Helo: That's as close as you get, now just settle down. Settle down, and no one gets hurt.
Man: I have to get on board. I'll give you fifty thousand. (Other people yell similar things.)
Helo: We're not taking money. This isn't a rescue ship, this is a military vessel, and we're not taking money.
People: You can't just leave us here! What about the children? (Man approaches, Boomer fires into the air.)
Boomer: All right, all right. Children first. Children. (The children go up.) All right, we can take three more people.
Helo: That's the maximum load if we're gonna break orbit.
Man: Who chooses the three, you?
Boomer: No one chooses. No one. Lottery. Everyone gets a number. Put the numbers in a box, take out three. That's it, no arguing, no appeal.
Helo: And I will shoot the first person who tries to board before then.
Boomer: Helo, get your flight manual, tear out the pages.

Athena - Battlestar Galactica bridge officer: Father? Father, are you all right?
Adama - Battlestar Galactica Commander: If anyone amongst us can say that he's all right, after what has happened, I'd recommend them for catharsis treatment.
Athena: That's not the Warrior I'm used to. Whatever happened to the joy of living to fight another day?
Adama: Ah, yes, the joy of living. You were aboard the Galactica. You didn't see them down there; their faces. The old, the young. Desperate. Begging - screaming - for a chance to come aboard. A chance to live. And there I was like God - passing out priorities as - as if they were tickets to a lottery.

(Number Six walks away, looking upset.)
(Cut to a tv screen, where a reporter, whose name is given as Kellan Brody, is talking to a man, Dr. Gaius Baltar.)
Brody: For those of you just joining us from the pyramid game on Geminon, welcome to The Spotlight, our weekly interview program devoted to people making news on Caprica.
(Gaius is looking out the window and then looking at his watch.)
Brody: Today, we're talking to Dr. Gaius Baltar, winner of three Magnet Awards over the course of his career, a media cult figure and a personal friend of President Adar's. He is currently working as a top consultant for the ministry of defense on computer issues, but he's perhaps best known for his controversial views on advancing computer technology. (The camera pans around so that we can see that Baltar is giving the interview from his home. Nice place.) Dr. Baltar, again, welcome.
Baltar: Thank you, Kellan. And first may I say how lovely you're looking, and secondly, what an absolute pleasure it is to be on the show.
Brody: Well, we're delighted to have you with us. Could you summarize your views for our audience?
Baltar: Yes, I'd be happy to. My position is very simple. (Off to the side, we see Number Six walk into the house and put a metal box down on a table.) The ban on research and development into artificial intelligence is, as we all know, a holdover from the Cylon Wars. Quite frankly, I find this to be an outmoded concept. It serves no useful purpose except to impede our efforts.

Boomer: Last one. 47. 47. (Everyone groans, Baltar looks distressed. Helo looks at Baltar, recognizes him.)
Old woman (with glasses perched on top of her head): (to Baltar) Excuse me, I forgot my glasses, I must have left them somewhere. Could you please read this for me? (She has #47.)
Helo: Hey. Aren't you Gaius Baltar?
Baltar: I haven't done anything. This lady has ticket number 47. This lady here.
Helo: Could you come up here, please.
Baltar: Here.
Boomer: (to Helo) What are you doing?
Helo: (taking her hand) I'm giving up my seat.
Boomer: Like hell.
Helo: A civilian should take my place.
Boomer: You're going.
Helo: Look at those clouds. Sharon, look at those clouds, and tell me this isn't the end of everything.
Boomer: Helo...
Helo: Whatever future is left is gonna depend on whoever survives. Give me one reason why I'm a better choice than one of the greatest minds of our time.
Boomer: Helo-
Helo: You can do this without me. I know you can, you've proven it.

