• Troy : Fuck politics. We're here. All the rest is bullshit.

  All Marines : Yeah.

• Troy : I love it out here, this is what I want - 'cause I count for something. Back home, I'd be working some nowhere job, nobody'd even know I was alive. 'We burn the fat off our souls,'... Hemingway said that.

• [repeated line] 

  Troy : Welcome to The Suck.

• Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford : You poor bastard. I bet your recruiter promised you a whole wide world of pussy, huh?

  Kruger : Fuckin' eh. Cocksucker knew the price of every whore from Olangapo to Stockholm.

  Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford : And here we are, headed to the desert - no pussy in a thousand miles.

  Kruger : Fucked by the green weenie again!

  Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford : Well, what would you be doing if you were a civilian? Staying up late, jacking off, playing Metroid - trying to get to that ninth level?

  Troy : You know what happens when you get there?

  [laughs] 

  Troy : Nothing. You just start all over again.

• Troy : We're the leopards... the lions. Those who will take our place will be jackals... hyenas - and all us leopards, lions, jackals, and sheep will go on thinking ourselves the salt of the earth.

• Fowler : [referring to his weapon]  You guys should see what the 40 does to the head of a fucking camel!

  Troy : What does the 40 do to the head of a camel, Fowler?

  Fowler : It turns the head inside out in about three fucking knots.

• [in an NBC suit] 

  Troy : [in a Darth Vader voice]  Luke, come over to the Dark Side.

• Kruger : Me? I had a choice either join the marines or go to jail. And you know what the shit of it is?

  Troy : Yeah, if you'd gone to jail...

  Kruger : Don't spoil the joke asshole. If I'd went to jail I'd be getting out today.

• Troy : What's up with the make-up? I thought Texans were tough.

  Kruger : I burn easily so fucking sue me.

• Troy : [to Anthony Swofford]  We're going to fuckin' war.
