Col. Vardovsky Quotes:

  • Col. Vardovsky: [sitting at the bar and noticing Sinclair coming over] Mmmm! A drink General!

    Sinclair: How much of this did you know, Colonel?

    Col. Vardovsky: What? I have been relieved of my command just like you.

    Sinclair: Oh, God you don't get it do you? They used you, man. They used me too.

    Col. Vardovsky: Used us for what?

    Sinclair: To fail, god damn it! God! Isn't it obvious by now? Look at this you got Yuri Lebanov, three times reprimanded by The Party. Georgi Koshkin: five years disciplinary duty in Siberia.

    Col. Vardovsky: Thousands of innocent lives.

    Sinclair: What?

    Col. Vardovsky: Didn't they tell you?

    Sinclair: No what?

    Col. Vardovsky: Our military commander is flying a plane to the target with full nuclear payload. Your military is doing the same. The fallout will wipe out every village within hundreds of miles of that gorge.

    Sinclair: Well I'm not in the habit of failing. Our men are due to rotate out of here in the morning? You get them on the tar-mac first thing in the morning.

    Col. Vardovsky: Ohh...

    Sinclair: You do it! You fill them in you tell them the story. Do it!

    [slams a shot glass on the bar like a gavel]

  • Sinclair: [walking up to Vardovsky on the tar-mac on the morning of flying back home] Did you tell them?

    Col. Vardovsky: Everything.

    Sinclair: Well now you know.

    Graves: Yes, sir.

    Sinclair: That suits me just fine. I'm sick and tired of workin with a bunch of Commies anyway.

    [Downs starts lauging and Chappy joins in]

    Sinclair: Hey, here's your chance.

    [holds up an Uzi 9mm]

    Sinclair: Shoot one of them commie bastards.

    [Downs and Chappy laughs as Chappy gives him an Uzi]

    Sinclair: Shoot one of them! Ohhh I get it you don't want to shoot an unarmed man! Koshkin come here.

    [gives Koshkin an Uzi, Koshkin shoots down at the ground]

    Sinclair: What's the matter! Don't any of you have the guts to shoot the enemy? Hey Cooper, Lebanov come here.

    [holds both Uzis for them to take]

    Sinclair: Here you go. Come on! Well, come on!

    [neither takes a step towards Chappy for a gun]

    Sinclair: That's what I thought. Nobody has the guts! You're losers that's what they said. They sent you guys here because they knew you were gonna fail, and you know what they picked right! But I'm grateful to you, you know I'm very grateful because you taught me something today you taught me something about courage. It took a lot of courage to come over here with a bunch of people from the other side when deep down you hated what they stood for! You know I'm really grateful it took a lot of courage to hold on to that prejudice when we fought so hard to cut it out of you! Very grateful, people. But as you fly out of here today I want you to ask yourselves one thing. Where was that courage when you had the chance to stop them from killing thousands of people who had no reason to die? Ah! Well you're transports will leave here in an hour, and you'll go home a bunch of failures and a bunch of losers!

    [walks away from the bunch]

    Cooper: [turns to face Chappy with Zuyenko] General!

    [tears the flag patch off of his flight suit and Zuyenko does as well as the rest of them]

    Sinclair: All right we have less than 24 hours to prepare. We have to beat a couple bombers to the target.

    [rips the flag patch off his uniform]

    Sinclair: [they all look down at the ground where the U.S. and Russian flag patches lay]
