The Questionable Authority : War isn't hell.:
Hawkeye: War isn't hell. War is war and hell is hell, and of the two war is a lot worse.

Fr. Mulchay: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies, in fact, except for a few of the brass almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
