Quote context

[...]

- Colonel, I've seen and heard everything. So has every man in the hospital. There are too many witnesses. You'll never get away with calling it a mass escape. Most of those men can't walk.

- Is this your soldier's code? Murdering unarmed men?

- You see, Jennings, there are certain advantages to being on the sick list.

- I'll say this for the old man. He's got guts.

- Into the valley of death Rode the 600.

- How's that, sir?

- That kind of guts. Also the kind they had in 1914 when your officers went over the top with nothing but a swagger stick.

- Yes, sir, I see what you mean.

- You don't see what I mean at all.

- The kind of guts that can get us all killed.

- Excuse me, sir, I'd like to go along too. Arm's almost healed, sir, really, it is.

- What about him?

- He didn't actually order us not to escape, he only suggested.

- Listen, kiddo, when a man like your colonel suggests something, it's an order.

- Here we go again.
