"You might be against the war, but don't be against the troops. I joined the army to to fight for my country, now that I'm over here I'm fighting for my friends."

Didn't catch his name, but he is a Marine SGT. who was injured and speaking at a press conference.

Another quote that was good was from a wounded GI on the hospital ship. The reporter asked how he liked being shot at. The GI said, "I don't mind being shot at, I mind being shot."

I found it. Here's the actual quote:

"We talked about how getting shot at wasn't really that bad," he said. "It was just the getting shot part that sucked."
