• Funny Moments:
  • Guba's hammy reaction when Gastovski corners him at the end of Cold War Crisis and responds to his curses and threats by a few snarky phrases in pretty good Russian. The expression on the astonished general's face is priceless:
  "You... You speak Russian? No. NOOOO! ARRRGHHHHH!!!"
  • This gem of an exchange between private Fowley and sergeant Bergoff when you're riding along with them (as Dave Armstrong) in a jeep:
  "Are we supposed to prepare for war, sir?"
  "Especially for war, private!"
  • "Jeep doesn't start with G, you meathead!"
