General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No, I don't think I do, sir, no.
General Jack D. Ripper: He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

^ General Buck and General Ripper have got to be the most authentic portrayals of minds of military men in the history of motion pictures. George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden, the actors playing them, steal almost every scene they appear in from Peter Sellers. Such a wonderful film.

really great!

^ Thank you. I think the world could use a few more rockets going up into space and much fewer of those damn missiles that fuck with people on the ground.

powerfull :-)

^ I like how the Baikonur cosmodrome launches of that time all seem to have these large bracing structures that fold away from the rocket during the launch. It's as if the rocket is breaking away from the clutches of the Earth.
