BioWell, yes I am of Scottish heritage and no I have not ever been to Scotland, but yet I have been known to kill all who oppose Scotland...hmmm, fancy that...and the Irish are cool too, and who's seen Braveheart obviously realizes how awesome the Irish are and must bow to them in respect as I do now. *bows* Well, I think that's really all I have to say other than LIVE! From New York! It's Saturday Night!!
...no? Okay. But mark my words one of these days you'll need me to say that...oh, that reminds me I just memorized the famous speech that Jack Nicholson's character says in A Few Good Men...wanna hear it? You do?! Well, too bad, but you can read it instead!
Because you can't handle it, son. You can't handle the truth. You can't handle the sad but historic reality. We live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You?...You Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines. You have that luxury. The luxury of the blind. The luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existance, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You can't handle it. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about, you want me on that wall. You need me there. We use words like honour, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way. I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Now keep in mind that that's from the play and not the movie, though the movie is similar with the speech, there are some differences, oh but here I go getting technical, thanks for sustaining yourself through this, and hopefully talk to you later, unless I don't like you, in which case I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
