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.
