Quote 8 of 19

From the movie Full Metal Jacket, directed by Stanley Kubrick

HARTMAN: Pray!

RECRUITS: (in unison) This is my rifle. There are many like it, but
    this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I
    must master it, as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is
    useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle
    true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to
    kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before
    God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are defenders of my
    country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviours of
    my life. So be it ... until there is no enemy ... but peace.
    Amen.
