• David Jones : Where were you stationed, Captain, before you were picked up in transit?

  Capt. Leslie Anders : Asia

  David Jones : Ah, then you haven't been on the ice before either.

  Capt. Leslie Anders : No, Sir. A bullet goes just as fast up here as it does down there.

  David Jones : Not quite. An insignificant difference, perhaps, but I think you'll find the operational characteristics of the M-16 indicate that a bullet will decelerate as much as 40 feet per second per second faster in these climate conditions. It's denser air, you know.

• Boris Vaslov : Tell me, Captain, if you had to compose your own epitaph - what would it be?

  Capt. Leslie Anders : Knock it off.

  Boris Vaslov : Why, that's good. That's very good!

• Capt. Leslie Anders : You will inform the men that there will be a short view inspection at 0700 hours.

  1st Lt. Russell Walker : Yes, sir.

  Capt. Leslie Anders : And, Lieutenant, it will be a bitch!

• Capt. Leslie Anders : [to Captain Ferraday, after speaking harshly to Lt . Walker]  You think I was too hard on him ? I judge the weakness of an officer, by the number of his men who like him personally.
