Quotes 

• Ned Cunningham : The Rat Patrol has been making me poorer without making itself one cent richer. I want to change that. I want to make you rich.

• Ned Cunningham : Sgt. Troy, give me credit for one thing: I am not simple-minded. Someday this war will be over, and you're going to have to go home. Where will you be then? Kids who were too young for the draft will be holding your jobs. The girls you knew will be married and have families. And I think you'll find there's very little call for middle-aged commandoes. What will you do then, big hero with a chest full of medals? I'll tell you. You'll stand in line at the neighborhood pawn shop waiting to trade those medals in on a three-dollar spree.

• Ned Cunningham : [to Troy and Moffitt]  To coin a phrase, this desert simply isn't big enough for the both of us.

• Sgt. Sam Troy : You know something, Moffitt, maybe there's worse than the Gerrys. What do you think of an American who sells ammo to 'em so they can blast his own countrymen? Simple curiosity, Cunningham. How does someone become your special kind of creep?

  Ned Cunningham : Practice.
