"I want a full report on this when we get back to the CP." "sir." "not now!" "We'll get into this when we get back to camp." "I can promise you something. there will be a court martial." "Right now I need every man in the field." "And you two will cease fire." "Sergeant Elias... sir." "We're back in that NVA bunker complex tomorrow." "This time from the east."

"He just scares me." "You bloods are getting too hung up on all this shit." "These gooks are a lot smarter than you think." "man." "every last one of 'em." "right?" "He'll take us the rest of the way." "A Christian don't go around a village cutting off heads and shit." "man." "Way outta control. the way you shoot up that shit all the time. but I'm hurting real bad inside." "Don't worry about it." "Elias won't be able to prove a thing." " He's a troublemaker." " Elias is a water-walker." "Like them politicians in Washington trying to fight this war with one hand tied around their balls." "Ain't no need or time for a courtroom out here." "Bun." "Bob?" "man." "that's what he is." "He's gonna get everybody in this platoon in deep shit." "Somebody oughta frag his ass." "Bob?" "Gonna be an investigation or what?" "Bob?" "you worry too much." "Sarge'll take care of it." "It's a beautiful night." "Yeah." "I love this place at night." "The stars..." "There's no right or wrong in 'em." "They're just there." "That's a nice way of putting it." "doesn't he?" "Barnes believes in what he's doing." "And you?" "Do you believe?" "In '65... yeah. no." "What happened today is just the beginning." "We're gonna lose this war." "Come on!" "You really think so?" "Us? I figure it's time we got ours kicked." "I struggle to maintain but my sanity." "It's all a blur." "I have no energy to write." "I don't know what's right and what's wrong any more." "The morale of the men is low." "There's civil war in the platoon." "half with Barnes." "There's a lot of suspicion and hate." "I can't believe we're fighting each other when we should be fighting them." "and the six inches in front of my face." "Not much else." "Grandma." "Tell Mom and Dad I..." "Well... just tell them." "Chris." "I know you thought you had that laundry gig all laid out." "I gotta paint myself white just to get me one of them fucking jobs!" "I got my request in for a circumcision!"

"Lerner's hit!" "Sergeant Warren's hit!" "What the fuck's going on?" "man!" "It's an ambush!" "They were fucking waiting for us!" " Who's on point?" " Lerner and Warren!" "where are you going?" "you assholes!" "Get some firepower up there!" "Watch out!" "Rockets!" " Where the fuck's Lerner?" " He's over there!" "By the log!" "Fire mission!" "Grid 649402." "610..." "Adjust fire!" "Over!" "they're gonna get in tight under the arty!" "Let me get some men and roll up that flank." "I can work right up on them!" "we got four down up there!" "What do you want me to do?" "Where the fuck is Red Platoon?" "Tell those assholes to get up here!" "there's holes here." "Third Platoon's coming up here." "We're here." "they got us caught in the crossfire." "Elias." "I've seen it happen-la Drang in '66." "They cut us to fucking pieces!" "I need three men!" "you got 'em." "Take off." " Keep pouring off that cover fire." "I don't want to be stuck out there with my ass hanging in the breeze!" "Elias!" "You go crying and rat-fucking to brigade on your own time!" "move!" "Barnes!" "get that asshole O'Neill up here!"

