Best Movie Line Ever

Tranformers

We’re still waiting to see the movie here in the UK. The OpFor points to this Air Force report from last year talking about the filming of the movie and how closely involved the Air Force was. Enjoy:

Quote for the Day

From the moment a soldier enlists, we inculcate loyalty, duty, honor, integrity, and selfless service. And yet when we get to the senior-officer level we forget those values. I know that my peers in the Army will be mad at me for speaking out, but the fact is that we violated the laws of land warfare in Abu Ghraib. We violated the tenets of the Geneva Convention. We violated our own principles and we violated the core of our military values. The stress of combat is not an excuse, and I believe, even today, that those civilian and military leaders responsible should be held accountable,”

- General Antonio Taguba, tasked by the military to investigate Abu Ghraib without looking up the chain of command and subsequently fired anyway.

Quote of the Day

“To hear some of my colleagues say that we should dispense with this frivolous debate because the president has threatened to veto, what a waste of our time — well, if you logically follow that through, Mr. President, why do we need a Congress? . . . Mr. President, we tried a monarchy once. It’s not suited to America,” - Senator Chuck Hagel, Wednesday.
