Dever (miscellaneous crew), Walter Murch (editor),

Plot: Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, a Camus-reading kid from Sacramento, enlists in the Marines in the late 1980s. He malingers during boot camp, but makes it through as a sniper, paired with the usually-reliable Troy. The Gulf War breaks out, and his unit goes to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield. After 175 days of boredom, adrenaline, heat, worry about his girlfriend finding someone else, losing it and nearly killing a mate, demotion, latrine cleaning, faulty gas masks, and desert football, Desert Storm begins. In less than five days, it's over, but not before Swoff sees burned bodies, flaming oil derricks, an oil-drenched horse, and maybe a chance at killing. Where does all the testosterone go?

Quotes:

[repeated line]::Troy: Welcome to The Suck.

Sgt. Siek: [looking at Oil Fires] I could be working with my brother right now. He's got a dry-wall business in Compton. Does the inside of office buildings; you know, the metal studs. I could be his partner, said he'd give me that brand new Dodge Ram Charger. You know, the 318 Magnum? The beast? All indoor work, too, lots of AC. I could sleep with my wife every night, fuck her, maybe; take my kids to school every morning. And I'd run his crews, too, probably increase productivity 40 to 50%. Make $100K a year. Do you know why I don't? Because I love this job. I thank God for every fucking day he gives me in the corps, oorah.

D.I. Fitch: What the fuck are you even doing here?::Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: Sir, I got lost on the way to college, sir.

Reporter: Are you scared?::Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: Look, I'm twenty years old and I was dumb enough to sign a contract. I can hear their fucking bombs already. I can hear their bombs and I'm fucking scared, yeah.

Troy: Fuck politics. We're here. All the rest is bullshit.::All Marines: Yeah.

Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: [voice over narration] Every war is different, every war is the same.

Kruger: [after being offered nuts on an airplane] Are these warm nuts?::Stewardess: No, I believe they're room temperature.::Kruger: [takes the nuts] Well, maybe later you can come and warm up my nuts.::Stewardess: You know, I don't really like the little ones.

Sgt. Siek: Will you shut the fuck up! There is no bugle program! You sizzle-dick motherfucker! Who do you think you are, some kind of Kenny G or some shit?::Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: No, Staff Sergeant.::Sgt. Siek: Good.

Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: [the Doors' "Break on Through" being played on a flying by helicopter] That's Vietnam music... can't we get our own music?

Cortez: I'm the midget, huh? Let's go you squishy-faced retard!::Fowler: [dead serious] Don't you ever call me squishy-face!
