"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think"

That first came out years ago as a poster with two buzzards sitting on a tree branch and one saying that to the other. I don't know if you're old enough to remember posters, but they were large pieces of paper that one hung up on walls. The old world memes.;-)

Old Horse Cavalryman, or any of CavDad's Troopers having done a JRTC rotation at Ft. Polk, know first hand what George C. Scott was recreating in the 1970 movie Patton, based on the GEN's own address to 3rd Army’s 6th Armored Division on May 31, 1944

[addressing his troops]
Maximus: Fratres!
[cavalry addresses Maximus]
Maximus: Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!
[cavalry laughs]
Maximus: Brothers, what we do in life echoes in eternity.
Movie: Gladiator- Maximus addressing his troops before the battle..

So many great lines from "Full Metal Jacket" but I'll start with this one for now:
"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reacharound. I'll be watching you."--Gunny Hartman (R. Lee Ermey) to Private Cowboy (Arliss Howard)

"Know this. You can cut me off from the civilized world. You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates. You can torture me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer."

[imitating Walter Cronkite]
Adrian Cronauer: I just want to begin by saying to Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, what it is, what it shall be, what it was. The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.
