Dark Sands (1937)

Henry Wilcoxon: Capt. Mack

Quotes 

• Capt. Mack : I know its tough, all right; but, war is tough, isn't it?

  Cpl. Jericho Jackson : Yes, war. But, I want to learn how to kill? No, but they taught me and taught me until my arms ached sinking steel into sandbags. These hands that I want to use to heal, to save life, to give life, turned into hands for killing.

• Capt. Mack : His conduct has always been exemplary. Another thing, he's very popular with the men. So, the morale affect on the Negro troops of prosecuting Jackson for essentially a heroic act would be - well, it would be very bad, to say the least.
