But in the long run, that doesn't really concern us! There's a larger principle involved here! Marine: What larger purpose, sir? General: There isn't time to explain, soldier! We've got a beachhead to establish! Marine: But, sir... General: LET'S GO, MARINES! Marine: Not until you explain! Voice: I'm with you - it's gotta be for something I believe in!
