Specialist Owen Eldridge
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: Aren't you glad the Army has all these tanks parked here? Just in case the Russians come and we have to have a big tank battle?
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'd rather be on the side with the tanks, just in case, than not have 'em.
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: Yeah, but they don't do anything. I mean, anyone comes alongside a Humvee, we're dead. Anybody even looks at you funny, we're dead. Pretty much the bottom line is, if you're in Iraq, you're dead. How's a fucking tank supposed to stop that?
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: Would you shut the fuck up, Owen, please?
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: Sorry. Just tryin' to scare the new guy.
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: [as a teammate approaches an unexploded bomb] You know, these detonators misfire all the time.
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: What are you doing?
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: I'm just saying shit happens. They misfire.
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: He'd be obliterated to nothing.
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: His helmet would be left. You could have that. Little specs of hair charred on the inside.
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: Yeah. There'd be half a helmet somewhere, with bits of hair.
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: Have to ask for a change in technique and protocol, and make sure this type of accident never happen again, you know? You'd have to write the report.
- Spc. Owen Eldridge: Are you serious?
- Sergeant JT Sanborn: I can't write it.
