Army Training, Sir!

Has there ever been a quote that so precisely sums up the all-volunteer American Army? Here's this week's brilliant quote, from:

Stripes.

Written by Len Blum & Daniel Goldberg
and Harold Ramis.

And I suspect Bill Murray had a little input on this one, too.

So we're all dog faces, 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. We're mutants, there's something wrong with us, there's something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us. We're soldiers, American soldiers!
- John Winger
(Bill Murray)
