1
00:00:19,489 --> 00:00:22,401
- Escort, hut!
- Firing party.
2
00:00:22,649 --> 00:00:25,209
Atten, hut!
3
00:00:26,889 --> 00:00:30,802
Please rise for the rendering
of military honours.
4
00:00:36,009 --> 00:00:39,604
Firing party,
fire three volleys!
5
00:00:39,889 --> 00:00:42,801
Take a breath. Stand by.
6
00:00:43,049 --> 00:00:45,404
Ready!
7
00:00:45,609 --> 00:00:49,397
Ready! Aim! Fire!
8
00:00:50,289 --> 00:00:54,202
Ready! Aim! Fire!
9
00:00:55,049 --> 00:00:59,201
Ready! Aim! Fire!
10
00:00:59,649 --> 00:01:01,321
Ready!
11
00:02:08,569 --> 00:02:12,403
This is Thor. We got
a couple people hit here.
12
00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:23,605
This is chop-2. I got Thorbear here,
took two rounds in the chest.
13
00:02:23,809 --> 00:02:28,439
- Roger that.
- He's got one round in the right arm.
14
00:02:28,689 --> 00:02:32,648
Roger that. What's gonna be
the ETA back to dust-off?
15
00:02:32,889 --> 00:02:35,847
Looks like seven minutes,
if we push it.
16
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:42,403
Roger that. This is Trail.
Trail's down to about nine.
17
00:02:45,209 --> 00:02:48,007
Okay, let's get that guy onboard.
18
00:02:49,889 --> 00:02:53,723
- Roger that. I'm on you.
- Let's get him on and get out.
19
00:02:53,969 --> 00:02:58,679
We can't take anyone else.
Make sure that guy doesn't get on.
20
00:02:58,849 --> 00:03:00,328
Roger that.
21
00:03:00,489 --> 00:03:04,004
No civilians either.
I'm not taking any interrogators.
22
00:03:04,169 --> 00:03:05,807
Jesus Christ!
23
00:03:06,249 --> 00:03:11,039
- Medevac's down! Medevac's down!
- Medevac's hit.
24
00:03:11,289 --> 00:03:14,008
Roger. We got one down here.
25
00:03:49,649 --> 00:03:53,005
Guidon. Parade, hut!
26
00:03:56,609 --> 00:04:00,204
On behalf of the president,
please accept this flag...
27
00:04:00,409 --> 00:04:04,004
...in recognition of
your loved one's faithful service.
28
00:04:07,609 --> 00:04:12,000
On behalf of the Army chief of staff
and the Arlington Ladies...
29
00:04:12,249 --> 00:04:15,605
...we extend our deepest sympathies.
God bless you.
30
00:04:23,489 --> 00:04:25,081
Dear Sarge:
31
00:04:26,129 --> 00:04:28,723
Maybe this is my last letter to you.
32
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:33,204
I feel that it is.
33
00:04:33,689 --> 00:04:37,807
- Rachel.
- I lost three men today, good ones.
34
00:04:38,289 --> 00:04:42,248
But that's the way it is.
You always lose the good ones.
35
00:04:43,089 --> 00:04:48,004
What do I tell their folks?
What would you tell my wife?
36
00:04:49,369 --> 00:04:53,328
It's funny, but I always
thought I'd been here before.
37
00:04:53,609 --> 00:04:57,318
I've been a soldier all my life.
I mean it. All my life.
38
00:04:58,009 --> 00:05:00,204
Even when I was a kid.
39
00:05:00,849 --> 00:05:06,845
Well, I'm here, but it's all wrong.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
40
00:05:07,089 --> 00:05:12,482
Sure, there was going to be blood
and sacrifice and death.
41
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:16,199
I knew that, Sarge.
But not like this.
42
00:05:18,009 --> 00:05:20,648
You tried to tell me how it was.
43
00:05:22,089 --> 00:05:24,887
Right from that very first day,
you tried.
44
00:05:25,689 --> 00:05:29,238
But I was so young.
So sure I had the answers.
45
00:05:31,809 --> 00:05:35,848
I don't think I have the answers
anymore, only questions.
46
00:05:36,009 --> 00:05:39,684
- Specialist Jack Willow reporting.
- Pete Deveber, clerk.
47
00:05:39,849 --> 00:05:42,363
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
48
00:05:42,529 --> 00:05:44,599
- Your platoon's on a drop.
- Drop?
49
00:05:44,849 --> 00:05:47,409
Burial. That's what we do here.
50
00:05:47,649 --> 00:05:53,007
Nam's made burial a growth industry.
We're up to 15 drops a day. Bing, bing.
51
00:05:53,289 --> 00:05:57,407
Since you missed this one,
take the morning off. I'll cover it.
52
00:05:57,649 --> 00:06:01,039
- That's real friendly of you.
- I'm a friendly type.
53
00:06:01,289 --> 00:06:04,645
- That the top kick's desk?
- Yeah. Slasher Williams.
54
00:06:04,889 --> 00:06:07,767
- Slasher?
- He did some boxing in the Army.
55
00:06:08,009 --> 00:06:10,045
- Yeah?
- Yeah. That reminds me...
56
00:06:10,289 --> 00:06:13,008
...I said I'd get someone
for guard duty.
57
00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:15,399
Oh, no sweat. I'll take it.
58
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:19,207
I think you're gonna like Top, man.
59
00:06:19,449 --> 00:06:22,088
I think you'll hit it off.
I really do.
60
00:06:22,809 --> 00:06:25,721
- Hi, Top.
- Hey! Hey!
61
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:29,757
- Who the hell are you?
- Willow's pulling guard duty tonight.
62
00:06:29,929 --> 00:06:33,444
Dildo, night-guard duty is the ugliest
duty you can pull...
63
00:06:33,689 --> 00:06:38,843
...and already had been pulled
by little shit-for-brains.
64
00:06:39,089 --> 00:06:42,445
I know, Top. He told me.
It's okay. I volunteered.
65
00:06:44,649 --> 00:06:47,038
You volunteered in my company?
66
00:06:47,289 --> 00:06:50,804
A fudge-nose volunteer
in my company?
67
00:06:53,649 --> 00:06:57,198
Dildo, you've managed
to top my shit list...
68
00:06:57,449 --> 00:07:01,124
...in exactly
13 fucking seconds!
69
00:07:01,369 --> 00:07:03,803
You got a problem with this boy, Top?
70
00:07:05,449 --> 00:07:08,043
No, sergeant major. Not exactly.
71
00:07:08,289 --> 00:07:11,042
I could hear you
as far as the latrine.
72
00:07:11,289 --> 00:07:15,202
This boy bugger your pet goat
or something?
73
00:07:19,489 --> 00:07:24,438
- Thought I'd drop by, catch the score.
- I think it's a disgrace.
74
00:07:24,689 --> 00:07:28,841
A disgrace that toy soldiers wear
the infantry's crossed rifles.
75
00:07:29,089 --> 00:07:31,364
Especially when the real infantry...
76
00:07:31,529 --> 00:07:35,044
...is crawling through rice paddies
and shit in Vietnam.
77
00:07:35,249 --> 00:07:38,241
I've said it enough
to make me unpopular here.
78
00:07:38,489 --> 00:07:40,525
- Sergeant Hazard.
- Sir.
79
00:07:40,769 --> 00:07:42,600
What's the debate about?
80
00:07:43,249 --> 00:07:48,198
I was telling the sergeant major, the
best thing I could do for my army...
81
00:07:48,369 --> 00:07:53,045
...is to get these snotnoses ready
for the inevitable. I wanna teach...
82
00:07:53,289 --> 00:07:57,840
Clell! You applied for a transfer
and I denied it. Now that's it.
83
00:07:58,089 --> 00:08:03,607
He's the best soldier on this post.
Except for Sergeant Major Nelson.
84
00:08:03,809 --> 00:08:07,245
- What's he doing here?
- He served two tours in Nam.
85
00:08:07,489 --> 00:08:10,049
Captain! New man.
Wanted to meet you.
86
00:08:10,289 --> 00:08:14,805
Outstanding. Come into my office.
We'll have a chat.
87
00:08:15,009 --> 00:08:21,403
- See me when you're through, dildo.
- That's Willow, Top. Common mistake.
88
00:08:24,889 --> 00:08:29,644
So you want to get laid tonight
or you rather have some fun?
89
00:08:29,889 --> 00:08:33,598
The foul mood I'm in,
I'd even hang out with you.
90
00:08:33,849 --> 00:08:37,000
- Sergeant major. Sergeant.
- Sorry, sir.
91
00:08:38,689 --> 00:08:40,202
Sir Butterbar.
92
00:08:40,609 --> 00:08:42,998
- Have a seat.
- Thank you, sir.
93
00:08:44,289 --> 00:08:49,044
- Welcome, Specialist Dildo.
- It's Willow. Specialist Willow.
94
00:08:49,289 --> 00:08:52,599
Oh, so it is. So it is.
95
00:08:52,809 --> 00:08:56,040
Home of record, Fort Huachuca.
You an army brat?
96
00:08:56,289 --> 00:08:59,804
My father is, or was,
a master sergeant, sir.
97
00:09:00,049 --> 00:09:03,837
- He's retired now.
- I see.
98
00:09:04,089 --> 00:09:09,447
College basketball, starting guard.
Outstanding.
99
00:09:09,689 --> 00:09:14,205
We could use another good player,
especially a white one.
100
00:09:14,609 --> 00:09:19,125
Work hard and you'll be an NCO
yourself before you know it.
101
00:09:19,369 --> 00:09:23,123
Sir, I was thinking of shooting
higher than that.
102
00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:26,844
I'm interested in applying for OCS.
103
00:09:27,089 --> 00:09:31,924
I'd like to apply for a transfer
to a line unit in Vietnam, sir.
104
00:09:33,289 --> 00:09:37,601
You don't fully realize the privilege
of serving in the Old Guard.
105
00:09:37,769 --> 00:09:42,240
We're the escort to the president,
the most STRAC outfit in the Army.
106
00:09:42,489 --> 00:09:47,688
Now you listen to me, son.
You got plenty of time for Vietnam.
107
00:09:47,849 --> 00:09:50,409
As for OCS, do a good job
for me here...
108
00:09:50,569 --> 00:09:54,881
...show me you're officer material,
and I'll see that you get a shot.
109
00:09:55,289 --> 00:09:58,520
The Army could use another bright
young shavetail.
110
00:09:58,769 --> 00:10:02,205
- Yes, sir.
- All right, that'll be all.
111
00:10:13,129 --> 00:10:16,007
- See you around, Pete.
- See you, man.
112
00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:18,801
How you doing?
113
00:10:56,969 --> 00:10:59,324
- Sergeant?
- Yeah.
114
00:10:59,569 --> 00:11:01,127
I can't figure this.
115
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:05,408
The shoes have little steel plates
on the insoles.
116
00:11:06,369 --> 00:11:08,599
Yes, that's right.
117
00:11:08,889 --> 00:11:13,599
That's so when you bring your feet
together, it makes a nice loud crack.
118
00:11:14,489 --> 00:11:16,207
Welcome to show business.
119
00:11:16,449 --> 00:11:19,441
It's a real honour to meet you,
sergeant.
120
00:11:19,689 --> 00:11:21,441
Is that right? Why?
121
00:11:21,689 --> 00:11:25,443
For one thing, we're the only
two men here who want out.
122
00:11:25,689 --> 00:11:31,002
- Want out? To where?
- Front line in Vietnam, sir, sergeant.
123
00:11:31,809 --> 00:11:34,607
There is no front line in Vietnam.
