Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 17: - To Be a Man

Captain: [staring at the sergeant] If it was not for my need of non-commissioned officers, I would have you shot. [starts circling the sergeant] One man, one single wounded man, and you lose your vehicle, [stops] your weapons and the man! [steps directly in front of the sergeant] You are going back on patrol!
Sergeant: Yes, sir!
Captain: Take the tank, and if you find the American, you'll only lose your rank and six months' pay.
Sergeant: But, sir...
Captain: If you do not find him, I will have you court-martialed for dereliction of duty. Now go!
Sergeant: [salutes and leaves]

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Near the end, when MacGyver drops the rock on the jeep, if you watch it in slow motion, you can see that there is an explosion underneath the jeep even BEFORE the rock hits the jeep. Furthermore, the rock must weigh at least one ton, yet it bounces off the jeep like it was made out of Styrofoam. Which is probably true. And why does the jeep explode anyway?
CONT: When Soviet sergeant is driving a jeep, following Afghan militia man, the Afghan is carrying Enfield No 4 bolt action rifle. When he dismounts to search cabin he has Tokarev Semi-Automatic rifle and when he enters into cabin in search of Khalil he has again Bolt action Enfield No 4 on his hands.
