Okay. Settle an argument (disagreement). were the words "there are nothing in that state(was it Texas or Wyoming?) besides "steers or queers there" in the movie Platoon or Officer and a Gentlemen? Or both? I may not have the quote exactly correct.
Weigh in on this one. It has been a major source of disagreement today (wish we had something more worthy to argue about}.

Guess it was used in more than one movie.
Here is a Full Metal Jacket soundboard. Click on the phrase, right side, third down.

And it was Oklahoma City, cause that's where the character Daivid keith played was from. later in the movie he talks about going back to OK City to work in the grocery store.
Hugh, check the link above.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can believe RLee Ermey said the line and it does sound familiar now that I hear it. I will still insist however that the line was also in An Officer and a Gentleman, i remember the scene where the DI says it, i remember who he says it to.
Both characters are playing stereotypical drill sergeants and it's not unusually for them to use the same lines like "dont eyeball me boy" "Drop an give me twenty" "Dont call me sir I work for a living"
However, I think the TV version cut it out so the "younger generation" has not heard it from there and perhaps that is why they only remember the Full Metal Jacket quote. ??????
It's in both movies.
Did you know David Keith is from Knoxville? Richard Gere is the gerbil stuffer and he's from LA.

Texas... and it was in Full Metal Jacket.

Definitely Full Metal Jacket about Texas.
Its said twice in an Officer and a Gentlemen,once at the first of the movie to David Keith and also at the end of the movie to a new recuit as queer I mean Gere is riding off on his motorcycle.
On the unedited version, if you look real close you can see a Gerbil sitting on the back of the motorcycle as he drives away.
It was said in FMJ because private "cowboy" was from Texas, everybody knows we have alot of steers here and they just needed something that rymed with steers, I mean come on it's TEXAS I have never even known a gay.
Rest assured that there are queers in Texas. Read http://tinyurl.com/b9ahk ... the first two paragraphs right below the big I.
Of course, I disagree with Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann (Ermey in FMJ), since some very good music also comes from Texas. [;)]

I hear they also have gerbils in Texas.. big as dogs and mean too!
yeah, I knew that. He's at most of the home games on the sidelines I believe.
He was in the movie "Behind enemy lines" too with a Volunteer reference at the first part of the movie. Someone asked him how the Vols did last weekend.

Glad they didn't ask him about this year.