124
00:11:35,169 --> 00:11:38,525
It's not like other wars.
Hell, it's not even a war.
125
00:11:38,689 --> 00:11:41,408
Nothing to win. No way to win it.
126
00:11:42,809 --> 00:11:46,199
If that's how you feel,
why are you going back?
127
00:11:46,609 --> 00:11:50,397
I'm not. There's nothing for me
over there.
128
00:11:50,889 --> 00:11:54,723
I know this unit in Nam.
They print up little cards.
129
00:11:54,969 --> 00:11:59,042
They say, "Killing is our business
and business is good".
130
00:11:59,289 --> 00:12:05,125
Here, burying is our business.
Our business is better.
131
00:12:05,689 --> 00:12:11,400
Don't you be in such a hurry
to get yourself starched. Carry on.
132
00:12:16,849 --> 00:12:19,807
You knew my father, didn't you?
Shelby Willow?
133
00:12:21,089 --> 00:12:22,761
Yeah.
134
00:12:23,529 --> 00:12:25,406
Korea.
135
00:12:25,569 --> 00:12:29,005
We ran the gauntlet
to the Chongchon River.
136
00:12:30,089 --> 00:12:33,206
We were friends.
He still raising hell?
137
00:12:33,449 --> 00:12:38,000
He had two heart attacks. He's
fine now. Retired, back in Kentucky.
138
00:12:38,249 --> 00:12:42,606
He recalls you very fondly.
Asked to be remembered.
139
00:12:42,849 --> 00:12:47,604
He doesn't see the war like you.
He has a conventional infantry view.
140
00:12:47,849 --> 00:12:51,558
- I guess he's a more conventional guy.
- Yeah, I see.
141
00:12:52,769 --> 00:12:56,239
Well, I got funeral training
in 10 minutes.
142
00:12:56,529 --> 00:13:00,727
Son, if you think of it,
tell your daddy hello for me.
143
00:13:01,409 --> 00:13:03,206
Carry on.
144
00:13:26,129 --> 00:13:29,201
I never tire of watching
your mind at work.
145
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:33,641
If you're waiting for me to cheat,
I got way too much character.
146
00:13:35,209 --> 00:13:41,398
That kid made it to Delta. Thanks
for double shuffling the papers.
147
00:13:41,649 --> 00:13:45,164
He was heading for Honour Guard
Company but I figure...
148
00:13:45,329 --> 00:13:51,040
...why let them turn him into a
fruitcake? You can do it just as well.
149
00:13:51,209 --> 00:13:52,847
Whose kid is he, anyway?
150
00:13:53,009 --> 00:13:56,638
Shelby Willow's kid.
We helped each other in Korea...
151
00:13:56,809 --> 00:14:01,599
...until we had to take care of you.
- Oh, yeah, I remember him.
152
00:14:01,769 --> 00:14:04,408
I got this letter here.
153
00:14:08,689 --> 00:14:12,318
"Dear Clell", blah-blah-blah.
His wife's in the nuthouse...
154
00:14:12,569 --> 00:14:17,404
...and all he talks of is me and Linda
breaking up, like it was yesterday.
155
00:14:17,609 --> 00:14:21,807
And how rough it must be on me
not seeing my boy, Mackie.
156
00:14:22,089 --> 00:14:25,798
Anyway. And here, the last line:
157
00:14:26,689 --> 00:14:32,002
" Maybe you could look after my boy,
now and again.
158
00:14:32,489 --> 00:14:34,207
Shelby".
159
00:14:39,409 --> 00:14:44,847
- Where does a red jack go on a queen?
- These are my oriental cards.
160
00:14:45,569 --> 00:14:47,082
Oriental cards!
161
00:15:04,489 --> 00:15:06,207
How are you?
162
00:15:06,449 --> 00:15:09,043
Oh! Sun's gone.
163
00:15:09,289 --> 00:15:12,599
- Help you with those, miss?
- No, I'm fine. Thanks.
164
00:15:12,809 --> 00:15:15,607
It takes forever sometimes, really.
165
00:15:17,889 --> 00:15:21,802
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
166
00:15:35,009 --> 00:15:36,806
Sara?
167
00:15:37,689 --> 00:15:39,441
Sue?
168
00:15:40,449 --> 00:15:45,239
You're S. Davis, aren't you? Only
women use initials, to fool people.
169
00:15:45,489 --> 00:15:49,402
- Funny, worked fine until now.
- Yeah.
170
00:15:53,569 --> 00:15:56,322
- Stephanie? Sophie?
- Sam.
171
00:15:56,569 --> 00:15:58,605
Samantha.
172
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,649
It's a nice car.
173
00:16:06,889 --> 00:16:10,802
The Corvair. I watch you come and go.
174
00:16:27,649 --> 00:16:31,642
Look, I'm real sorry I said
all those dumb things in there.
175
00:16:31,889 --> 00:16:37,805
And I know how when a girl doesn't
want to lead a guy on, she clams up.
176
00:16:38,009 --> 00:16:43,242
- Yeah, well, girls are like that.
- I know you're not a rude person.
177
00:16:43,489 --> 00:16:45,400
Thanks.
178
00:16:45,849 --> 00:16:49,398
My friend and his lady friend
are coming over for dinner.
179
00:16:49,609 --> 00:16:54,637
- Maybe you'd like to join us.
- Thanks, but I'm expecting a call.
180
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:58,404
- What time?
- Chico! Tonight.
181
00:16:58,609 --> 00:17:00,201
Chico!
182
00:17:09,889 --> 00:17:14,485
Look, the thing of it is,
you really don't have a call tonight.
183
00:17:15,089 --> 00:17:19,207
I don't know why this is
so damned important to me.
184
00:17:19,449 --> 00:17:22,009
Well, thanks.
185
00:17:27,889 --> 00:17:29,800
What time?
186
00:17:30,289 --> 00:17:32,644
- Ma'am?
- What time?
187
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:41,041
Well, 1930... Uh, 7:30 would be...
188
00:17:41,289 --> 00:17:44,804
- Okay.
- 7:30.
189
00:17:51,409 --> 00:17:53,127
- Sergeant major.
- Hey, good dog.
190
00:17:53,289 --> 00:17:57,043
- You and Betty, dinner at my place?
- Sorry. Paperwork tonight.
191
00:17:57,289 --> 00:18:02,044
- I'm pretending to run the post.
- It's a girl. We can't be alone.
192
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:07,522
Watch my lips, kid.
No way, nohow.
193
00:18:08,049 --> 00:18:10,438
I'm cutting to the bottom line, pal.
194
00:18:10,609 --> 00:18:14,284
Na Trang, 1962.
Did I not save your sorry ass...
195
00:18:14,489 --> 00:18:18,368
...at extreme risk to my own?
- You got a lot of nerve.
196
00:18:18,689 --> 00:18:21,442
How big is this gal's booty, anyway?
197
00:18:21,689 --> 00:18:26,319
Cut the goddamn crap. You owe me,
and I'm calling in my marker.
198
00:18:26,529 --> 00:18:30,841
Do I have your word I won't
hear about ancient history again?
199
00:18:31,289 --> 00:18:35,407
- You do, you do.
- Okay, what time?
200
00:18:35,609 --> 00:18:39,602
- You be here at 1930.
- Okay. I'll call Betty Rae...
201
00:18:39,809 --> 00:18:43,484
...because I gotta ogle that booty.
- Watch your mouth.
202
00:18:44,089 --> 00:18:47,001
- Fucking a.
- Bastard.
203
00:18:56,889 --> 00:18:58,447
- Hi.
- Hi.
204
00:18:58,689 --> 00:19:00,407
Come on in.
205
00:19:03,289 --> 00:19:06,201
Sorry, my friends are a little late.
206
00:19:07,289 --> 00:19:11,407
- A little white wine okay?
- Fine, thank you.
207
00:19:20,729 --> 00:19:22,799
Thank you.
208
00:19:28,409 --> 00:19:30,206
It's good.
209
00:19:31,049 --> 00:19:34,200
I bought it special. Just showing off.
210
00:19:39,449 --> 00:19:43,681
- What do you do?
- I write for The Washington Post.
211
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:48,604
L came up from The Charlotte Observer
in North Carolina.
212
00:19:51,289 --> 00:19:54,201
- Will you excuse me a second?
- Sure.
213
00:20:23,649 --> 00:20:27,164
- This is beautiful. Is it Persian?
- Oh, yeah.
214
00:20:27,489 --> 00:20:31,243
They're all Persian.
215
00:20:31,489 --> 00:20:34,799
This is called an Isfahan.
216
00:20:35,089 --> 00:20:38,798
And this here is a Shiraz.
217
00:20:39,889 --> 00:20:42,608
That faded red one over there
is a Kilim.
218
00:20:42,809 --> 00:20:47,007
This one here behind me
is one I got in Kurdistan.
219
00:20:47,249 --> 00:20:48,807
It's nice.
220
00:20:49,849 --> 00:20:51,407
Well...
221
00:20:54,289 --> 00:20:58,202
When your back was turned,
I admired your book collection.
222
00:20:58,449 --> 00:21:02,840
I write for papers, so I'm
kind of an incurable snoop.
223
00:21:03,089 --> 00:21:04,807
Anyway...
224
00:21:05,209 --> 00:21:07,359
Interesting books.
225
00:21:08,129 --> 00:21:10,245
Interesting everything.
226
00:21:11,249 --> 00:21:14,559
Interesting, or interesting
for someone like me?
227
00:21:14,769 --> 00:21:20,002
Is this another lesson about girls?
We're condescending to soldiers?
228
00:21:21,249 --> 00:21:24,924
I don't know how y'all survive in that
hotbed of communism at The Post.
229
00:21:25,089 --> 00:21:28,604
- Now, that's something.
- Yeah, Pravda on the Potomac.
230
00:21:28,809 --> 00:21:32,597
Working for Senator Ervin,
I could ask the same thing.
231
00:21:32,809 --> 00:21:38,839
Now, now, sugar. Sam Ervin prides
himself in not being left of anybody.
232
00:21:39,089 --> 00:21:42,240
- That's for sure.
- Except maybe his mama.
233
00:21:42,489 --> 00:21:46,004
Except these red-blooded
American storm troopers!
234
00:21:46,249 --> 00:21:50,401
Is that what brought you boys
together? Right-wing politics?
235
00:21:51,969 --> 00:21:55,405
So, what do you guys do
on that Army post?
236
00:21:58,369 --> 00:22:01,998
Clell, old boy, you mean
you haven't told the lady?
237
00:22:02,609 --> 00:22:07,888
Why, madam, we are the Old Guard.
We are the nation's toy soldiers.
238
00:22:08,129 --> 00:22:13,249
We march with rifles that can't shoot.
We fix bayonets that cannot stick.
239
00:22:13,489 --> 00:22:16,799
We're the Kabuki theatre
of the profession of arms.
240
00:22:17,009 --> 00:22:20,718
Jesters in the court of Mars,
god of war, doo-da, doo-da.
241
00:22:20,889 --> 00:22:24,325
Now, Goody Nelson, you just
hush that up right now.
242
00:22:24,529 --> 00:22:27,407
You're beginning to sound
just like Clell...
243
00:22:27,609 --> 00:22:30,999
...bitter and cynical and irreverent.
244
00:22:31,209 --> 00:22:35,043
You have to be among the Army's
top people to get in.
245
00:22:35,289 --> 00:22:39,646
And it is a right nice honour,
I think, and a privilege...
246
00:22:39,889 --> 00:22:42,608
...for them to have
been asked to join.
