      • R. Lee Ermey: A lot of mortars are used to suppress and to kill. But there are also mortar rounds to illuminate enemy positions at night and incendiary rounds used to set fires to conceal troop movement. Basically, they're all just big cans of whoop-a**. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: (answering question about mortars) If you know exactly where you are, and if you can figure out exactly where your objective is, then you can adjust the "angle of the dangle" and the direction of the mortar tube and drop rounds right into the enemy's "hip pocket." So I headed on out to the California desert to the Marine Corp Training Center at 29 Palms to learn how mathematics mixes with mayhem. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: (to viewers) Keep your candy a** in that recliner, it's time for Mail Call! Edit
