Quotes 

• Capt. Nelson Holderman - Co. K, 307th : Captain McMurtry was telling me you used to be a lawyer before the war.

  Maj. Whittlesey : Yes, I was. I, uh, dealt with contracts and regulations.

  Capt. Nelson Holderman - Co. K, 307th : You know, Major, uh... people like me and McMurtry, we're professional soldiers. You know, if we weren't here, we'd be someplace else. But you could be in legal affairs, Sir, on the General's staff.

  Maj. Whittlesey : I don't think I'd enjoy working with General Alexander.

  Capt. Nelson Holderman - Co. K, 307th : You don't think we should be here, do you?

  Maj. Whittlesey : No.

  Capt. Nelson Holderman - Co. K, 307th : Well, given that's the way that you feel, why are you here?

  Maj. Whittlesey : Huh. Life would be a lot simpler if we could choose our duties and obligations. But we can't. We shouldn't. That's why I'm here.
