Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whos gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiagos death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You dont want the truth. Because deep down, in places you dont talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use em as a punchline. 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 I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! Id 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 dont give a damn what you think youre entitled to!