247
00:22:42,809 --> 00:22:47,280
Wait a minute! We weren't asked.
We were ordered.
248
00:22:47,609 --> 00:22:53,400
We actually applied for a teaching
position at the infantry school.
249
00:22:53,609 --> 00:22:56,840
We thought we'd help some of them
come back standing up...
250
00:22:57,089 --> 00:23:00,638
...instead of stretched out
in those boxes we plant.
251
00:23:00,889 --> 00:23:04,404
You both sound like
a couple of echoes to me.
252
00:23:04,609 --> 00:23:09,205
Now, come on, you two! Where's
the rest of this wonderful meal?
253
00:23:17,889 --> 00:23:22,041
- So how did you meet Goody?
- One day a constituent from home...
254
00:23:22,209 --> 00:23:26,088
...came into Senator Ervin's office,
wanting a tour of Fort Myer.
255
00:23:26,249 --> 00:23:29,241
- I took him on the tour...
- Clell, old buddy.
256
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:35,002
Your sudden good taste is surprising.
That's a classy-looking woman.
257
00:23:35,249 --> 00:23:40,846
- I could drag my balls over her...
- You promised! Please! Stop, will you?
258
00:23:41,089 --> 00:23:43,398
Okay. Let's get back in there...
259
00:23:43,609 --> 00:23:47,648
...so I can ogle them gals
some more. Yum, yum, yum.
260
00:23:47,889 --> 00:23:51,404
I fell in love with
the sergeant major on the spot.
261
00:23:51,649 --> 00:23:55,244
As any well-bred, genteel
Southern girl would have.
262
00:23:55,409 --> 00:23:57,445
- That's beautiful.
- Make a hole.
263
00:23:57,689 --> 00:23:59,441
Make it wide.
264
00:23:59,689 --> 00:24:01,645
There you have it.
265
00:24:03,049 --> 00:24:06,086
Looks like these two are really
getting along.
266
00:24:06,689 --> 00:24:09,328
- To us and those like us.
- Damn few left.
267
00:24:10,209 --> 00:24:12,598
Most of them are dead.
268
00:24:13,009 --> 00:24:14,806
Yeah, yeah.
269
00:24:15,489 --> 00:24:17,844
Oh, can I serve?
270
00:24:18,049 --> 00:24:20,199
Yas'm!
271
00:24:25,649 --> 00:24:28,846
- Is Goody always so...?
- Oh, no, no.
272
00:24:29,089 --> 00:24:34,402
He is when he likes someone,
and he likes you.
273
00:24:35,049 --> 00:24:38,200
Are all Army sergeants like you two?
274
00:24:39,689 --> 00:24:43,204
- Well, no.
- That's a shame.
275
00:24:43,449 --> 00:24:46,043
I had a great time tonight, Clell.
276
00:24:46,289 --> 00:24:50,123
- The best I've had in a long time.
- Good.
277
00:24:50,369 --> 00:24:53,805
- Thank you for asking me.
- Thank you, Sam.
278
00:25:01,249 --> 00:25:03,001
Call me.
279
00:25:04,689 --> 00:25:06,407
Good night.
280
00:25:14,769 --> 00:25:18,603
All right, let's go! Top of the
morning, girls! Look alive!
281
00:25:18,809 --> 00:25:23,325
Walters, get out of the rack here!
Come on! Let's go, let's move.
282
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:28,241
Come on, get up! Wildman?
Let's move, come on!
283
00:25:28,489 --> 00:25:30,445
Up and at 'em, guys.
284
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:36,607
Put away the funny books
and prepare for inspection!
285
00:25:40,089 --> 00:25:43,047
- Trey, get down. Knock out 10.
- Yes, sergeant.
286
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:46,167
One, sergeant.
Two, sergeant. Three, sergeant...
287
00:25:46,689 --> 00:25:50,238
Why are you looking at my head?
I don't need a haircut!
288
00:25:50,409 --> 00:25:53,003
- Permission to recover, sir.
- Recover.
289
00:25:54,969 --> 00:25:57,608
- Looking good!
- Thank you, sir.
290
00:25:58,969 --> 00:26:01,722
Fix that! Get that pant leg
off the ground!
291
00:26:02,489 --> 00:26:06,801
Why are you looking at the back of my
head? I don't need a haircut!
292
00:26:09,889 --> 00:26:13,245
Wildman, cool it! He's on you!
293
00:26:14,089 --> 00:26:19,038
Wildman, you spastic son of a bitch!
Get at parade rest right now!
294
00:26:19,289 --> 00:26:22,599
This is the U.S. Army
3rd Infantry Old Guard...
295
00:26:22,809 --> 00:26:24,845
...not a three-ring circus!
296
00:26:27,009 --> 00:26:30,524
This shoe looks like it was
shined with a hot Hershey bar!
297
00:26:31,209 --> 00:26:36,806
I guess I have to explain chain of
command again! It's very simple!
298
00:26:37,009 --> 00:26:41,207
The lieutenant chews out Sergeant
Hazard! Hazard chews me out!
299
00:26:41,449 --> 00:26:44,282
I chew out you!
It's the chain of command!
300
00:26:44,489 --> 00:26:48,038
Very simple! Shit rolls downhill.
Do you understand?
301
00:26:48,249 --> 00:26:51,480
- Do you understand me?
- Hold on, sergeant.
302
00:26:51,929 --> 00:26:56,286
Why don't you let me work with him?
You've got better things to do.
303
00:26:56,649 --> 00:27:00,119
Yeah, specialist-wannabe-private,
you work with him.
304
00:27:00,329 --> 00:27:01,808
Yes, sergeant.
305
00:27:02,249 --> 00:27:04,809
I got better things to do.
306
00:27:07,489 --> 00:27:11,038
- Taylor, got that bunk squared?
- Let's see the shoe.
307
00:27:11,289 --> 00:27:15,601
- Are you kidding?
- Come on, I'll show you.
308
00:27:15,889 --> 00:27:19,802
- You guys talking or working there?
- You dickhead!
309
00:27:19,969 --> 00:27:23,803
- You're using real spit, right?
- It's a spit shine.
310
00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:26,603
You need cold water
and cotton balls.
311
00:27:26,809 --> 00:27:28,606
No spit?
312
00:27:29,249 --> 00:27:30,807
Like this.
313
00:27:33,049 --> 00:27:35,802
Small circles. Gotta build up a base.
314
00:27:36,049 --> 00:27:38,722
It's gonna take time. Give it a shot.
315
00:27:38,929 --> 00:27:41,807
Pull those laces out
and press them.
316
00:27:42,009 --> 00:27:46,480
All right, all right, you heroes.
Listen up!
317
00:27:46,689 --> 00:27:53,003
Nothing but stocking feet
until 0958 hours!
318
00:27:53,889 --> 00:27:56,642
- How far away are we?
- It's under control.
319
00:27:56,849 --> 00:27:59,044
- He's in Bravo.
- Right.
320
00:27:59,289 --> 00:28:00,802
Thanks.
321
00:28:02,689 --> 00:28:05,999
- I'll stall him.
- Okay.
322
00:28:09,049 --> 00:28:11,847
When the inspection begins...
323
00:28:12,089 --> 00:28:17,607
...Colonel Godwin will chat
with some of you troops...
324
00:28:17,809 --> 00:28:21,358
...real homey shit.
- Outstanding.
325
00:28:21,529 --> 00:28:24,282
Don't step on your dicks.
That is an order!
326
00:28:24,489 --> 00:28:30,041
Just say you are from Asshole,
Arkansas, or some fucking place...
327
00:28:30,289 --> 00:28:33,326
...and you love the Army, and shut up!
328
00:28:46,609 --> 00:28:53,003
If I find slobber in these canteens,
you will drink it.
329
00:29:03,689 --> 00:29:06,203
Make a hole. Make it wide.
330
00:29:22,209 --> 00:29:24,006
Soldier!
331
00:29:24,489 --> 00:29:27,845
You told the colonel
you liked the Army, soldier!
332
00:29:28,089 --> 00:29:31,001
- Where are you from?
- Columbus, Ohio.
333
00:29:31,209 --> 00:29:35,441
- There any more like you back home?
- Not that I'm aware of.
334
00:29:35,689 --> 00:29:40,080
- Do you have any sisters back home?
- Yes, I have one sister.
335
00:29:40,289 --> 00:29:42,405
Is she sexually active?
336
00:29:42,609 --> 00:29:47,444
Of course not. I mean,
she's my sister. She's only 13.
337
00:29:47,689 --> 00:29:49,202
That's too bad.
338
00:29:49,369 --> 00:29:53,999
Never underestimate the value of
early training and proper breaking-in.
339
00:30:02,289 --> 00:30:05,008
Make a hole! Make it wide!
340
00:30:30,249 --> 00:30:33,605
- What's your name, soldier?
- Willow, sergeant major.
341
00:30:34,489 --> 00:30:38,004
- How do you like the Army?
- I like it fine.
342
00:30:39,489 --> 00:30:42,049
- You take biology in school?
- Yes.
343
00:30:42,249 --> 00:30:44,604
How do worms copulate?
344
00:30:44,889 --> 00:30:48,598
They don't.
They use asexual reproduction.
345
00:30:50,369 --> 00:30:52,007
Interesting concept.
346
00:30:52,249 --> 00:30:55,446
Any idea who first came up
with that notion?
347
00:30:55,889 --> 00:31:00,007
- Reproducing without sex?
- Your wife, sergeant major?
348
00:31:10,089 --> 00:31:12,000
Forget it, fellas.
349
00:31:15,449 --> 00:31:19,078
No gigs on this platoon.
They make it through clean.
350
00:31:21,769 --> 00:31:27,605
Wildman! "Yum, yum, yum,"
said the big hungry bear!
351
00:31:27,849 --> 00:31:31,000
Let's just see what we got here.
352
00:31:32,809 --> 00:31:36,404
- Gracious me!
- Pray.
353
00:31:45,889 --> 00:31:48,244
Who's babysitting this kid, Clell?
354
00:31:48,489 --> 00:31:51,208
Mr. Asexual Reproduction?
355
00:32:07,089 --> 00:32:08,807
Well.
356
00:32:10,409 --> 00:32:14,800
I think I know what that is,
but I don't know if he does.
357
00:32:18,009 --> 00:32:20,000
Sergeant Hazard.
358
00:33:14,289 --> 00:33:16,803
Bearers, halt.
359
00:33:19,689 --> 00:33:21,759
Ready? Up.
360
00:33:24,409 --> 00:33:27,207
Ready? Step.
361
00:33:32,289 --> 00:33:36,726
- Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
- Why don't they hurry this up?
362
00:33:36,969 --> 00:33:39,244
- No shit!
- Steady!
363
00:33:42,089 --> 00:33:44,398
Ready? Down.
364
00:33:45,809 --> 00:33:49,085
Atten, hut!
365
00:33:52,049 --> 00:33:55,166
Guidon. Parade, hut!
366
00:33:57,489 --> 00:34:00,208
Secure casket.
367
00:34:21,889 --> 00:34:24,847
Guidon. Atten, hut!
368
00:34:26,729 --> 00:34:28,447
- Escort!
- Pershing's own.
369
00:34:28,689 --> 00:34:31,157
Attention!
370
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:33,041
- Right.
- Right.
371
00:34:33,289 --> 00:34:35,007
Face!
372
00:34:42,769 --> 00:34:45,237
- Right shoulder.
- Right shoulder.
373
00:34:45,489 --> 00:34:47,400
Hut!
