Danger Close Quotes

“The best thing about the army is its simplicity. You train and you fight. Your food, lodging, expenses are all handled for you. You don’t need to worry about a budget, or paying bills, or anything like that. The army allows you to drop out of the real world.”
― Cameron Curtis, Danger Close

“I pin the laser on the Impala and take another reading. Four hundred thirty yards, line of sight. I push a button on the rangefinder and switch to inclinometer mode. The device calculates the cosine of the angle made between true horizontal and my line of sight. The digital reading is zero-point-eight-seven, equivalent to about thirty degrees. A quick mental calculation gives me the range adjustment. The horizontal range is three hundred and seventy-five yards.”
