Hamburger Hill (1987)

J.D. Van Sickle: Newsman

Quotes 

• Newsman : [trying to interview GIs returning to base after a hard day of fighting]  Hey, word down at division is you guys can't take this hill. What do you have to say about that? In fact Senator Kennedy insists you guys haven't got a chance at all.

  Sgt. Frantz : [glares at Newsman for a few seconds]  You really like this shit, don't you? It's your job, a story, wait here like a fucking vulture for someone to die so you can take a picture.

  Newsman : [becoming angry]  It's my job...

  Sgt. Frantz : I got more respect for those little bastards up on the hill. They take a side, you just take pictures. You probably don't even do your own fucking!

  Newsman : What?

  Sgt. Frantz : You listen to me. We're gonna take this fucking hill, Newsman. And if I catch you on top taking pictures of any of my people, I will blow your fucking head off. You haven't earned a right to be here. *You got that?*