374
00:34:49,489 --> 00:34:51,161
Colours. Ready? Hut!
375
00:34:51,369 --> 00:34:54,839
Guidon. Ready? Hut!
376
00:35:01,289 --> 00:35:07,000
Ex-slow cadence!
Forward, hut!
377
00:35:47,769 --> 00:35:51,284
Evening, major, sergeant.
You wanted to see me?
378
00:35:51,769 --> 00:35:53,600
- What?
- You wanted to see me.
379
00:35:53,849 --> 00:35:56,443
No, we wanna buy you a beer.
Sit, relax.
380
00:35:56,689 --> 00:35:59,806
Hey, Zeke! Draw three!
381
00:36:02,049 --> 00:36:06,998
Sergeant major is a friend of
your dad's from the Korean War days.
382
00:36:13,289 --> 00:36:19,205
Now then, as to results
of recent battalion inspection...
383
00:36:19,889 --> 00:36:23,006
You see, kid,
as the Good Book says...
384
00:36:23,209 --> 00:36:26,599
...some days the bear eats you.
Others, you eat it.
385
00:36:26,809 --> 00:36:30,040
Meaning we won the inspection,
Wildman and all.
386
00:36:30,889 --> 00:36:35,041
You looked good today, kid.
Sharpest trooper I've seen all week.
387
00:36:35,209 --> 00:36:38,804
That includes them prima donnas
at Honour Guard Company.
388
00:36:39,009 --> 00:36:41,807
- Congratulations.
- Thanks, sergeant major.
389
00:36:42,609 --> 00:36:44,918
Goody, old Willow here...
390
00:36:46,009 --> 00:36:48,477
...he wants to go to Vietnam.
391
00:36:48,729 --> 00:36:51,801
He feels an infantryman's place
is at the front.
392
00:36:52,009 --> 00:36:53,886
There's no front in Vietnam.
393
00:36:54,129 --> 00:36:56,563
That's what Sergeant Hazard says.
394
00:36:56,809 --> 00:37:00,722
It's a funny little war, kid.
Things have changed.
395
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:02,920
Like what?
396
00:37:03,809 --> 00:37:05,208
Well, to begin with...
397
00:37:05,409 --> 00:37:10,802
...the peace-loving Vietnamese...
- If I hear that again, I'll puke.
398
00:37:11,009 --> 00:37:15,958
They're bellicose. They've fought for
a thousand years, and they like it.
399
00:37:16,169 --> 00:37:17,966
Damn right.
400
00:37:18,329 --> 00:37:22,959
And I don't really give a rat's ass
about Vietnam.
401
00:37:23,409 --> 00:37:28,005
Really, I don't give a wombat's shit
about who's running Vietnam.
402
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:31,918
To be very honest, I don't care
who's running the U.S.A.
403
00:37:32,129 --> 00:37:34,165
Don't you care about anything?
404
00:37:34,409 --> 00:37:39,005
Oh, yeah. I care about the
United States Army. That's my family.
405
00:37:39,289 --> 00:37:43,328
The only one I got. And I don't
like it when it's in trouble.
406
00:37:43,529 --> 00:37:45,724
Trouble? Sarge!
407
00:37:46,049 --> 00:37:49,928
We beat England when we were
the guerrillas, and we beat Hitler.
408
00:37:51,249 --> 00:37:53,160
We beat everybody in between.
409
00:37:53,369 --> 00:37:57,157
We're not gonna lose
to a bunch of little Asian farmers.
410
00:37:57,369 --> 00:38:00,247
Yeah? You take a look at that farmer.
411
00:38:00,449 --> 00:38:04,567
He can march 100 miles on no food,
through a jungle...
412
00:38:04,769 --> 00:38:08,557
...slaughter his own people,
even babies. That's a soldier.
413
00:38:08,769 --> 00:38:11,488
Firepower.
He can't soak up our firepower.
414
00:38:12,009 --> 00:38:16,321
I saw a photo, one of our choppers
coming back with arrows in it!
415
00:38:16,529 --> 00:38:19,839
How do you beat a helicopter
with bows and arrows?
416
00:38:20,049 --> 00:38:23,485
How you gonna beat an enemy
that fights with arrows?
417
00:38:24,129 --> 00:38:30,477
One thing's for sure. You can't beat
them from Fort-goddamned-Benning.
418
00:38:30,689 --> 00:38:33,601
What do you want, man?
What do you want?
419
00:38:33,809 --> 00:38:37,848
Don't like what I said?
Okay, look. We can discuss it outside.
420
00:38:38,049 --> 00:38:40,609
Why wait? We're standing here.
Come over.
421
00:38:40,809 --> 00:38:42,322
Well, let's go at it!
422
00:38:43,329 --> 00:38:46,321
Honour Guard. Hey, Flanagan!
423
00:38:48,369 --> 00:38:51,327
Well, here's to us, and those like us.
424
00:38:52,489 --> 00:38:54,002
Damn few left.
425
00:38:58,089 --> 00:39:00,887
Your kid is getting killed in there.
426
00:39:06,089 --> 00:39:10,765
Make a hole, make it wide!
Hey, get off that floor!
427
00:39:40,929 --> 00:39:42,920
Hey, wait up!
428
00:39:43,129 --> 00:39:48,647
- Peter, old salt! Get it? Saltpeter.
- Get up. Get it together.
429
00:39:49,129 --> 00:39:52,087
- I've been waiting for you, man.
- Oh, good.
430
00:39:52,289 --> 00:39:54,928
Captain Thomas wants to see you.
431
00:39:56,409 --> 00:39:59,526
- Let's put this on.
- Now?
432
00:40:00,529 --> 00:40:02,008
There you go.
433
00:40:04,049 --> 00:40:07,121
Reporting as ordered, sir.
You wanted to see me?
434
00:40:13,609 --> 00:40:15,520
Sit down.
435
00:40:23,969 --> 00:40:27,120
Your father had a cardiac arrest...
436
00:40:28,809 --> 00:40:31,323
...at 8:00.
437
00:40:35,009 --> 00:40:39,685
It was over very quickly,
so he didn't suffer very much.
438
00:40:41,369 --> 00:40:43,121
I'm sorry.
439
00:40:50,689 --> 00:40:53,726
We'll give you
a few minutes alone here, son.
440
00:40:58,729 --> 00:40:59,844
Willow...
441
00:41:00,089 --> 00:41:05,561
Dildo, Top, remember? Common mistake.
442
00:41:05,769 --> 00:41:08,442
Your daddy was a master sergeant.
443
00:41:08,689 --> 00:41:13,524
This is good for a week. You need
more time, you call me personal, hear?
444
00:41:32,009 --> 00:41:34,728
If I recollect...
445
00:41:37,929 --> 00:41:41,968
...this is the only one I got that
your dad doesn't already have...
446
00:41:42,169 --> 00:41:44,637
...so make sure that...
447
00:41:44,889 --> 00:41:47,722
Well, you put that with him, okay?
448
00:41:49,809 --> 00:41:51,606
Sarge, I...
449
00:41:56,009 --> 00:41:58,523
I've been thinking.
450
00:41:59,609 --> 00:42:02,965
Is it too late to get my father
into Arlington?
451
00:42:03,809 --> 00:42:08,166
Of course not. You know Goody.
He can fix anything.
452
00:42:08,409 --> 00:42:13,688
I know it'll just be a bare patch
with the bulldozers and everything...
453
00:42:13,889 --> 00:42:17,802
...but I was hoping you could find him
a spot in the garden.
454
00:42:18,209 --> 00:42:19,403
No problem.
455
00:42:41,209 --> 00:42:43,598
Forward, hut!
456
00:42:45,089 --> 00:42:50,607
The history of the 3rd U.S. Infantry
reflects the growth of our nation.
457
00:42:50,809 --> 00:42:53,960
In 1922, the War Department
granted permission...
458
00:42:54,169 --> 00:42:57,525
...to pass and review
with bayonets fixed.
459
00:42:57,809 --> 00:43:03,327
The Old Guard will now fix bayonets
to the traditional beat of the drum.
460
00:43:04,369 --> 00:43:06,121
One!
461
00:43:08,689 --> 00:43:10,281
Two!
462
00:43:13,329 --> 00:43:14,762
Three!
463
00:43:16,489 --> 00:43:18,286
Four!
464
00:43:19,529 --> 00:43:20,803
Five!
465
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:26,919
Ceremonial!
466
00:43:27,689 --> 00:43:29,725
At ease!
467
00:43:32,649 --> 00:43:34,719
Since the American Revolution...
468
00:43:34,929 --> 00:43:38,478
...the colours have been important
in a military unit.
469
00:43:38,689 --> 00:43:42,238
Soldiers kept their position
by dressing on the colour.
470
00:43:42,489 --> 00:43:45,879
At the centre here,
bearing the national colour...
471
00:43:46,369 --> 00:43:51,124
...is this nation's best colour team,
the 3rd Infantry's Colour Guard.
472
00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:53,968
Next on line is Company D.
473
00:43:54,169 --> 00:43:56,842
Company D is led by Captain Thomas.
474
00:43:57,729 --> 00:44:00,163
Following is Company E, Honour Guard.
475
00:44:00,409 --> 00:44:03,958
Company E is led by its commander,
Captain Harrison.
476
00:44:04,169 --> 00:44:07,161
Right, hut!
477
00:44:08,809 --> 00:44:12,119
The last on line,
in the musician's uniform...
478
00:44:12,369 --> 00:44:15,327
...is the Old Guard
Fife and Drum Corps.
479
00:44:15,929 --> 00:44:20,445
During the Revolution, Washington
ordered that musicians wear red...
480
00:44:20,649 --> 00:44:24,358
...instead of infantry blue
so they might be recognized...
481
00:44:24,569 --> 00:44:26,924
...through the smoke of battle.
482
00:44:27,569 --> 00:44:31,198
The Corps is led today
by Drum Major Phipps.
483
00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:37,728
I put Betty Rae
through the third degree.
484
00:44:37,969 --> 00:44:41,405
Is that right?
What secrets did she spill?
485
00:44:42,809 --> 00:44:47,519
That you were married. That you were
divorced about three years ago.
486
00:44:47,729 --> 00:44:51,165
- Yeah, that's true.
- That you have a son.
487
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:54,120
True.
488
00:44:55,769 --> 00:45:00,445
Linda left me when I re-upped
for my second tour.
489
00:45:00,649 --> 00:45:03,527
I haven't seen Mackie since.
490
00:45:04,209 --> 00:45:07,360
And through the years I really...
491
00:45:07,609 --> 00:45:10,362
...never did see that much of him.
492
00:45:13,129 --> 00:45:15,723
You said you were married.
Any children?
493
00:45:15,969 --> 00:45:18,802
No, I can't have children.
494
00:45:24,169 --> 00:45:27,127
I'm sorry about your family.
495
00:45:29,809 --> 00:45:32,528
They didn't come first, Sam.
496
00:45:32,809 --> 00:45:35,369
This is not...
497
00:45:35,609 --> 00:45:39,318
...a very good business
for holding on to a woman.
498
00:45:56,409 --> 00:46:00,925
If you don't come across, it's gonna
look bad for your whole unit.
499
00:46:23,609 --> 00:46:27,318
You may, however,
wait until we get inside.
500
00:46:41,929 --> 00:46:44,318
Get in here!
501
00:46:49,609 --> 00:46:52,681
Sergeant major.
Sergeant, you wanted to see me?
502
00:46:58,329 --> 00:46:59,921
You're out of uniform.
503
00:47:00,409 --> 00:47:04,118
- I am?
- Yeah, you are.
