Generation Kill

Sgt. Larry Shawn “Pappy” Patrick:
Sir, has any thought been given to destroying the weapons and ordnance that are sittin’ over there?

1stLt. Nathaniel “Nate” Fick:
Actually, that did come up. But it seems the Battalion’s supply of C4 is now unaccounted for. The battalion supply truck we left last night, it is a smoldering heap of twisted metal and failed hopes in the trustworthiness of the Iraqis we are striving so hard to liberate.

Cpl. Nathan Christopher:
Well, what does that mean, sir?

1stLt. Nathaniel “Nate” Fick:
It means we’re on one meal a day.
