Default Re: What is your absolute favorite scene in a war movie?

There are two very powerful scenes in the movie Red Dawn that I like.
The first is when the Air Force Colonel is explaining the situation as he knows it.
One of the Partisans asks "is anyone with us" in which the colonel replys "6 million screaming Chinamen" another asks "I thought there where 6 billion screaming chinamen" The camp then goes quite as the group relizes the gravity of the situation

The other scene is near the end of the movie when the "Wolverines" ambush the Russian commandos sent to kill them. The group captures one of the commandos and then relize that Daryle (one of thier own) has betrayed them. When they go to execute the Russian and the traitor the Russian looks at Daryle and says something along the lines of "We both die today, will you call me brother?"

Powerful stuff