504
00:47:08,969 --> 00:47:14,327
You will remain out of uniform
until I slap these on you.
505
00:47:15,329 --> 00:47:18,127
Not bad for six months, huh?
506
00:47:18,529 --> 00:47:22,568
Now look, it seems that a certain
Sergeant Flanagan...
507
00:47:22,769 --> 00:47:26,284
...got drunk enough to trash up
Marge's beer emporium.
508
00:47:26,489 --> 00:47:30,198
- Cost himself a stripe in the process.
- The bear.
509
00:47:31,209 --> 00:47:37,159
We had to scrape the very bottom
of a barrel. The pits is what we got.
510
00:47:37,369 --> 00:47:41,123
By the way, these aren't official
until they're tagged.
511
00:47:41,329 --> 00:47:43,126
Tagged?
512
00:47:43,569 --> 00:47:46,925
You know, tagged, like "tagged,"
you know?
513
00:47:47,969 --> 00:47:52,167
Now I'll relinquish my spot to
our senior bear...
514
00:47:52,409 --> 00:47:54,081
...Sergeant Major Nelson.
515
00:47:56,009 --> 00:47:57,920
Oh, man.
516
00:48:05,809 --> 00:48:08,960
Now, look at him.
517
00:48:09,169 --> 00:48:10,807
He can hardly wait.
518
00:48:11,009 --> 00:48:12,647
He's starting to tremble.
519
00:48:14,809 --> 00:48:16,765
All yours, Top.
520
00:48:17,009 --> 00:48:19,079
Dildo.
521
00:48:20,289 --> 00:48:24,362
The only thing that's lower...
522
00:48:24,609 --> 00:48:29,729
...than a pig-fucking volunteer...
523
00:48:31,009 --> 00:48:36,367
...is a duck-fucking buck sergeant.
524
00:48:37,369 --> 00:48:41,328
- I didn't hit him square!
- That's it. One shot, that's all.
525
00:48:41,569 --> 00:48:46,165
Look... Come on, get off me!
L didn't hit him. Hey, Clell!
526
00:48:51,489 --> 00:48:52,763
- Hello.
- Hi, Jack.
527
00:48:53,009 --> 00:48:55,523
- Pleasure to see you again.
- You too.
528
00:48:55,769 --> 00:48:58,329
Clell's running a little late.
529
00:48:58,529 --> 00:49:03,922
So I'm doing the cooking tonight.
You're taking your chances.
530
00:49:04,409 --> 00:49:06,559
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
531
00:49:06,809 --> 00:49:08,527
Come on.
532
00:49:10,409 --> 00:49:12,127
Would you like a drink?
533
00:49:12,369 --> 00:49:15,327
- I wouldn't say no to a Coke.
- Okay.
534
00:49:20,809 --> 00:49:22,879
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
535
00:49:23,089 --> 00:49:25,125
- Can I help?
- Sure.
536
00:49:27,969 --> 00:49:30,358
Clell's told me a lot about you...
537
00:49:30,609 --> 00:49:32,725
...and your father.
538
00:49:33,289 --> 00:49:35,757
He and Clell were in combat together.
539
00:49:36,009 --> 00:49:38,125
Yeah, Korea.
540
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:43,325
Being in combat together,
people can get very close.
541
00:49:45,209 --> 00:49:48,519
- Sit down.
- Oh, thanks.
542
00:49:52,609 --> 00:49:58,445
My dad prized his CIB decoration.
That's his Combat Infantryman's Badge.
543
00:49:58,649 --> 00:50:03,928
That's a silver laurel wreath, blue
shield and a silver Kentucky rifle.
544
00:50:04,489 --> 00:50:07,003
If you're a soldier
and there's a war...
545
00:50:07,209 --> 00:50:10,599
...there's only one place to be.
No exceptions.
546
00:50:10,809 --> 00:50:13,528
I don't agree
with Sergeant Hazard on this.
547
00:50:13,729 --> 00:50:16,926
Working for The Post,
I imagine you do.
548
00:50:17,129 --> 00:50:18,323
Hardly.
549
00:50:18,529 --> 00:50:23,364
Clell sees this war as bad judgment,
a screwup.
550
00:50:23,609 --> 00:50:25,600
I see it as genocide.
551
00:50:28,369 --> 00:50:32,885
Well, goddamn it, why can't you
keep your opinions to yourself?
552
00:50:33,089 --> 00:50:36,445
Your views have reached
the other commanders!
553
00:50:36,649 --> 00:50:40,119
I didn't know it was against regs
to voice an opinion.
554
00:50:40,329 --> 00:50:43,924
Don't be a fool
and don't be a smart-ass!
555
00:50:44,289 --> 00:50:48,407
It's always been against regulations
to voice an opinion.
556
00:50:48,609 --> 00:50:52,522
The United States Army
is not interested in opinions!
557
00:50:52,809 --> 00:50:56,324
Goddamn it, what the hell
am I gonna do with you?
558
00:50:57,089 --> 00:50:59,125
You're a fine soldier, Clell.
559
00:50:59,329 --> 00:51:04,357
But you've been a pain in the ass
since the first day you got here!
560
00:51:04,609 --> 00:51:06,565
Now you're an embarrassment!
561
00:51:06,769 --> 00:51:10,284
My friends ask,
" How's my peacenik platoon sergeant?"
562
00:51:10,489 --> 00:51:12,719
I am not a peacenik, captain.
563
00:51:12,929 --> 00:51:16,080
I just don't agree
with this particular war.
564
00:51:16,289 --> 00:51:19,087
If we're gonna fight,
we should fight right.
565
00:51:19,289 --> 00:51:24,238
All right, think anything you want.
Just keep it to yourself!
566
00:51:25,449 --> 00:51:29,124
Maybe it was a mistake for you
to have asked for me here.
567
00:51:29,369 --> 00:51:32,759
And you could rectify that
by approving my transfer.
568
00:51:32,969 --> 00:51:35,563
No.
569
00:51:35,809 --> 00:51:38,767
You are not going to Fort Benning,
sergeant.
570
00:51:39,289 --> 00:51:42,804
You're not going anywhere.
You're gonna stay here...
571
00:51:43,009 --> 00:51:46,524
...and make me proud of you,
Sergeant Hazard!
572
00:51:52,929 --> 00:51:54,521
Tom?
573
00:51:54,729 --> 00:51:56,526
Thank you.
574
00:51:58,489 --> 00:52:01,526
But we got to get there on time,
all right?
575
00:52:01,769 --> 00:52:05,364
Don't get stuck in a cab again.
I'll see you there.
576
00:52:05,609 --> 00:52:08,442
- Give me the whole story.
- Yeah, over there.
577
00:52:08,649 --> 00:52:10,924
Come on, Stan.
578
00:52:12,369 --> 00:52:15,167
- Get back to me.
- Tell him to look at it.
579
00:52:15,409 --> 00:52:19,960
He'll be able to help with the story,
so it's important you get there.
580
00:52:20,209 --> 00:52:26,398
- What about the reception tonight?
- It's tomorrow, 7:30. We'll meet here.
581
00:52:26,649 --> 00:52:31,518
That'll give you time to get dolled up
and we can get there on time, 8:00.
582
00:52:32,209 --> 00:52:36,760
Sergeant's gonna show me where
they hide Persian rugs in this town.
583
00:52:37,209 --> 00:52:41,521
- I hope I didn't...
- Oh, no, work. Reception.
584
00:52:42,009 --> 00:52:46,321
And ambassadors, they like
their reporters dolled up, do they?
585
00:52:46,729 --> 00:52:48,924
Yeah, sometimes.
586
00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:55,126
These are very nice...
587
00:52:55,369 --> 00:52:58,008
- Yeah, let's go steal a rug.
- Right.
588
00:53:07,089 --> 00:53:10,161
What's bothering you, Clell? Tell me.
589
00:53:10,409 --> 00:53:13,924
Why do you want to leave
the Old Guard so badly?
590
00:53:15,209 --> 00:53:18,519
We're just a bunch
of toy soldiers, Sam.
591
00:53:20,289 --> 00:53:23,645
You don't believe in the war,
but if you transfer...
592
00:53:23,849 --> 00:53:27,125
...you'll be part of sending
these boys over.
593
00:53:27,409 --> 00:53:31,846
Yeah. I guess I should be there
where it really counts.
594
00:53:34,689 --> 00:53:39,922
I just can't watch
one more of those boys...
595
00:53:40,969 --> 00:53:45,326
- I guess it's just weakness.
- It's not weakness, Clell.
596
00:53:46,089 --> 00:53:51,641
Sam, my business
is a family business.
597
00:53:51,849 --> 00:53:55,683
If a building burns and you can't
carry all your children...
598
00:53:55,889 --> 00:53:59,848
...you damn well do what you can
and cry about it later.
599
00:54:07,609 --> 00:54:10,726
This is for you. It's an Ushak.
It's wonderful.
600
00:54:10,929 --> 00:54:12,408
It's pretty.
601
00:54:17,569 --> 00:54:21,323
Would you stand still for a minute?
Goddamn it, please!
602
00:54:21,609 --> 00:54:25,124
Look, Goody, I've been thinking.
603
00:54:28,209 --> 00:54:33,124
What's the chances of my platoon
playing aggressor team this year?
604
00:54:36,769 --> 00:54:38,361
Aggressor team?
605
00:54:38,609 --> 00:54:41,965
The guys that play Charlie
in the field and lose...
606
00:54:42,209 --> 00:54:47,124
...to the noble American forces? You
wanna volunteer for dipshit detail?
607
00:54:47,329 --> 00:54:50,685
- When you push that around, yeah.
- Make me believe it.
608
00:54:51,329 --> 00:54:56,357
Come on. I mean, half these kids are
gonna wind up in Nam, and I figure...
609
00:54:56,609 --> 00:55:00,727
...if I had them for two weeks,
I could show them something.
610
00:55:02,329 --> 00:55:05,366
Okay. Now tell me the real reason.
611
00:55:05,609 --> 00:55:07,804
That's it, pal. That's all I got.
612
00:55:08,009 --> 00:55:10,204
Can you swing it?
613
00:55:11,409 --> 00:55:14,526
In a word, no.
614
00:55:16,329 --> 00:55:18,524
Thanks, good dog.
615
00:55:26,209 --> 00:55:28,359
30 May 1968.
616
00:55:28,609 --> 00:55:30,088
Dearest Rachel:
617
00:55:30,289 --> 00:55:32,325
Still no answer from you.
618
00:55:32,529 --> 00:55:35,043
You said you were going
to forget me.
619
00:55:35,249 --> 00:55:38,764
Well, I can't forget you,
so I'll keep trying.
620
00:55:39,209 --> 00:55:41,325
We worked so hard last week.
621
00:55:41,529 --> 00:55:45,522
It was chaos in the garden.
That's what we call the cemetery.
622
00:55:45,729 --> 00:55:49,483
Delta pulled 20 drops a day.
That's what we call funerals.
623
00:55:49,689 --> 00:55:52,157
Sergeant Hazard,
who was in a foul mood...
624
00:55:52,369 --> 00:55:57,159
...argued that our workload proved his
point. We'll never finish them off.
625
00:55:57,369 --> 00:56:01,203
I told him to be happy
he's not in Vietnam's Honour Guard.
626
00:56:01,409 --> 00:56:05,322
We disagree on just about anything
connected with Vietnam.
627
00:56:05,529 --> 00:56:10,364
Hazard's girlfriend, Sam, got arrested
during a march on the Pentagon.
