Jack Thompson: Congressman Breimer

Quotes 

• Congressman Breimer : Nothing wrong with the Germans. Plenty of good German folk back in Schenectady.

• Congressman Breimer : No sense beating up on the Germans anymore. The Russians are the enemy now. They're godless people. Go down to the rail yard and see for yourself. Anything's not nailed down, they're taking it, sending it to Moscow.

• Congressman Breimer : I bet you can't wait to go home, huh, soldier?

  Patrick Tully : Oh, yes, sir. You know the Germans. They make excellent danish, but they can't bake apple pie like my mom.

• Congressman Breimer : Now, listen, I'm the first to recognize there were excesses in the Nazi leadership. But if we besmirch an entire people because of a few bad apples - we're no better than Hitler. Then it's not about war crimes at all. It's about revenge.

• Congressman Breimer : You've seen what months of bombing can do to a city. Imagine one bomb could do the same thing. One bomb. Stick it on the end of a rocket, press a button here, goes off over there. Anywhere, halfway around the world. That's the future. The future of mankind's in our hands. It's our destiny.

• Congressman Breimer : Forgetting's a two-way street. There are things you wanna forget and things we wanna forget.
