• PFC Robert Leckie : [reading a letter from home]  "P.S., your mother would like to know if you want us to send you your dress blue uniform."

  PFC Robert Leckie : Must think we get a lot of fancy dress balls around here.

  PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley : Hey, if we have one, can I be your date?

  PFC Robert Leckie : *You* are ugly. I want Hoosier.

• PFC Robert Leckie : Wanna know why we're here?

  PFC Lew 'Chuckler' Juergens : Mm-hmm.

  PFC Robert Leckie : [thinking for a while]  Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws. And asks no omen but his country's cause.

• PFC Robert Leckie : [Writing a letter to Vera Keller]  Dear Vera, it seems a lifetime since we met outside Saint Mary's. This great undertaking for God and country has landed us in a tropical paradise, somewhere in what Jack London refers to as "those terrible Solomons." It is a garden of Eden. The jungle holds both beauty and terror in its depths, most terrible of which is man. We have met the enemy and have learned nothing more about him. I have, however, learned some things about myself. There are things men can do to one another that are sobering to the soul. It is one thing to reconcile these things with God, but another to square it with yourself.
