Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. tirk? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives.
I'm tigER, he's tigA. It makes a big difference. Like telling a black man, "You ma niggA" or "You ma niggER." Try it if you don't blee me. I posted it where I meant to though. Shooter was Santiago.
