      • R. Lee Ermey: A lot of civilians have been stocking up on gas masks like this (points to the one he is wearing) from surplus and survivalist stores. (he takes off the gas mask) But masks like these are a far cry from the kinds we've just shown you. These are overpriced, most of them leak or their filters are shot, and they don't protect against bio hazards. This thing here would do about as much good hanging in the closet as it will on your face.

      • R. Lee Ermey: (talking about the training that the U.S. soldier must go through with a gas mask, including having to take it off in a room full of tear gas to teach him how important it is to wear it and don it quickly if needed) With their masks on, these soldiers can stand tall and operate efficiently. (shows scene inside room of tear gas and soldiers without their gas masks) Without them, they are a Drill Sergeant's worst nightmare, a vomiting, sniveling mess.
