It comes down to this: we're pieces of equipment To be counted and signed for. On occasion some of us break down, And those parts which can't be salvaged Are replaced with other GI parts, that's all.

About This Quote

This quote says that all of us are pieces of equipment. We are machines to be used for a particular purpose. We have our own life and identity, but most of us have been manufactured to serve a certain role in life. This quote is a metaphor for the fact that we belong to the army and we have to follow orders even if they go against our personal desires.

When we fight against a system that requires us to do something that is against our nature, we need to know that there are people who have all the power and can just replace us with new parts if we break down. In this case, it is not about being replaced with a new part but rather about being given a chance just to prove yourself.
