Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Movie Quote Quiz

Kim Baker: I'm wondering if you can give me something... On background, just about the security situation here and the state of the war in general.
General Hollanek: Yeah, I can give you something... This war's like fucking a gorilla, you keep on going until the gorilla wants to stop.
Kim Baker: I think I can paraphrase that.
General Hollanek: Knock yourself out.

General Hollanek: Jesus, you have got to be shitting me. You just shot a Javelin... At a fucking car. That's an eighty thousand dollar piece of ordnance. Can any of you geniuses tell me the Kelly Blue Book value of a 1989 Toyota pickup?

Specialist Coughlin: There's only so much any of us have any control of, good or bad. If you didn't learn that in Afghanistan, you were not paying attention.

Factual error: When Kim Baker arrives in Afghanistan, most of the Marines are seen wearing Desert marpat (Marine Pattern), when in reality, that camouflage was not widely adopted until 2004 to 2005. In 2003, it was in the testing phases, Three Color Desert or DCU (sometimes called "Coffee-stained") would've been the primary camouflage pattern for both Marines and Army soldiers.
