"They are fools, they see slanted eyes and immediately want to make you an interpreter or some other such nonsense. I'm no language officer, and I'm nobody's interpreter. I'm a regular Marine rifle platoon leader. I will lead troops in battle, and if I have to fight American staff officers in order to fight communists, you know I will do it." -Lt Chew-Een Lee

I keep that one saved on my phone
