      • R. Lee Ermey: During the Vietnam War, there was an awful lot of action along the Ho Chi Min Trail. And Lionel, who lives in Gautier, MS, wants to know how the hell the VC moved so much gear along such a crappy dirt path? Well, Lionel, you obviously weren't there so let me enlighten you. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: (talking about the Marine Sniper Training Course) From this point on, it's basically a down and dirty game of hide and seek with an eighteen pound M40A3 Sniper Rifle. If an observer sees you before you can get off your first shot, you're done. You get to sit in the truck while the big boys finish the game. Edit
