Cpl Walt Hasser quotes from Generation Kill

Cpl Walt Hasser

Stove underneath Rudy's espresso pot went off like a forty mike-mike.

Flamed white boy's face like a rotisserie chicken.

Let me understand this. My RTO has just been burned, in his tent, by an exploding portable stove; And without my RTO I will be going to war unable to quickly and effectively establish radio communications within our unit, with other elements of the battalion, and with close air support. Is this what is happening?

That and they're probably gonna NJP all our asses for operating a stove in the tent against the regs.

Over an espresso maker. This platoon is going down over an espresso maker.

LCpl Harold James Trombley

Sergeant, I didn't get to shoot!

That fucking sucks, Trombley. Did your recruiting officer tell you you'd get to shoot people?

LCpl Harold James Trombley

Fucking 'A' he did!

See, Trombley asked about shooting people. I asked about pussy. The guy told me I'd get to go to Thailand, get all kinds of strange. What'd you ask about, Brad? Brad probably saw that T.V. commercial, the one with the knight that fucks up the dragon then turns into the Marine.

Cpl Walt Hasser

Woo woo! Dress blues with a sword!

Fucking dress blues commercial man. That got so many fucking guys. Now look at us: Trombley hasn't killed anybody, I'm half a world away from good Thai pussy, and Colbert is out here rolling around fuckbutt Iraq, hunting for dragons in a MOPP suit that smells like four days of piss and ball sweat.

Nice.

You should have rolled into battle with a sword, Brad. That would've fuckin' rocked.

Cpl. Walt Hasser

Hey, where’s Brad?

Jesus fucking Christ, Walt. Are you serious? My first combat jack!

Cpl. Walt Hasser

Fuck your jack, we’re being overrun by armor!

He’s in his grave.