628
00:56:10,609 --> 00:56:13,726
She's nice to me,
but she's giving him fits.
629
00:56:13,969 --> 00:56:18,485
He doesn't like the war, but he likes
these protesters even less.
630
00:56:18,689 --> 00:56:21,886
I'm not sure whether you're
getting these letters.
631
00:56:22,089 --> 00:56:26,082
I'd give anything to hear from you,
Rachel. All my love...
632
00:56:26,289 --> 00:56:28,120
...Jackie.
633
00:56:40,769 --> 00:56:43,761
Hey, don't turn around now...
634
00:56:44,009 --> 00:56:48,525
...but the best-looking gal I've ever
seen has been staring at you.
635
00:56:48,729 --> 00:56:51,721
No shit. She's at 6:00.
Turn around real slow.
636
00:56:51,929 --> 00:56:53,920
A knockout broad.
637
00:56:54,689 --> 00:56:56,725
Where the hell did she go?
638
00:56:56,929 --> 00:57:01,127
- I'm serious. Check it out.
- Fix your blouse.
639
00:57:17,009 --> 00:57:20,319
Guards!
640
00:57:24,649 --> 00:57:26,719
Right face!
641
00:57:26,969 --> 00:57:31,281
- Pass, on your orders.
- Post and orders, remain as directed.
642
00:57:31,729 --> 00:57:34,368
- Orders acknowledged.
- Ready, hut!
643
00:57:34,609 --> 00:57:36,520
Rachel?
644
00:57:37,009 --> 00:57:39,762
- Jackie.
- What are you doing here?
645
00:57:40,009 --> 00:57:43,968
I was visiting Kennedy's grave.
I hadn't seen it yet.
646
00:57:44,209 --> 00:57:48,327
- What are you doing in Washington?
- My parents live here.
647
00:57:48,529 --> 00:57:51,123
- My dad's at the Pentagon.
- You too?
648
00:57:51,329 --> 00:57:56,164
I'm at school still. In Europe.
Germany. I'm just visiting.
649
00:57:56,409 --> 00:58:00,527
- You look great.
- Oh, thanks.
650
00:58:00,729 --> 00:58:03,721
Will you have dinner with me tonight?
651
00:58:03,929 --> 00:58:06,921
- I can't. I have a date.
- Break it.
652
00:58:07,609 --> 00:58:11,318
- I don't think it's such a good idea.
- Break the date.
653
00:58:14,409 --> 00:58:19,722
All right. 2218 M Street.
Georgetown. 8:00.
654
00:58:19,969 --> 00:58:22,119
Check.
655
00:58:24,169 --> 00:58:26,763
You are permitted
to assist the public.
656
00:58:27,009 --> 00:58:31,161
You're not permitted to kidnap anyone,
no matter the temptation.
657
00:58:31,409 --> 00:58:33,969
Sarge, I'd like you to meet Rachel Feld.
658
00:58:34,209 --> 00:58:37,645
- Rachel is an old friend of mine.
- Miss Feld.
659
00:58:37,889 --> 00:58:40,357
Pleased to meet you.
660
00:58:40,609 --> 00:58:43,919
I gotta go. See you later.
661
00:58:44,369 --> 00:58:46,963
- 2218?
- Yeah.
662
00:58:47,209 --> 00:58:50,565
- Wow.
- Yeah, wow!
663
00:58:50,809 --> 00:58:52,322
Okay, my boy.
664
00:58:52,569 --> 00:58:54,958
Sarge, I need to borrow $50.00.
665
00:58:55,209 --> 00:58:57,928
I'll pay you back payday.
666
00:59:00,169 --> 00:59:02,125
Payday?
667
00:59:12,209 --> 00:59:15,121
I need to borrow your car keys too.
668
00:59:17,809 --> 00:59:19,925
I'm so happy I dropped by.
669
00:59:20,129 --> 00:59:24,122
- Vietnam. Americans will
no longer allow its leaders...
670
00:59:25,569 --> 00:59:27,878
...political carte blanche.
- I love these.
671
00:59:28,049 --> 00:59:32,122
- You look nice also, as always.
- Thank you, Don.
672
00:59:32,609 --> 00:59:34,565
Excuse me.
673
00:59:34,809 --> 00:59:39,121
Don, this is Sergeant Clell Hazard.
Clell, this is Don Brubaker.
674
00:59:39,329 --> 00:59:41,365
Well, thank the Lord.
675
00:59:41,609 --> 00:59:44,919
Somebody going to tell me
what this war's about?
676
00:59:45,169 --> 00:59:48,445
Are we winning the war?
We kicking ass or what?
677
00:59:49,409 --> 00:59:53,448
Don's head of Attorneys
Against the War, so watch out.
678
00:59:53,809 --> 00:59:57,768
The kill ratio's 10-1.
Is that enough to keep you happy?
679
00:59:58,009 --> 01:00:03,481
Happy? No. I couldn't settle for less
than the hearts we're supposed to win.
680
01:00:04,009 --> 01:00:05,761
How are we doing?
681
01:00:06,009 --> 01:00:10,287
We? We really don't seem to be
doing much of anything.
682
01:00:10,529 --> 01:00:14,408
- We're too busy shooting our mouths off.
- It's still America.
683
01:00:14,609 --> 01:00:17,601
In my opinion,
we're killing innocents.
684
01:00:18,209 --> 01:00:19,961
Well, you see...
685
01:00:20,209 --> 01:00:25,329
...opinions, they're like assholes.
Everyone seems to have one. Come on.
686
01:00:25,529 --> 01:00:27,759
- What the hell...?
- He has no right...
687
01:00:28,009 --> 01:00:31,365
Yes, he does have a right
to talk about Vietnam.
688
01:00:31,609 --> 01:00:34,681
- Did you call me an asshole back there?
- There?
689
01:00:34,889 --> 01:00:37,722
I don't know.
Why don't you fuck off anyway.
690
01:00:37,969 --> 01:00:42,804
I'm not one of your little Nazis.
So let's move into the street.
691
01:00:43,009 --> 01:00:47,560
I've got a better idea. Let's agree
we don't like each other, right here.
692
01:00:47,809 --> 01:00:51,768
What's fighting words these days?
Chickenshit? Baby killer?
693
01:00:52,129 --> 01:00:54,404
Whip his ass, soldier!
694
01:00:58,169 --> 01:01:00,842
- Where are you going?
- Oh, my!
695
01:01:02,729 --> 01:01:04,367
- Somebody stop...
- No!
696
01:01:04,609 --> 01:01:06,645
Stop him!
697
01:01:07,969 --> 01:01:11,564
Somebody call an ambulance! Please!
698
01:01:11,809 --> 01:01:13,925
Fascist pig!
699
01:01:14,129 --> 01:01:16,927
Call an ambulance!
700
01:01:17,569 --> 01:01:19,525
Pig!
701
01:01:35,769 --> 01:01:40,559
- Firing. The men took cover
where they could.
702
01:01:40,809 --> 01:01:43,721
Pinned down by a sniper with...
703
01:01:43,969 --> 01:01:47,564
- Hi, Clell.
- Hi, Sam.
704
01:01:47,809 --> 01:01:50,448
I just talked with Don Brubaker.
705
01:01:50,649 --> 01:01:55,120
His jaw is wired,
so he wrote his part down.
706
01:01:55,329 --> 01:02:00,119
He says that he was drunk
and that he was an asshole.
707
01:02:00,449 --> 01:02:04,920
No doctor bills. No assault charges.
708
01:02:06,209 --> 01:02:08,723
Why would he say that?
709
01:02:09,329 --> 01:02:12,526
Turns out he's a decent guy.
710
01:02:13,009 --> 01:02:18,322
And decent people who make a mistake
realize it sooner or later.
711
01:02:22,009 --> 01:02:24,398
Hey. Come in. Sorry.
712
01:02:31,729 --> 01:02:34,527
You didn't have to persuade him?
713
01:02:34,769 --> 01:02:38,728
With his jaw wired and all,
he had to take a rain check.
714
01:02:44,009 --> 01:02:48,924
- I love you so much! I'm so worried!
- I love you.
715
01:02:51,369 --> 01:02:53,564
Jackie, I am so glad to see you.
716
01:02:53,809 --> 01:02:57,119
Nice to see you, Mrs. Feld.
You look wonderful.
717
01:02:57,729 --> 01:03:00,926
- How have you been?
- Very well.
718
01:03:01,409 --> 01:03:04,207
- Hello, Jack.
- Hello, colonel.
719
01:03:05,729 --> 01:03:09,358
Well, come in.
720
01:03:09,609 --> 01:03:10,803
Thank you, sir.
721
01:03:12,969 --> 01:03:15,927
Rachel tells me she was shocked
to see you.
722
01:03:16,129 --> 01:03:20,919
- It was quite a shock for me as well.
- Yeah, boy, I can imagine.
723
01:03:21,129 --> 01:03:25,327
- You haven't seen each other in a while.
- No, sir.
724
01:03:25,809 --> 01:03:28,721
- Rachel tell me you're a sergeant?
- Yes, sir.
725
01:03:28,969 --> 01:03:32,359
- You're with the Old Guard at Myer.
- That's correct.
726
01:03:32,609 --> 01:03:37,364
Well, that's a fine outfit
for the infantry.
727
01:03:39,009 --> 01:03:41,125
Yes, sir.
728
01:03:41,809 --> 01:03:45,119
You're still working in electronics
in Washington?
729
01:03:45,329 --> 01:03:50,528
Yes. I'm heading up a major
research and development project.
730
01:03:50,729 --> 01:03:53,289
- It's still very hush-hush.
- I see.
731
01:03:53,529 --> 01:03:57,920
I tell you, Jack,
this war is a boon to R&D.
732
01:03:58,129 --> 01:04:00,768
- L'm sure it is.
- Hi.
733
01:04:01,009 --> 01:04:04,684
I thought you were...
Had a date with young Peterson.
734
01:04:04,929 --> 01:04:08,126
How did you break it?
I find him persuasive.
735
01:04:08,369 --> 01:04:10,246
I managed.
736
01:04:14,209 --> 01:04:16,962
- Good night.
- Good night, now.
737
01:04:17,209 --> 01:04:19,165
Shall we?
738
01:04:19,409 --> 01:04:21,525
Bye.
739
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:26,919
- Good night, sergeant.
- Good evening, colonel.
740
01:04:38,329 --> 01:04:40,638
Your father hasn't changed much.
741
01:04:40,889 --> 01:04:44,120
He's the same SOB he always was.
742
01:04:44,369 --> 01:04:46,724
How's your father?
743
01:04:48,009 --> 01:04:51,524
My father died of a heart attack
last month.
744
01:04:54,129 --> 01:04:56,324
Oh, God.
745
01:04:58,609 --> 01:05:01,726
I liked your father very much.
746
01:05:02,169 --> 01:05:06,720
I know you did, Rachel.
He liked you a lot too.
747
01:05:06,969 --> 01:05:09,119
He really did.
748
01:05:20,209 --> 01:05:23,565
- Is this the cabernet?
- Yes, sir.
749
01:05:29,009 --> 01:05:33,241
So is the Army everything
you'd hoped it would be?
750
01:05:33,489 --> 01:05:35,525
Yes and no. Mostly yes.
751
01:05:35,769 --> 01:05:39,557
I'm waiting for OCS and Vietnam,
but I'll get them.
752
01:05:39,809 --> 01:05:41,606
You want to go to Vietnam?
753
01:05:42,209 --> 01:05:46,680
A soldier at the right place at the
right time can change the world.
754
01:05:50,409 --> 01:05:54,163
That's too bad.
