Jeff: "Give an example of a good war." "Saving Matt Damon". Dad, listen to this bogus question on the naval academy application..."Would you fight in Kosovo?" and there's this little check box...and then it says, "If you did not check box above, do not submit application." What's up with that? Rick: Well, in effect, they're asking you if you'd obey orders. Professional soldiers aren't allowed to choose their wars. Jeff: What? Well, that sucks! No way I'd ever sign up for the Balkans! Rick: You had some other war in mind? Jeff: I want to fight Germans, man! It's my dream! Rick: Maybe you could join a soccer team.