Suddenly, the lights began to go off. One of the pilots mused, "I think they know we are here." Thirty seconds prior, the Apache crews turned on their ranging lasers. At exactly 2:37:50 AM, White Team Apache pilot 2d Lt. Tom Drew keyed his radio and broadcast, "Party in ten." Precisely ten seconds later all crews began firing their Hellfire missiles. Twenty seconds later, the deadly weapons began to detonate against the structures. The generators were hit first, then the command bunkers, and finally, the radar dishes themselves. Several Iraqi enemy soldiers died in the barrage.
Once all the Hellfires had been expended, the helicopters flew toward the sites and ripple-fired their rockets. Two thousand meters from the sites, they opened up with their 30 mm chain guns and riddled what remained of the compounds with every bullet they had. Four minutes after it started, it was over. The Apaches had expended twenty-seven Hellfire missiles, 100 Hydra-70 rockets, and 4,000 rounds of 30 mm cannon fire. They turned south, rejoined with the Pave Lows, and headed home. En route, Captain Martin's crew observed what appeared to be the launch of two SA-7 missiles. They utilized their on-board defensive systems and some aggressive maneuvering to escape the missiles.
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 05/14/07 9:12 AM
but I think what this all represents is me flying into Iraq, running out of fuel because I engaged enemy fighters, and then having to land and find fuel. I also found myself reading that book by Claire and having a hard time to believe we didn't get swarmed by enemy fighters.

Agile and Deadly – Maneuverability of the Apache Helicopter
The AH-64 Apache helicopter is not just a powerful weapon; it is also an incredibly agile and maneuverable aircraft. The Apache’s design allows it to perform tight turns, rapid changes in direction, and precise hovering. This level of maneuverability is crucial in combat situations, where the ability to quickly evade enemy fire and engage targets with precision is paramount.

Boomer: Get on board. (They get on board; the crowd objects.)
Helo: I think you better go. (to the crowd) Stay back. Stay back! It's over, it's over.
(Baltar sees Six in the crowd - he looks again and she's gone.)
(Boomer starts to take off. A man climbs onto the side of the ship and Helo shoots him. He and Boomer wave at each other as she leaves.)

Adama: (stepping closer) He's the XO of this ship. Don't you dare forget that. Now he made a tough decision. If it'd been me, I would have made the same one.
Chief: Forty seconds, sir.
Adama: Resume your post, Chief. (The Chief leaves, gives Tigh a look on his way out.)
Tigh: Munitions depot confirmed, but we have two problems. One, the Ragnar station is at least three days away at best speed. Two, the entire Cylon fleet is between here and there.
Adama: Specialist.
Specialist: Sir.
Adama: Bring me our position.
Specialist: Yes, sir.
Tigh: You don't want to do this.
Adama: I know I don't.
Tigh: Because any sane man wouldn't. It's been, what, twenty, twenty-two years?
Adama: We trained for this.
Tigh: Training is one thing, but - if we're off in our calculations by even a few degrees, we could end up in the middle of the sun.
Adama: No choice. Colonel Tigh, please plot a hyperlight jump from our position to the orbit of Ragnar.
Tigh: Yes, sir.
Dualla: (in tears) Priority message, sir.
Tigh: Engineering, spin up FTL drives one and two.
Man: Spinning up FTL drives one and two.
Tigh: Lieutenant Gaeta, break up the FTL tables and warm up the computers. We are making a jump.

"Retreat, hell! We just got here."
DEC 11, 2014
America entered World War I to reinforce the battered French and British troops waging a desperate fight against Germany. On June 2, 1918, a division of Marines was sent to support the French army at Belleau Wood. As the Marines arrived, they found French troops retreating through their lines. A French colonel, attempting to acquaint the Americans with the realities of the situation and not trusting his spoken English, scribbled a note to the officer in charge of the Americans ordering them to retreat. The Marine officer looked at the Frenchman coldly and said, “Retreat, Hell! We just got here.” That officer was Capt. Lloyd W. Williams, commanding the 51st Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment.

Subject: Microsoft might take a new look at lethal injection
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/261975_lethal07.html
A decade ago, when Microsoft executives made lethal injection the primary way to execute pesky competition, it was considered less barbaric than hanging and less likely to bring long, costly trips to the woods.
Bill Gates has called lethal injection "undoubtedly innovative" and said that ruling otherwise would be "tantamount to forbidding the death penalty altogether for our competitors."
But now, as death row competitors in other states claim it's cruel punishment because it may not bring a peaceful death as once believed, some managers say Bill Gates will likely have to look for another more painful method.
"It's pretty clear that this method of execution has the potential to cause a great deal of pain -- and maybe even more pain than some of the methods we're using now and we like that."

