Being a leader isn't about ability. It's about responsibility.
Maj. Rebecca Childs
Got it, sir.
Col. Robert Iverson
No you don't, Beck. I mean, you're not just responsible for the good ones. You've got to be responsible for the bad ones. You've got to be ready to make the shitty call.
Maj. Rebecca Childs
What makes you think I'm not?
Col. Robert Iverson
Because you're so damn good. You haven't hit anything you couldn't beat. I mean, hell, you were the one who figured out how to save the space shuttle. You made me, you made the rest of NASA just look like an ass. It's just you're used to winning... and you're not really a leader until you've lost.
