Bull Meechum: You're probably wondering why I attacked you right?
Cpl. Atcherly: Yes, sir
Bull Meechum: What's your name Corporal?
Cpl. Atcherly: Atchley, sir.
Bull Meechum: Atchley do you realize that several Marines were killed by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor while taking craps?
Cpl. Atcherly: No, sir.
Bull Meechum: A fighting man must be vigilant to surprise attack no matter where he is. The survival of our nation depends on the readiness of Marines all over the world. Also more importantly, you only wiped yourself twice - grossly insufficient. Right now, germs with names you can't even pronounce are preparing to launch a devastating attack that will render you helpless in the defense of your country... Do you read me?
Cpl. Atcherly: Yes, sir!
Bull Meechum: Good... now I'm Jones, Colonel John J. Jones I'm only here for the day. I fly around the country testing the readiness of troops for combat. This is a strictly confidential test, classified top secret, tell no one Atchley... and if you ever attack a senior officer again I'll have you court-martial'd
Cpl. Atcherly: But you attacked me, sir
Bull Meechum: DISMISSED! Good luck in your career. Be proud Atchley, be proud of yourself and of the Corps... now get out!
Bull Meechum: Looking in a mirror: You silver tongue bastard, shame on you
