“Story of G.I. Joe” quotes

“It's a world the other world will never know. Even the Air Force. Up there, they approach death differently. When they die, they're clean-shaven, well fed, if that's any comfort. But the G.I., well, he lives so miserably and he dies so miserably...”
Burgess Meredith - Ernie Pyle - Scripps-Howard War Correspondent

“Tonight, boy, tonight I dream in Technicolor.”
Wally Cassell - Private Dondaro

“The new kids that come up, that's what gets you. The new ones, some of them have just got a little fuzz on their faces. They don't know what its all about. Scared to death. You know, Ernie, I know it ain't my fault that they get killed, but it makes me feel like a murderer. I hate to look at 'em, the new kids.”
Robert Mitchum - Lt. Walker

“Look, this is a modern war, ain't it? And I'm a modern guy, and the modern age is up in the air, not down here.”
John R. Reilly - Private Murphy

“If this War don't kill me first, my feet will.”
Wally Cassell - Private Dondaro
