If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a
minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth.
You are not even human-fucking-beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn: I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops, or greasers; here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots
understand that? --Sergeant Hartman's speech to recrues
