"The Prussian service was considerably worse than the English. The life that the private soldier led was a frightful one. Punishment was incessant, and every officer had the right to inflict it. The gauntlet was the most common penalty for minor offences. The more serious ones were punishable by mutilation or death. At the close of the Seven Years' War, the army, so renowned for its disciplined valour, was officered by native Prussians. But it was composed, for the most part, of men from the lowest levels of humanity, hired or stolen from almost every nation in Europe. Thus Barry fell into the very worst of courses and company and was soon very far advanced in the science of every kind of misconduct."

"A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one. This heart of Lieschen's was like many a neighbouring town and had been stormed and occupied several times before Barry came to invest it."

"It is well to dream of glorious war in a snug armchair at home, but it is a very different thing to see it first hand. And after the death of his friend, Barry's thoughts turned from those of military glory to those of finding a way to escape the service to which he was now tied for another six years. Gentlemen may talk of the age of chivalry, but remember the ploughmen, poachers and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world."

"Barry's first taste of battle was only a skirmish against a small rearguard of Frenchmen who occupied an orchard beside a road down which, a few hours later, the English main force would wish to pass. Though this encounter is not recorded in any history books, it was memorable enough for those who took part."

"No lad who has liberty for the first time, and twenty guineas in his pocket, is very sad, and Barry rode towards Dublin thinking not so much of the kind mother left alone, and of the home behind him, but of tomorrow, and all the wonders it would bring."

"He stepped on a landmine-simida! [made-to-believe Korean phrase, which is really Mandarin, in order to trick the American tank crew]"

"Wow, that sucks for you. [The American tank crew, after seeing Zhao stepping on the landmine]"

"If you didn't hear the bugle call, even if you are the last man left. You must keep fighting. [Liu to Gu Zidi]"

"[Enraged of the truth about their defeat] You were afraid of being bitten to death!? What about us!? our Ninth Company?"

"[Taking the landmine for Zhao] The Bugle call rings in my ears, it never stops playing. All my men heard it, but I didn't, I might as well be dead, so I can see my 47 brothers again."

"We don't know [Korean], but the Americans don't goddamned know, either."

"[To Wang Jinchun, who is solely frightened in the final battle] If you are afraid, Shout! It works and fights off the fear!"

"[Persuading GMT forces to surrender] Brothers of the Chiang Army's 168 Division, greetings from the Captain of the Central Plain army's Independent 2nd division's 139th regiment's 3rd battalion for the whole 9th company. You have been surrounded, fighting on like this will do no good to either side, we have two treats for you. One is bullets, one is dumplings. We will keep them coming if you want fo fight on, and when you had enough, come and trade your rifles for a pair of chopsticks, the 9th company will sit down with the brothers, we can all eat dumplings!"