I'd hoped you'd outgrown that.
755
01:05:54,369 --> 01:05:55,563
Damn you, Rachel.
756
01:05:56,009 --> 01:05:59,763
- Let's just make small talk.
- No, let's not!
757
01:06:00,009 --> 01:06:02,762
I don't care about Europe
or your friends!
758
01:06:03,009 --> 01:06:06,206
- Or if you've read any good books.
- It's safe.
759
01:06:06,449 --> 01:06:09,566
To hell with safe.
Do you feel anything for me?
760
01:06:09,809 --> 01:06:14,121
- Ask me that when you're a civilian.
- L'm asking you now.
761
01:06:18,009 --> 01:06:21,968
My father was afraid I was
going to marry beneath myself...
762
01:06:22,209 --> 01:06:24,165
...that it'd ruin his career.
763
01:06:24,409 --> 01:06:27,685
He lied about West Point
so you'd wait to marry me.
764
01:06:27,889 --> 01:06:32,405
Know what it means when a sergeant's
son marries a colonel's daughter?
765
01:06:32,609 --> 01:06:37,683
He had you conned. And you
believed him! That's what broke us up.
766
01:06:39,369 --> 01:06:41,724
You're so gullible.
767
01:06:45,569 --> 01:06:48,527
I loved you so much, Jack.
768
01:06:52,529 --> 01:06:55,327
You made your choice.
769
01:07:02,209 --> 01:07:05,519
Let's... You wanna leave?
770
01:07:06,809 --> 01:07:08,925
Yeah.
771
01:07:15,009 --> 01:07:18,319
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the drinks.
772
01:07:19,609 --> 01:07:20,883
No problem.
773
01:07:32,609 --> 01:07:36,124
- Sarge, it's Willow.
- Oh, great! What is it now?
774
01:07:36,329 --> 01:07:38,047
You've got all my money...
775
01:07:38,289 --> 01:07:40,439
...and my car.
Wanna borrow my dick?
776
01:07:40,689 --> 01:07:44,841
Stop hanging around the sergeant
major. Your language is awful.
777
01:07:45,089 --> 01:07:48,206
- Just give me the hook.
- I was wondering...
778
01:07:48,449 --> 01:07:51,964
...if I could borrow your apartment
or Miss Davis'.
779
01:07:55,009 --> 01:07:56,965
Okay. You take my place.
780
01:07:57,209 --> 01:07:59,723
I'll leave the key under the carpet.
781
01:07:59,969 --> 01:08:03,086
Thanks! I appreciate this.
I won't forget it.
782
01:08:05,609 --> 01:08:07,918
I got it.
783
01:08:09,009 --> 01:08:11,125
I just want to talk.
784
01:08:11,329 --> 01:08:13,923
Sure you do, hotshot.
785
01:08:23,769 --> 01:08:27,523
- Oh, you're still here.
- Yeah. Sorry, Jack...
786
01:08:27,729 --> 01:08:31,517
...just got the call. Full alert.
- Alert?!
787
01:08:31,929 --> 01:08:35,808
My guess is,
we're going on maneuvers.
788
01:08:36,009 --> 01:08:38,682
- Sorry, Miss Feld.
- It can't be! Not now!
789
01:08:38,929 --> 01:08:42,842
We were up at 0300!
We worked all day in the garden!
790
01:08:43,089 --> 01:08:44,568
- We're tired!
- Easy!
791
01:08:44,809 --> 01:08:47,369
Tell the chaplain in a couple weeks.
792
01:08:47,609 --> 01:08:50,567
I'll bet this is Goody Nelson's doing.
793
01:08:50,809 --> 01:08:54,722
- What's going on, Jack?
- Field exercises!
794
01:08:54,929 --> 01:08:57,318
I gotta talk to Rachel, Sarge!
795
01:08:57,529 --> 01:09:00,282
Five minutes. Come on in.
796
01:09:00,529 --> 01:09:02,918
You got me, five minutes?
797
01:09:04,609 --> 01:09:06,361
I told you...
798
01:09:06,609 --> 01:09:10,761
...that I want to marry you, Rachel.
No matter what.
799
01:09:11,009 --> 01:09:15,719
- You never told me that.
- I did. In all those letters I sent.
800
01:09:15,969 --> 01:09:19,564
I didn't open them.
801
01:09:19,809 --> 01:09:22,323
I wanted to forget you.
802
01:09:22,569 --> 01:09:26,357
If you want me out, I'll do it.
Tell me if there's hope.
803
01:09:26,609 --> 01:09:28,964
I've gotta know!
804
01:09:29,209 --> 01:09:33,122
The last thing I expected
was to see you this morning.
805
01:09:33,609 --> 01:09:36,521
- Was it only this morning?
- Let's go!
806
01:09:37,409 --> 01:09:40,526
Don't shut the door, please.
807
01:09:40,729 --> 01:09:45,325
- Damn it! Come on, boy!
- Rachel...
808
01:09:45,969 --> 01:09:48,927
...I love you.
- Damn!
809
01:09:59,729 --> 01:10:01,321
Come on.
810
01:10:01,529 --> 01:10:05,317
- Give me the key!
- What? Here!
811
01:10:08,809 --> 01:10:11,528
Red man four!
812
01:10:11,769 --> 01:10:15,523
Return to Battalion CP at once!
813
01:10:16,409 --> 01:10:17,728
Come home, please!
814
01:10:18,609 --> 01:10:21,442
Return to Battalion CP at once.
815
01:10:24,729 --> 01:10:29,120
Sergeant Hazard, can you hear me?
816
01:10:29,529 --> 01:10:33,522
Is this thing working? Red man four?
817
01:10:35,329 --> 01:10:38,127
From here on in,
you guys are Charlie.
818
01:10:38,329 --> 01:10:41,321
Glide through this,
don't clomp through it.
819
01:10:41,529 --> 01:10:43,963
Feel the terrain. Don't fight it.
820
01:10:44,209 --> 01:10:47,963
- Wildman, can you swim?
- The jungle is your friend.
821
01:10:48,209 --> 01:10:50,325
Use it. Let it help you.
822
01:10:50,569 --> 01:10:54,005
Love it. Love it and it will
love you back.
823
01:10:54,609 --> 01:10:57,521
Someday you're gonna meet
the real Charlie...
824
01:10:57,769 --> 01:10:59,168
...and when you do...
825
01:10:59,409 --> 01:11:04,039
...something from this may pop
into your mind and save your life.
826
01:11:48,369 --> 01:11:50,519
Hey, guys! What's going on?
827
01:11:50,769 --> 01:11:53,806
They took our stuff!
Charlie's been here!
828
01:11:55,569 --> 01:12:01,519
I don't know where the fuck I'm at!
Let's see if this shit works.
829
01:12:03,129 --> 01:12:04,847
That's not north. Shit!
830
01:12:05,929 --> 01:12:11,322
Red man four!
831
01:12:11,529 --> 01:12:15,522
Exercise is cancelled! Please confirm!
832
01:12:19,409 --> 01:12:22,719
Shit! What was that?
833
01:12:25,369 --> 01:12:30,124
Wildman, this piece of ground
is now wearing your brains.
834
01:12:30,409 --> 01:12:33,526
Frankly, they look better
on the ground.
835
01:12:34,609 --> 01:12:36,964
Tell me something. Did you ever...
836
01:12:37,209 --> 01:12:41,919
...stick your dick out
for anything once in your life?
837
01:12:42,169 --> 01:12:44,558
Mouth off to an officer? Something?
838
01:12:44,809 --> 01:12:47,528
No, sir, Sarge. That's not my way.
839
01:12:49,129 --> 01:12:52,121
Would that mean
I'm not a real man or...
840
01:12:53,609 --> 01:12:55,759
You're as real as anybody.
841
01:12:56,009 --> 01:13:00,924
Every man needs to feel good
about himself. Come on, Wildman.
842
01:13:16,729 --> 01:13:18,287
Over there!
843
01:13:27,809 --> 01:13:30,118
Good work, Jackie.
844
01:13:37,929 --> 01:13:40,489
Is he bucking for a Section Eight?
845
01:13:40,729 --> 01:13:43,448
Does he know the
embarrassment he's caused?!
846
01:13:43,649 --> 01:13:45,640
I'm sure he doesn't, sir.
847
01:13:45,889 --> 01:13:50,565
I've got observers watching one
platoon of VC chew our butt!
848
01:13:51,089 --> 01:13:56,243
You know what Godwin just said?
"It's not your fault. It's your ass!"
849
01:13:56,889 --> 01:13:58,447
Well...
850
01:14:02,729 --> 01:14:04,879
We're middle management, Homer.
851
01:14:05,129 --> 01:14:08,883
No, really.
We are the heart and soul of America.
852
01:14:09,129 --> 01:14:14,408
We keep the wheels turning while we get
ahead, while we watch our backsides.
853
01:14:15,329 --> 01:14:20,278
Neat trick. Takes up all of our time.
Clell hasn't ever learned that.
854
01:14:20,529 --> 01:14:23,646
Somebody needs to talk sincere
with the boy.
855
01:14:24,409 --> 01:14:28,641
Somebody needs to pull his guts out
through his asshole!
856
01:14:32,409 --> 01:14:36,800
The problem is, so far nobody
can find him, Goody!
857
01:15:01,289 --> 01:15:04,167
What the fuck is with you,
you psycho fuck?
858
01:15:04,409 --> 01:15:08,561
It's a death wish! A psycho fuck
pulling for a court-martial.
859
01:15:08,809 --> 01:15:11,960
What makes you God's gift
to infantry training?
860
01:15:12,209 --> 01:15:15,485
There's a guy in Benning.
You don't even know him!
861
01:15:15,729 --> 01:15:19,438
- What makes you the better man?!
- I just...
862
01:15:19,649 --> 01:15:22,038
...want to do what I can.
863
01:15:23,529 --> 01:15:27,488
Why don't you go back over there?
Take them out on patrol.
864
01:15:27,729 --> 01:15:32,041
Hold their fucking heads in your lap
while they bleed to death.
865
01:15:32,289 --> 01:15:36,123
I don't know much, but I know you
and you're losing.
866
01:15:47,089 --> 01:15:50,638
A few days ago this was
a bunch of half-assed kids.
867
01:15:50,849 --> 01:15:54,046
You gotta see now, Goody.
You gotta see.
868
01:15:55,529 --> 01:15:58,089
Give me 24 hours and I'll...
869
01:15:58,329 --> 01:16:04,438
...walk into HQ on my own
and that's a promise. I promise.
870
01:16:14,129 --> 01:16:18,486
Captain, your men are supposed to be
calling in an air strike.
871
01:16:18,729 --> 01:16:23,962
Instead they're playing with 35
rag-tail aggressors and getting killed!
872
01:16:24,169 --> 01:16:28,048
You've got choppers here.
I want an air strike. Understand?
873
01:16:28,289 --> 01:16:29,847
Yes, sir.
874
01:16:49,209 --> 01:16:53,088
Good evening, sir.
You have the right to remain silent.
875
01:17:06,289 --> 01:17:08,041
Get out of...
876
01:17:14,329 --> 01:17:16,479
Pretty funny.
877
01:17:16,729 --> 01:17:19,607
Pretty funny, sergeant!
878
01:17:20,609 --> 01:17:23,043
I guess I'm supposed to lose it.
879
01:17:23,409 --> 01:17:28,529
Bust you back about 15 stripes.
Ship you off someplace...
880
01:17:28,849 --> 01:17:33,718
...where you'll persuade your new
commander to transfer you to Benning!
