What do you want? Where's the goddamn ice I ordered? Where's the booze? There's a war on, man! People are being killed!

About This Quote

This quote from the movie, "The Sum of All Fears," captures one man's frustration with his life. He must get his orders from a superior officer, but he is frustrated by the delay in getting them. The problem with war, of course, is that a soldier might die while waiting for a drink or a shot of whiskey. To someone who has never experienced war, this quote can be a bit shocking. But for those who have been around the block a few times, it is reminiscent of everyday life in combat.
