"Corporal, who told you to toss that live round over the side? Don't you realize that this is a waste of government property and you could be charged under a violation of section 118 of the articles of war?"
"Yes sir, I felt I had three options: knowing that a round which falls on the deck is considered to be a hot round and therefore unsafe; I could have left it to roll around the deck and detonate in its own time, or I could retreive it and place it in the hopper to be fired off, thus risking the lives of the three guncrew if it detonated while still in the hopper; or I could elect to throw it overboard."
"I determined that the risk wasn't warranted and so I tossed it."
"It was a command decision sir." (underbreath "stupid asshole")

Get the command decision mug.The ever so annoying and pointless feature on an LG phone that is almost destined to go off anywhere there is a group of people (during class, gatherings). Apparently it is telling you to speak a person's name so you can call them without pressing any buttons, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone use this feature.

The first Star Wars game where your main character is not one of the all powerful Jedi Knights. Your main strategy in this game is stay hidden for as long as you can, then when the time is right jump out and take down anything that moves with 300 shots of sky blue plasma. Then when you run out of ammo throw grenades, then take out your pistol and bash in a battle droids durasteel skull. Not to mention this game features Clones with a sense of humor.
Sev: "Ah... more bugs, more kills."
Scorch: "That was for Delta 23! Or, or…was that 32?"

Boss: "You lizards need to learn I'm a lot scarier than you are."
