Gerald McRaney: Major John D. MacGillis

Quotes 

• Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Sir, that Red Ryder was my childhood dream. I pleaded with my parents for one of those rifles. Every birthday, every Christmas. Once I even tried Hanukkah. They just gave me a dreidel.

  Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis : That's a shame. I got this baby for my tenth birthday.

  Gunnery Sgt. Alva 'Gunny' Bricker : Oh, lucky you, sir. All I got was a pair of ice skates and a pink tutu. "Rifles are for boys, you'll put an eye out"; like it's okay for boys to have one eye.
