Private Jackson: Sir... I have an opinion on this matter. Captain Miller: Well, by all means, share it with the squad. Private Jackson: Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources. Captain Miller: Yeah. Go on. Private Jackson: Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare. Captain Miller: Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson. Private Jackson: Well, what I mean by that, sir, is... if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, wars over. Amen. Private Reiben: Oh, thats brilliant, bumpkin. Hey, so, Captain, what about you? I mean, you dont gripe at all? Captain Miller: I dont gripe to *you*, Reiben. Im a captain. Theres a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on, and so on. I dont gripe to you. I dont gripe in front of you. You should know that as a Ranger. Private Reiben: Im sorry, sir, but uh... lets say you werent a captain, or maybe I was a major. What would you say then? Captain Miller: Well, in that case... Id say, This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover... I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan and am willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men - especially you, Reiben - to ease her suffering. Mellish: [chuckles] Hes good. Private Caparzo: I love him. [they make mocking kissy-faces at each other] https://youtube/watch?v=FF6C8MYdzQk
