Admiral Reigart: Our man is down behind enemy lines, now what the fuck is the problem?
Admiral Piquet: [Yelling] Do you have any idea how much damage this incident may cause to the peace process?
Admiral Reigart: All I know, Admiral, is that the American people want their pilot back.
Admiral Piquet: Exactly! Americans, all you care about is your own damn pilots! What happens when the fighting starts again? Will America recommit its forces to stop a major war? No, you don't have any control over that little detail, do you? You might have helped save your man today, Reigart, and I emphasize 'might', but you risk the lives of thousands tomorrow.

Chris Burnett: [Referring to Admiral Reigart] Did you see this? He put us on the holiday mission! God damn it!
Stackhouse: Yeah, well look on the bright side, at least we get to fly, right?
Chris Burnett: Yeah, during the one good meal of the year, it's almost as if he doesn't like us.
Stackhouse: [Jokingly] No, you. Not me. You.