"You'll be OK." "Drop your rucks." "you're coming with us." "Please don't go!" "Don't!" "You're gonna be OK." "man." "Redleg!" "Redleg!" "Ripper Bravo Two actual!" "Adjustment follows!" "You ignorant asshole!" "What the fuck coordinates are you giving?" "You wasted a lot of people up there with your fucked-up fire mission!" "You know that?" "shit!" "Redleg!" "Redleg!" "Ripper Bravo Two!" "Check your fire!" "Check your fire!" "They're coming." "Stagger yourself across this line." "Shoot anything that moves." " They'll be coming from over there." " Gotcha." "we're truly fucked." "Where the hell are you going? in case they try to flank us." "so watch for 'em." "Can I go with you?" "No." "I move faster alone." "Come here." "Let's let arty do a little bit of the work here." "You tell everybody to pull back to the church." "We link up with Third Platoon." "You got that?" "he'll be cut off." "Lieutenant!" "I'll get him." "man!" " I got one!" "Ho Chi Minh sucks dead dicks!" "Crawford!" "man!" "man!" "I never thought I'd get hit!" "babe." "You got two of them fuckers." "a bunch of gooks came through there." "We got three of the fuckers!" "Did you hear the arty shift?" "We're pulling back." "Get the fuck back to church." "I'll get him!" "You get Crawford in." "Now!" "Before you Article 15 both your asses!" "Move!" "Move it!" "We still got ya." "where the fuck are you?" "brother." "where are you going?" "Elias is dead." "Fall back with the platoon." " Get going." " He's dead?" "Yeah." "He's back there about 100 metres." "You saw him?" "Where?" "He's dead!" "There's gooks all over the goddamn place!" "Get moving!" "let's go!" "Move it!" "let's go!" "bud." "fuck!" "They've got Elias!" "What?" "Back down!" "Back down there!" "Fly Four." "There's still one of the men down there." "pull up!" "We're trying to cover it on my side." "He killed him." "I know that he killed him." "I saw his eyes when he came back in." "man." "man." "You were there." "I know what you were thinking." "I say we frag that fucker tonight!" "I go with that." "An eye for an eye." "I say let military justice do the job on him." "Fuck the military justice!" "Are you joking me?" "Who do you think they'll believe?" "O'Neill?" "Bunny?" "Wolfe?" "Bullshit! Barnes'll shove it up your ass with a candle on it!" "huh?" "I suggest you all watch your own asses!" "Barnes is gonna be coming down on all of 'em!" "You gonna forget about Elias and all the good times we done had in here?" "You're trying to cure the headache by cutting off the head." "Elias didn't ask you to fight his battles for him." "I hope there is - cos he done left his pains down here." "Barnes is a fucking murderer!" "Taylor... telling me how you admired the bastard!" " I was wrong." " Wrong?" "You ain't never been right..." "about nothing!" "and dig it good!" "and he ain't dead!" "huh?" "Barnes ain't meant to die!" "The only thing that could kill Barnes... is Barnes." "Talking about killing?" "You all experts?" "You all know about killing?" "potheads." "You smoking this shit so as to escape from reality?" "I don't need this shit." "I am reality." "and there's the way it is." "Elias was full of shit." "Elias was a crusader. but when he don't..." "the machine breaks down." "And when the machine breaks down we break down." "And I ain't gonna allow that from any of you." "Not one." "You all love Elias." "You wanna kick ass." "all by my lonesome." "And there ain't nobody gonna know." "Six of you boys against me." "Kill me." "I shit on all of you!" "You motherfucker!" "fuck!" "Chris!" "man." "You'll go dinky dow in LBJ." "Ten years for killing an enlisted man." "man!" "Don't do it!" "Death?" "What do you all know about death?" "into a battalion perimeter." "It felt like we were returning to the scene of a crime." "Alpha Company had been hit hard by a sizeable force and Charlie Company had been probed that night." "but we knew we were gonna be the bait to lure them out." "Somewhere out there was the entire 141st NVA Regiment." "Caught those motherfuckers trying to pull some shit on Charlie Company." "man." "A friend at Battalion says they had every fucking foxhole fixed on it." "Distances... tree lines... our claymores... man." "I got bad vibes here." "I also heard we're in fucking Cambodia now." "you kidding me!" "sir?" "Ramucci." "Looks like you got Elias's squad now." "I didn't know we were still referring to this platoon in terms of squads." "look..." "I want you to take those two holes there and there." "King down there." "sir." "My two holes are far enough apart you could run a regiment through and never see 'em." "sir." "I don't wanna hear your problems." "You'll get new men any day." " Make do like everybody else." " I didn't ask for this job." " I don't wanna hear it." " You don't wanna hear it?" "OK?" "I don't give a flying fuck any more." "Right." "I'm glad I ain't going with 'em." "and he hungry tonight." "What a fuckin' bummer!" "Ten days and a wake-up and I'm still dealing with this shit." "man?" "How come you ain't writing nobody?" "What about your folks?" "That grandma you was telling me about?" "Girl?" "don't you?" "There must be somebody." "there's nobody." "troop." "Gotta control that-bring a man down." "I remember when you first come out here to the bush." "You was green as a..." "King?" "man." "Just keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the worm will turn." "How many days are you short?" "it's not just me." "It's the way the whole thing works." "People like Elias get wasted." "People like Barnes go on making up the rules any way they want." "So what do we do?" "Sit in the middle and suck on it." "King." "man?" "All you got to do is make it outta here the rest of your life-gravy!" "shit." "Superlifer." "collect up your shit." "Your order's just come through." "you need a written invitation?" "wow!" "The lifers have made a mistake!" "Taylor!" "Get your pig to Rodriguez." "You got ten minutes to make the last chopper out." "If you're not on it..." "I'm gonna be." "Francis is coming up." "OK?" "You got my address." "You know where to get hold of me." "man." "I don't wanna miss that chopper." "I'm OK." "take it easy." "and don't you be no fool." "Ain't no such thing as a coward out here." "It don't mean nothing." "My man!" "man." "King." "brother!" "Later!" "don't touch this!" "man!" " So what's the problem?" " Says he can't walk." "Shit...!" "Martin... get your boots on." "I'm gonna court-martial your nigger ass." "motherfucker!" "Bust my ass!" "Send me to fucking Long Binh!" "Do your fucking worst!" "You white folks have got your last klik outta Junior!" "get me that centipede." " Sergeant?" " Yeah." "red and black bastard I found in the ammo crate." "see if he can walk." "I remember now." "all right?" "man!" "I gotta have him in my hole?" "Yeah."
