Pentagon Wars1998
Brig. General Robert Laurel Smith:
Are you out of your mind, Colonel? If the Pentagon had their choice of busting us or nailing a Soviet spy, they would choose us in a heartbeat!
Lt. Colonel James Burton:
Who exactly is "us," General?
Brig. General Robert Laurel Smith:
There are some people who work in the Pentagon who are fed up watching billions of dollars thrown away on defective weapons upon which our troops are supposed to stake their lives. People like you, Colonel. We are the enemy!
Lt. Colonel James Burton:
To whom?
Brig. General Robert Laurel Smith:
To majors who want to be colonels, to colonels who want to be generals, to generals who want that fourth star, you bet we are the enemy! Nobody moves up without getting things done! So what you don't want to be is the one who drops the ball, 'cause if you're the one who drops the ball: no promotion! no star! no cushy job with a contract when you retire!
