Sam Troy doesn’t like authority. He doesn’t want anyone trying to control his life. He wants to guide his own destiny — and in that desert patrol, he’s found a way to do it. That desert patrol is Sam Troy’s world. Anything that comes near it, that will endanger it, he destroys. He’s absolutely dedicated to his own values. He’ll shoot an enemy cold-bloodedly if it’s necessary, to protect these values. {Christopher George on “Sam Troy” in The Rat Patrol (1966)].
