As you know, one of my signature lines is from the movie Siege of Firebase Gloria, in which a tough Recon Sergeant Major, played by R. Lee Ermy with a company or so successfully defends Gloria against a VC Regiment during Tet '68.
On the movie thread, somebody said Unforgiven had some of the most quotable lines of any movie. While I do not dispute this, Firebase Gloria must be a close second.
IMO, If Sgt Maj Haffner had been at the battle of the Little Big Horn, Custer probably would have won!
Anybody remember any of his lines?

Be mentally deliberate but muscularly fast. Aim for just above the belt buckle Wyatt Earp
45 ACP: Give 'em a new navel! BigG

We don't have a chaplain here, but I don't view that as any major problem... You can rest assured
that you will not go in that bag until I've said a few appropriate words over you
R. Lee Ermy as Sgt Major Haffner, from The Siege of Firebase Gloria
If you have to shoot a man, shoot him in the guts. It may not kill him... sometimes they die slow, but it'll paralyze his brain and arm and the fight is all but over Wild Bill Hickok
