Kenny O'Donnell:
The president has instructed me to pass along an order to you. You are not to get shot down.
Commander William B. Ecker:
Uh, we'll do our best, sir.
O'Donnell:
I don't think you understand me, Commander. You are not to get shot down under any circumstances. Whatever happens up there, you were not shot at. Mechanical failures are fine, crashing into mountains fine. But you and your men are not to be shot at, fired at, or launched upon.
Ecker:
Excuse me sir, what the hell is going on here?
O'Donnell:
Commander, if you are fired upon, the President will be forced to attack the sites that fire on you. He doesn't want to have to do that. It's very important that he doesn't, or things could get very badly out of control.
