"Charlie has hit every major military target In Vietnam, and hit 'em
hard. In Saigon, the United States Embassy has been overrun by suicide
squads. Khe Sahn is standing by to be overrun. We also have reports that
a division of N.V.A. has occupied all of the city of Hue south of the
Perfume River. In strategic terms, Charlie's cut the country in half...
the civilian press are about to wet their pants and we've heard even
Cronkite's going to say the war is now unwinnable. In other words, it's
a huge shit sandwich, and we're all gonna have to take a bite."

Lt. Lockhart (John Terry), "Full Metal Jacket"
