Bitter Victory1957

Major Brand:
War is not murder.

Capt. Leith:
[chuckling condescendingly] Brand, you're wonderful! You have the Christian decency that forbids killing a dying man but ignores the work of a sharpshooter.

Major Brand:
[defensively] Well, war is killing.

Capt. Leith:
[laughing] Better and better. So, the fine line between war and murder is distane... Anybody can kill at a distance with the same sort of courage that a man shoots rabbits, but when it cokes to the dirty work. you have to call on a civilian.

Major Brand:
What is it that you're trying to say?

Capt. Leith:
That I despise you for the professional coward that you are!
