Since Trump became president I have felt like Private Hudson.

Quotes from Private Hudson.

That's it man, game over man, game over!

We're on an express elevator from hell, goin down!

Oh dear lord, this ain't happening man. This can't be happening man. This isn't happening.

Is he fucking crazy?

I don't believe this, I don't fucking believe this.

Think of what? We're fucked!

Well that's great, that's just fuckin great man. Now what are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now, man.

Hey , maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked.

Oh man, and I was getting short. Four more weeks and out. Now I'm going to buy it on this rock. It ain't fair man.

How do I get out of this chicken shit outfit?

over thirty years ago. I might have seen it back then, I'm not entirely sure. And even if I saw it, I only saw it once, so trust me, I'm not likely to remember any quotes from a movie I saw that long ago. Nor would most people.

Heck, I'll throw my personal favorite movie quote at you and see if you immediately recognize it: "Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire."

And if you don't recognize it, look it up. And if you've never seen that movie, I highly recommend it.

I love all those vintage 1960s b&w political/nuclear thrillers. Although the technology has advanced, the driving far-right psychopathology remains eternal.