Yesterday, I started thinking that maybe no one is going to just give me the explanation I have been waiting on. Instead, what I think is going to happen is someone is going to hand me a set of keys and say "Here you go. One shiny, pre-owned Microsoft. Have fun." I just wonder if Bill Gates is a smoker and if so, whether I will be able to get that smoky smell out of it before I take it for a drive.

Battle of Belleau Wood
From Wikipedia
The Battle of Belleau Wood (1–26 June 1918) occurred during the German spring offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France. The battle was fought between the U.S. 2nd (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and 3rd Divisions along with French and British forces against an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions. The battle has become a key component in the lore of the United States Marine Corps.
Fighting in Belleau Wood
The battle was now deadlocked. At midnight on 7–8 June, a German attack was stopped cold and an American counter-attack in the morning of 8 June was similarly defeated. Sibley's battalion—having sustained nearly 400 casualties—was relieved by the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. Major Shearer took over the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines for the wounded Berry. On 9 June, an enormous American and French barrage devastated Belleau Wood, turning the formerly attractive hunting preserve into a jungle of shattered trees. The Germans counter-fired into Lucy and Bouresches and reorganized their defenses inside Belleau Wood.
In the morning of 10 June, Major Hughes' 1st Battalion, 6th Marines—together with elements of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion—attacked north into the wood. Although this attack initially seemed to be succeeding, it was also stopped by machine gun fire. The commander of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion—Major Cole—was mortally wounded. Captain Harlan Major—senior captain present with the battalion—took command. The Germans used great quantities of mustard gas. Next, Wise's 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines was ordered to attack the woods from the west, while Hughes continued his advance from the south.
At 04:00 on 11 June, Wise's men advanced through a thick morning mist towards Belleau Wood, supported by the 23rd and 77th companies of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, and elements of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Engineers and were cut to pieces by heavy fire. Platoons were isolated and destroyed by interlocked machine gun fire. It was discovered that the battalion had advanced in the wrong direction. Rather than moving northeast, they had moved directly across the wood's narrow waist. However, they smashed the German southern defensive lines. A German private, whose company had 30 men left out of 120, wrote "We have Americans opposite us who are terribly reckless fellows."
Overall, the woods were attacked by the Marines a total of six times before they could successfully expel the Germans. They fought off parts of five divisions of Germans, often reduced to using only their bayonets or fists in hand-to-hand combat.
On 26 June, the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, under command of Major Maurice E. Shearer, supported by two companies of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion and the 15th Company of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, made an attack on Belleau Wood, which finally cleared that forest of Germans. On that day, Major Shearer submitted a report simply stating, "Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely", ending one of the bloodiest and most ferocious battles U.S. forces would fight in the war.

Tigh: Grant the request.
(Cut to Tigh and Roslin discussing the situation.)
Tigh: We are in the middle of repairing and rearming this ship. We can't afford to lose a single man off the line to start caring for refugees.
Roslin: We have fifty thousand people out there. Some of them are hurt. Our priority has to be caring for refugees.
Tigh: My priority is preparing this ship for combat. In case you haven't heard, there's a war on.
Roslin: Colonel, the war is over. And we lost.
Tigh: We'll see about that.
Roslin: Oh yes, we will. In the meantime, however, as the President of the Colonies, I'm giving you a direct order. To provide -
Tigh: You don't give orders on this ship.

Roslin: Then you do acknowledge my position as president as duly constituted under the articles of colonization.
Adama: Miss Roslin, my primary objective at the present time is to repair the Galactica and continue to fight.
Roslin: What we do know at this moment is that there are fifty thousand civilian refugees out there who don't stand a chance without your ship to protect them.
Adama: We're aware of the tactical situation, and I'm sure that you'll all be safe here on Ragnar after we leave.
Roslin: After you leave? Where are you going?
Adama: To find the enemy. We're at war, and that's my mission.
Roslin: I honestly don't know why I have to keep telling you this, but the war is over.
Adama: It hasn't begun yet.
Roslin: That's insane.
Adama: You would rather that we run?
Roslin: Yes, absolutely. That is the only sane thing to do here, exactly that: run. We leave this solar system, and we don't look back.
Adama: And we go where?
Roslin: I don't know. Another star system, another planet, somewhere where the Cylons won't find us.
Adama: You can run if you like. This ship will stand, and it will fight.
Roslin: I'm gonna be straight with you here. The human race is about to be wiped out.
