I think the actual phrase is considerably more, er...colorful, something
along the lines of "I bet you're the kind of faggot who wouldn't even have
the common decency to give a fellow a reach-around while you're fucking
him in the ass." Sgt. Hartman was not one to avoid the opportunity to
impugn one's sexuality fully. The dark, dark comedy of the opening section
of FMJ is what it sounds like EWS is either missing or even more subtly
expresses, depending on whose viewing of the film you read. I'm seeing it
tomorrow, so I can't speak for it (yet).
