Sergeant Mike Horvath quotes

View Quote I don't know. Part of me thinks the kid's right. He asks what he's done to deserve this. He wants to stay here, fine. Let's leave him and go home. But then another part of me thinks, what if by some miracle we stay, then actually make it out of here.

Like you said, Captain, maybe we do that, we all earn the right to go home.
