- Quotes
Gen. Wendell Bruce: You insist? You insist? Are you trying to give me an order? Who the h__l do you think you're talking to? "You insist"!
Gen. Hempstead: May I remind you, sir: Davis is an Army man. You've taken him into custody, arrested him for reasons unknown to us. I demand to know...
Gen. Wendell Bruce: YOU DEMAND? Let me remind you, General: the Internal Security Forces SUPERSEDE the Army! AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT! I'll arrange your resignation so fast you won't know what hit you. "You demand".
Gen. Hempstead: My apology for what might have been an unfortunate choice of phrase, sir.
Gen. Wendell Bruce: That's better.
Gen. Hempstead: Nevertheless I *request* some explanation!
Now the conspiracy theorists say that our current President is ready to have events occur which will bring this movie to a realization.
I have always been surprised that this movie has never come out on tape or DVD as a warning that it COULD happen here.
The movie is flawed in many ways, but having to show id at airports, being screened at airports, on roads, at bus & train stations was unthinkable 40 years ago, yet it has occurred.
Sinclair Lewis was right. We did not learn from his book or take heed the warning of this film.
Politicians once they have power will do anything to keep it, even usurp the Constitution which they have sworn to protect and defend.
