If we don’t find him, it won’t be the war to end all wars. It’ll be the war to end everything.
I’ve seen it before. I know how it ends. And even if you don’t die, you’re gonna come back, you’re not gonna be the same. It’s all bulls***. It’s a f***ing lie. Medals, flags, anthems. Pledges of allegiance. Freedom. I look around me, I don’t see freedom. I don’t see order. I just see chaos. I don’t see anything worth giving my son’s life for.[to Thomas]
I came to set the record straight. You were right about one thing, Dragon. There was a battle raging inside Regina. And she may have won the fight, but this is a war. And it’s just begun. The Queen is back.
Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain’t no going back. I mean, s***, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.
“I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said: ‘Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?’ Grandpa said, “No. But I served in a company of heroes.”[quoting from a letter Mike Ranney wrote to him]
You think this is the underworld? Don’t be ridiculous. The underworld is a much better place. Take a good look. This is the real world, as we know it. This is a dump for the scum of the earth. It’s the final destination for warriors. It’s the ultimate state of warfare. There are no winners or losers, nor is there an end.[to Thorfinn]
What do you want me to do, General? Declare war? Why not? 40 minutes ago, they showed me the nuclear football. I guess I’ve had it long enough to try it out.
We’re at war. And in war, people die.
We gave peace a chance. Now it’s time for war.
War’s not living. If insanity was a thing you could touch, that’s what war is. A letter is a window out of that hell for a minute. But it’s a double-edged sword. Missing home and dreaming has killed more soldiers. You want to eat a bullet in battle, you start wishing for a letter.[to Alexandra]
War pushes us to the edge. Some of us don’t like what we find there.
War never changes. You look out at this Wasteland, looks like chaos. But there’s always somebody behind the wheel.
