And, best line:
6. THEY WERE EXPENDABLE (1945)-- "I used to skipper a cake of soap in the bathtub, too."
7. MIDWAY (1976)-- "Wait and see. We waited December 7, we saw. The 'wait and see'ers will bust your ass every time."
8. THE CAINE MUTINY (1954)-- "The first thing you've got to learn about this ship is that she was designed by geniuses to be run by idiots."
9. PEARL HARBOR (2001)-- "I've got some genuine French champagne. From France."
10. ACTION IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC (1943)-- The trouble with you, Pulaski, is you think America is just a place to eat and sleep. You don't know what side your future's buttered on."

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
