A scene from First Blood 1982
Col. Trautman

If you send your people in there after him they'll get killed.

Sheriff Teasle

[getting more irritated]

You know, we're just a small, hick-town sheriff's department, Colonel, but we're expected to do our duty just like our heroes in the Special Forces.

Trautman

In Special Forces we teach our people to stay alive in the line of duty.

Teasle

No shit, I never thought of that.

Trautman

You want a war you can't win?

Teasle

Are you tellin' me that 200 of our men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?

Trautman

You send that many, don't forget one thing.

Teasle

What?

Trautman

A good supply of body-bags.
