Quotes

Capt. Lee Whitlock: The time may come, Lieutenant, when the North and the South are at each other's throat. But as of right now, there's no war being fought. We are all still in the same army.
Lt. Jed Sayre: I'm glad you feel that way, sir.
Capt. Lee Whitlock: That's the way I expect every officer and man in this post to feel. And if they don't feel it, they can act it.
