Quote context

[...]

- We've been told about these wonder weapons the Germans were working on. Long-range rockets, push-button bombing, weapons that don't need soldiers.

- Wonder weapons? My God, I don't see the wonder in 'em. Killing without heroics. Nothing is glorified. Nothing is reaffirmed. No heroes, no cowards, no troops. No generals. Only those who are left alive and those who are left dead.

- I'm glad I won't live to see it.

- It's been pointed out, General, that you're still using former Nazis in key positions despite the official de-Nazification policy.

- Well, if I'm supplied with trained personnel, I'll get rid of the Nazis.

- Until then, I'll use the people who can run the railroads and keep the telephones working.

- After all, General, didn't most ordinary Nazis join the party in about the same way Americans become Republicans or Democrats?

- Yes, that's about it.

- You do agree, don't you, General, that our national policy should be made by civilians and not by the military?

- Of course I agree.

- But the politicians never let us finish. They always stop short and leave us with another war to fight.

Top rated lines from this movie

A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning that all glory is fleeting.

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

All my life I've wanted to lead a lot of men in a desperate battle. Now I'm going to do it.

They don't look like soldiers. They don't act like soldiers. Why should they be expected to fight like soldiers?

You leave it to me. In 10 days, I'll have us at war with those sons of bitches and I'll make it look like their fault!
