

Excuse me but shouldn't it be that "pompous, pedantic, holier than thou and boring as f**k Father Joe"?
[check out the irony of that Smegma guy talking about "resident jerks" and what assholes some people are! He should talk...]
