Sigger's Law
- Sigger's Law: "As any discussion on terrorism grows longer, the probability of attributing terrorists with nuclear weapons (or similar destructive capabilities) approaches 1." Corollary to Sigger's Law: "Once such an observation is made, the discussion is finished and whoever mentioned terrorist possession of nuclear weapons has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."

Still pisses me off that the idiotic movie gives the USMC credit for perhaps one of the classic "well, fuck ME!" moments in modern warfare: the GI under fire gets on his cell, calls his wife, who calls the SDO at 82nd Division HQ, who calls the FDC on Grenada, who plots the mission and calls it down to the gun line, which fires it.
Gunny Highway, my ass.

You know the story, don't you? The Army was offered first choice, and they passed, didn't like the script. So the producers went to the Marine Corps, who said "yes please!"
Improvise, adapt, overcome...

The last thing this movie was about is a historically accurate representation of the Grenada invasion. Go watch Platoon or better yet Casualties of War for that kind of flick (yeah right). Hands down best quote: I'll make life takers and heart breakers out of them
