Originally, Col. Winter (James Gandolfini) was supposed to smoke cigars. Gandolfini pleaded with director Rod Lurie to drop the idea because he felt smoking cigars would remind audiences too much of Tony Soprano, his star-making role in The Sopranos (1999).

Quotes

Irwin: I guess that rules out the hand-job.

Share this

Irwin: We can no long wear the uniform of the soldier. We forfeited that right and that includes me. I disobeyed an executive order, I violated my duty as a commanding officer. And eight men paid a catastrophic price. It's a mistake not easy to live with. So here I am just like you, a convicted criminal. Only difference between you and me is, I know I'm guilty.

Share this

Winter: See, I too share the burden of command. You may not think that I've ever set foot on a battlefield, but that's because you've never sat behind this desk. This desk! My men and I are vastly outnumbered. We spend every day behind enemy lines because, make no mistake about it, Mr. Irwin, they are the enemy! But then, I don't have to justify myself to YOU, do I, Mr. Irwin?
