(from internet transcript)
CARTER: So Ra isn't dead after all.
JACKSON: It wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.
CARTER: Who?
JACKSON: Um... it's from Egyptian mythology. Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent god, Ra's rival, who ruled the night. It's right out of the Book of the Dead. They're living it.

14. JOINT MERITORIOUS UNIT AWARD
a. Introduction
(1) The JMUA was established on June 4, 1981, by the Secretary of Defense and was originally called the DoD Meritorious Unit Award. The JMUA was made retroactive to January 23, 1979. It is the only ribbon (no medal) award granted by the Department of Defense.
The JMUA ribbon is similar to the DSSM ribbon except the JMUA has a gold frame around it.
The service performed is the same for both awards, with the JMUA ribbon awarded to units and joint activities and the DSSM medal awarded to individuals.
(2) The JMUA is only awarded to joint units or activities (a DoD activity consisting of elements of more than one Military Service). To qualify, the joint activity must either report through combatant or combined command channels or pursue a joint mission under the cognizance of the Secretary of Defense; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the commander of a unified, specified, or combined command that is also a joint command; or the Secretary of a Military Department that has been designated the EA for the Secretary of Defense.
b. Award Category. Defense/Joint Unit Award.
c. Eligibility Requirements and Criteria
(1) All joint units and activities, including JTFs, are eligible for award of the JMUA. Members of Service-unique units assigned and/or attached to joint units, activities, or JTFs are not eligible for the JMUA, but retain eligibility for unit awards from their parent Services. The JMUA is awarded to units in recognition of exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service. However, a unit or activity s outstanding accomplishment
DoDM 1348.33-V1, November 23, 2010
of its normally assigned and expected mission is not in and of itself sufficient justification for award approval. Instead, qualifying achievements must be superior to that which is expected under one of the following conditions and should be operational in nature.
(a) During action in combat with an armed enemy of the United States.
(b) In a declared national emergency situation.
(c) Under extraordinary circumstances that involve national interests.

Quotes
Hanford: [at dinner] ... So what are your world views, Driscoll?
Paul Driscoll: ...I don't have any, Mr. Hanford.
Hanford: Of course you do, man. We ALL do! Like all this nonsense about giving the Indians land. What we need are twenty General Custers and a hundred thousand men! What we should have done is swept across the prairie, destroying every redskin that stood before us. Then we should have planted the American flag deep, high, and proud!
Abigail Sloan: I think the country is tired of fighting, Mr. Hanford. I think we were bled dry by the Indian Wars. I think anything we can accomplish peacefully, with treaties, we should... so long as it saves lives.
Hanford: Now, I trust this isn't the path you spoon-feed your students. Treaties, indeed! Peace, indeed! Why, the virility of a nation is in direct proportion to its military prowess. I *live* for the day when this country SWEEPS AWAY...
[notices Driscoll's disapproving look]
Hanford: ... You some kind of a pacifist, Driscoll?
Paul Driscoll: No, just some sick idiot who's seen too many boys die because of too many men who fight their battles at dining room tables... and who probably wouldn't last so long as twenty-five seconds in a REAL skirmish if they WERE thrust into it.
Hanford: ...I take offense at that remark, Mr. Driscoll!
Paul Driscoll: And I take offense at "armchair warriors" like yourself - who clearly don't know what a shrapnel, or a bullet, or a saber wound feels like... or what death smells like after three days on an empty, sun-drenched battlefield... who've never seen the look on a man's face when he realizes he's lost a limb, and his blood is seeping out. Mr. Hanford, you have a great enthusiasm for "planting the American flag deep, high, and proud." But you don't have a nodding acquaintance with what it's like for American families to bury their sons in the same soil!
