For Instance:
"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"

Everyone's favorite lovable idiot with a huge heart Forrest Gump:
"Forrest Gump: DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!
Drill Sergeant: GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?
Forrest Gump: [confused] You told me to, Drill Sergeant?"
"Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump."
"Forrest Gump: DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!
Drill Sergeant: GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?
Forrest Gump: [confused] You told me to, Drill Sergeant?"
"Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?

One of the best lines ever. The entire time at Basic Training, I always hoped there'd be a situation like this, but alas, it never happened.

One day, someone will do it, just for the fun of it. Oh I would if I had it back 15 years ago. LOL. No doubt!

"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

Psycho: The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.
Leon: Ooooooh.

Effin' A... Live by it.
I edit that when I talk to my daughter about being careful about what boys she dates:
"Baby, I'd die for you if I need to, but I'm much more likely to kill for you... don't bring home losers that I have to go to jail over."

The Japanese are in the process of taking half of the world.And they mean to keep it .With death from the air,land and sea.But here is what the Japs are not expecting:The United States Marine Corps.
Now never mind Europe,the Nazis,Mussolini,Hitler is not gonna be your job.Not until they can't whip him without us.The Pacific will be our theater of war.The Marines will do battle with the Japs.On tiny specks of turf that we have never heard of.
You noncommissioned officers,you are the sinew and muscle of the Corps.The orders come from the brassand you get it done.And whenever this war is over,when we have swept upon the main islands of Japan,and destroyed every scrap of that empire,the strategy will have been that of others,the victory will have been won by you.You,the NCOs,with the chevrons on your sleeves and the instincts in your guts,and the blood on your boots.
Those of you who are lucky enough to get home for Christmas,hold your loved ones dearly and join them in prayers for peace on earth and goodwill toward all men.And then report back here,ready to sail across God's vast ocean,where we will meet our enemy and kill them all. Merry Christmas,Happy 1942.

Fat Man at Bench: It was a bullet, wasn't it?
Forrest Gump: A bullet?
Fat Man at Bench: That jumped up and bit you.
Forrest Gump: Oh, yes sir. Bit me right in the buttocks. They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money 'cause I still haven't seen a nickel of that million dollars.

A question that seemed humorous when I was a kid watching the movie but is heartbreaking now that I've heard it in real life right before one ended.
"Forrest, why did this happen?"
Most painful question I've ever heard, and the person wasn't around for the answer...not that I had one to give.

Some of my favorite quotes were anything coming out of CSM Basil Plumley's (Sam Elliot) mouth in We Were Soldiers. A few of them:
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I wonder what was going through Custer's mind when he realized that he'd led his men into a slaughter?
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, Custer was a pussy. You ain't
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I think you oughta get yourself an M-16.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, if the time comes I need one, there'll be plenty lying on the ground.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: You can't take any pictures from down there, sonny.
[Galloway gets up and is handed a rifle]
Joseph Galloway: I'm a non-combatant.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Ain't no such thing today.
I also love the great speeches from the Lord of the Rings...especially those of King Théoden.
Let this be the hour when we draw swords together.
Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath. Now for ruin. And the red dawn!

Oh yeah, there are also a bunch from Starship Troopers too:
"These are my rules. Everybody fights, nobody quits. If you don't do your job I'll kill you myself. Welcome to the Roughnecks!"
Ace Levy: Sir, I don't understand. Who needs a knife in a nuke fight anyway? All you gotta do is push a button, sir.
Career Sergeant Zim: Cease fire. Put your hand on that wall trooper. PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT WALL!
[Zim throws a knife and hits Ace's hand pinning it to the wall]
Career Sergeant Zim: The enemy can not push a button... if you disable his hand. Medic!
