Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies.
