The Pentagon Wars (1998 TV Movie)

J.C. MacKenzie: Jones

Quotes 

• [after redesigning the Bradley to carry a gun turret] 

  Col. Robert Laurel Smith : That's one hell of a cannon.

  Jones : That's the problem.

  Col. Robert Laurel Smith : What is?

  Jones : You go out on the battlefield with this pecker sticking out of your turret, and the enemy's going to unload on you with everything they got. Might as well put a big red bullseye on the side.

  Col. Robert Laurel Smith : But it's a troop carrier, not a tank.

  Jones : Do you want me to put a sign on it in fifty languages, "I am a troop carrier, not a tank, please don't shoot at me"?

• [the generals want to add a rapid-fire cannon to the Bradley] 

  Jones : Where am I supposed to put the extra ammo?

  Col. Robert Laurel Smith : I don't know.

  Jones : You've already got 30,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition, now he wants to add 30-millimeter shells?

  Col. Robert Laurel Smith : The general wants his ammo.

  Jones : He can't have his ammo, not unless he runs alongside this thing carrying it.
