Robert Patrick: Colonel Tom Ryan

Quotes 

• Colonel Tom Ryan : War, Ms Brown is waste and chaos. Thats what it is. And it is.

  Colonel Tom Ryan : Its the most profound waste of life, time and spirit, treasure known to man.

  Colonel Tom Ryan : War is an obscenity and we say however that it is preferable to subjugation. And it is.

  Colonel Tom Ryan : Time and place and the cause of war however we may characterise it is, is most times beyond our control. And they are most certainly beyond the control of a soldier. All soldiers suffer in war and their families suffer equally.
