Quote
Colonel Dax:
Tell me, Colonel, how did your relief come off last night?
Colonel Dax:
We drew some artillery. Twenty-nine casualties, sir.
General Mireau:
Yes, I noticed it on the road in. Utterly inexcusable. Stupid. All swarmed together like flies, just waiting for someone to swat them.
Saint-Auban:
Well, they never learn, it seems. They get in a tight spot under heavy fire - gang up every time. Herd instinct, I suppose. Kind of a lower animal sort of thing.
Colonel Dax:
Kind of a human thing, it seems to me.
