Alternatively
Glory but "idjits" doesn't sound right for
Glory.

The Siege of Jadotville 'cos they're Irish and would say "idjits". Good film BTW.

I just love movies, especially westerns and war/military movies. I think I know the entire script for Zulu, such that I could probably play every part if they ever do it on radio.
Try this one from one of my favourite films, a stunning military drama. A clue - it's being said to a young naval officer.
"What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some f*****g courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely."
"Faggoty white uniform" make me think US Navy. :)
Obvious first choice is Top Gun or Officer and a Gentleman. Don't remember it in the first, never watched the second, definitely US Naval flyer vibe.
Confrontational so suggests inter-service rivalry - lets out "Flight of the Intruder". Could be "Behind Enemy Lines"? I could hear Gene Hackman saying it, but he was in the Navy in that film.
Or is it WWII? Pearl Harbour?
Dunno. Give up.
I'm guessing "A Few Good Men"
Oh hang on! Mr Cook is being a bit clever. "Military drama". Mayhap not a "War" film, but one in a military setting - like The Presidio or The General's Daughter.
Courage Under Fire wasn't Navy so A Few Good men then? Sounds like Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise.

Also contains the phrases: "Chicken. Good!" and "Excuse me sir, are you classified as Human? Negative. I am a meat popsicle" ...

Not really. Not a sci-fi fan I'm afraid. Not mad about comedy movies either, so I'm out. But I do remember a chicken quote from a comedy movie, though I can't remember what it was. It goes something like.
"What's for dinner?"
"Coq au Vin"
"Good, I love chicken"
"Chicken?"
OK ... how about ... "... if you'll eat it, you'll never have to prove your courage in any other way."
There are a lot more famous quotes from this film as well, of course.
And it is a War film.