881
01:17:33,929 --> 01:17:35,362
Is that it?
882
01:17:35,609 --> 01:17:37,167
Well, no way, sergeant.
883
01:17:38,209 --> 01:17:42,407
I can't afford to come off
a loser upstairs, or in any way.
884
01:17:43,129 --> 01:17:45,279
No, I'm gonna tell them...
885
01:17:45,529 --> 01:17:50,125
...you're the finest soldier
I ever trained. And in four days...
886
01:17:50,649 --> 01:17:55,120
...I showed them where to patch up
their outdated program!
887
01:17:55,329 --> 01:17:59,368
Think about that! You got plenty
of time to think about it.
888
01:17:59,569 --> 01:18:04,438
You're gonna be parading around
my post for the rest of your life!
889
01:18:08,249 --> 01:18:12,037
People love to see a real
war hero on parade.
890
01:18:14,649 --> 01:18:18,437
Left, left, right flank.
891
01:18:18,649 --> 01:18:22,324
Left. Left, right, left.
892
01:18:22,569 --> 01:18:24,480
Hut, two, three, four.
893
01:18:24,729 --> 01:18:26,765
Left, right, left.
894
01:18:27,009 --> 01:18:28,567
Come on, relax.
895
01:18:28,809 --> 01:18:30,640
Left, right, left.
896
01:18:30,849 --> 01:18:32,248
Left flank, march!
897
01:18:32,569 --> 01:18:34,161
- Sarge?
- Yeah.
898
01:18:34,409 --> 01:18:36,445
I gotta talk to you.
899
01:18:36,849 --> 01:18:41,639
I got Goody's lecture and I ain't
sure I can kick the shit out of him.
900
01:18:41,849 --> 01:18:46,445
- With all respect, he's full of shit.
- Respectfully full of shit.
901
01:18:46,689 --> 01:18:49,726
You put it on the line
for what you believe in.
902
01:18:49,969 --> 01:18:52,847
Everything else is old-guy stuff.
903
01:18:53,089 --> 01:18:55,080
Why Fort Benning, Sarge?
904
01:18:55,329 --> 01:18:58,878
You can train them until
you're blue in the face...
905
01:18:59,089 --> 01:19:02,286
...but over there,
they'll look for one guy.
906
01:19:02,529 --> 01:19:05,726
Their platoon sergeant. That's you.
907
01:19:05,929 --> 01:19:11,162
You know, I guess I ought to be real
thankful to you for pointing that out.
908
01:19:11,409 --> 01:19:13,445
Why don't you just face it?
909
01:19:13,649 --> 01:19:16,288
What story you wanna hear?
I got a lot.
910
01:19:16,529 --> 01:19:21,045
You wanna hear a story about a boy
I once loved? Like a son?
911
01:19:21,249 --> 01:19:24,844
Well, here's one. A boy I never knew.
912
01:19:25,049 --> 01:19:28,962
Until he was begging me
to stop the pain.
913
01:19:29,209 --> 01:19:31,769
Then he saw the parts
no longer in him...
914
01:19:32,009 --> 01:19:34,807
...and he begged me to push
them back inside.
915
01:19:35,009 --> 01:19:40,129
The last thing he begged me was to
find his daughter someday, in Ohio...
916
01:19:41,529 --> 01:19:45,966
...and tell her the last thing
he thought of was her dance recital.
917
01:19:46,209 --> 01:19:50,441
She was blond, his daughter,
and she was 5.
918
01:19:53,409 --> 01:19:58,529
And she was real, real beautiful in
her dance costume.
919
01:20:01,609 --> 01:20:06,478
I don't suppose there's any guys
you saved? Any of those stories?
920
01:20:07,449 --> 01:20:10,088
Called compromise,
you do what you can.
921
01:20:10,329 --> 01:20:14,288
Compromise is fine if it works!
Lying to yourself isn't.
922
01:20:14,529 --> 01:20:15,848
Listen!
923
01:20:16,049 --> 01:20:21,043
If I knew as much as you do about life
and what a fella's born to be...
924
01:20:21,249 --> 01:20:25,447
...I'd be one hell of a man, huh?
Just like you, son.
925
01:20:43,529 --> 01:20:46,839
Fifty-five miles south,
1st Cavalry troopers...
926
01:20:47,089 --> 01:20:50,764
...made their helicopter assault
on the coastal plain.
927
01:20:51,009 --> 01:20:54,684
And from the moment they
landed, they were in a fight.
928
01:20:54,929 --> 01:20:59,286
The 1st Cavalry assault was called
Operation Masher, here...
929
01:20:59,529 --> 01:21:03,044
...near a place called Lang Son
the enemy chose to...
930
01:21:03,289 --> 01:21:05,439
We're getting married.
931
01:21:09,489 --> 01:21:12,925
Well, I'm sorry, darling.
I can't let you do that.
932
01:21:13,929 --> 01:21:18,639
Some girls past the age of consent
would tell their dads to shove it!
933
01:21:22,249 --> 01:21:24,319
All you care about is your star!
934
01:21:24,529 --> 01:21:30,445
- Don't talk to me like that!
- I'll talk to you however I want, sir!
935
01:21:56,329 --> 01:21:59,048
Welcome to the Army, Mrs. Willow.
936
01:21:59,889 --> 01:22:02,642
Forward, hut!
937
01:22:13,169 --> 01:22:15,000
Let me take your picture.
938
01:22:36,849 --> 01:22:38,567
Not again.
939
01:22:38,809 --> 01:22:41,846
Rachel Feld, Army Digest.
940
01:22:53,809 --> 01:22:55,208
Thank you, sergeant.
941
01:22:55,409 --> 01:22:57,877
You look pretty. L love your dress.
942
01:22:58,089 --> 01:23:02,287
- You're a good dancer.
- Learned it all in the swamp.
943
01:23:04,009 --> 01:23:05,681
Smile, please!
944
01:23:07,889 --> 01:23:09,641
Better do something.
945
01:23:13,449 --> 01:23:16,043
A toast to the bride and the groom.
946
01:23:16,289 --> 01:23:19,838
- A long and happy life together.
- Long and happy life!
947
01:23:25,409 --> 01:23:27,001
To my new son.
948
01:23:29,089 --> 01:23:33,241
- To the bride and groom.
- Here's to us and those like us!
949
01:23:33,489 --> 01:23:35,366
- Damn few left!
- Oh, my God!
950
01:23:41,049 --> 01:23:43,040
Outstanding.
951
01:23:48,089 --> 01:23:49,647
Congratulations.
952
01:24:02,729 --> 01:24:04,845
Ride 'em, cowboy!
953
01:24:12,329 --> 01:24:14,001
Smile!
954
01:24:17,889 --> 01:24:19,800
Rachel, thank you.
955
01:24:21,729 --> 01:24:23,128
Thank you.
956
01:24:27,129 --> 01:24:31,839
- Don't smoke in bed, not tonight.
- Thanks, captain.
957
01:24:36,929 --> 01:24:39,841
- Drinks?
- Got you something.
958
01:24:44,249 --> 01:24:46,683
- All right!
- You have to earn those.
959
01:24:46,889 --> 01:24:49,198
Shouldn't be too tough, seeing as...
960
01:24:49,409 --> 01:24:52,082
...you start OCS in a couple weeks.
961
01:24:52,329 --> 01:24:56,447
You see Goody and I, we went
to Captain Thomas...
962
01:24:56,649 --> 01:24:58,879
...and we reasoned with him and...
963
01:24:59,129 --> 01:25:01,643
- I ate the bear.
- There you go.
964
01:25:10,609 --> 01:25:12,998
Why does he want to go to the OCS?
965
01:25:13,209 --> 01:25:17,043
I don't know why anybody wants
to be a second lieutenant.
966
01:25:17,249 --> 01:25:18,762
It's the pits!
967
01:25:40,209 --> 01:25:44,248
- Commander, keeping low. Requesting...
- Roger, this is...
968
01:25:45,529 --> 01:25:46,928
Hold your position.
969
01:25:57,929 --> 01:26:02,241
- We got a couple people hit here.
- Okay, let's get their gear.
970
01:26:04,849 --> 01:26:08,239
- Roger that. L'm on you.
- Let's get them and get out.
971
01:26:08,449 --> 01:26:12,840
We can't take anybody else.
Make sure that guy doesn't get on.
972
01:26:18,809 --> 01:26:20,640
Dear Sarge:
973
01:26:21,529 --> 01:26:25,841
Less than a month and I'll
be through Officer Candidate School.
974
01:26:26,249 --> 01:26:29,241
All anyone talks about is Vietnam.
975
01:26:29,529 --> 01:26:33,920
All we see and hear about
are demonstrations.
976
01:26:34,129 --> 01:26:39,044
This war seems to be tearing
us all apart. The whole country.
977
01:26:39,609 --> 01:26:43,363
Do you and Sam still argue
about it all the time?
978
01:26:43,929 --> 01:26:46,363
Remember she's a civilian, Sarge.
979
01:26:46,569 --> 01:26:49,845
There's no way for her
to really know that nobody...
980
01:26:50,049 --> 01:26:53,564
...hates this war more than those
who have to fight it.
981
01:26:53,809 --> 01:26:56,243
Best, Jackie.
982
01:26:58,449 --> 01:27:00,007
Rooney.
983
01:27:01,049 --> 01:27:02,641
Wildman.
984
01:27:05,129 --> 01:27:08,883
- Looks like they shipped you to Nam.
- Tough luck, buddy!
985
01:27:09,129 --> 01:27:12,121
- Flanagan!
- You too, Flanagan.
986
01:27:12,529 --> 01:27:14,042
Walters.
987
01:27:15,809 --> 01:27:19,961
Oh, shit! There goes the war.
Just when we had it in the bag.
988
01:27:20,209 --> 01:27:23,042
Wildman, kill a commie
for Christ, man.
989
01:27:29,449 --> 01:27:32,998
- The new lieutenant! Congratulations!
- Hi!
990
01:27:33,209 --> 01:27:35,040
Atten, hut!
991
01:27:35,249 --> 01:27:38,764
I think you're supposed to
return it or something.
992
01:27:39,009 --> 01:27:42,843
- As you were.
- You look like real soldiers to me.
993
01:27:43,089 --> 01:27:45,239
- Hi. How are you?
- Piece of cake.
994
01:27:45,449 --> 01:27:47,724
- Kid.
- How are you, Sarge?
995
01:27:49,529 --> 01:27:51,679
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
996
01:27:51,889 --> 01:27:57,043
Your bars look beautiful, Jackie.
Come on, have some champagne.
997
01:27:58,329 --> 01:28:00,081
Well?
998
01:28:02,729 --> 01:28:06,847
- There's something I've gotta say.
- Speech! It's your night.
999
01:28:07,089 --> 01:28:08,841
I'm shipping out.
1000
01:28:09,089 --> 01:28:13,082
Couple weeks you'll be getting
news from Quang Tin Province.
1001
01:28:13,329 --> 01:28:14,887
Congratulations, son.
1002
01:28:16,369 --> 01:28:20,442
- Not often the Army gets the right man.
- Thank you.
1003
01:28:22,649 --> 01:28:24,844
You okay with this, Sarge?
1004
01:28:26,049 --> 01:28:27,846
Yes, sir.
1005
01:28:28,889 --> 01:28:32,245
I'm just sorry that
I'm not going along.
1006
01:28:33,529 --> 01:28:37,238
Platoon sergeants never get
a Louie that can lead.
1007
01:28:37,729 --> 01:28:41,563
You'll make a lucky guy
an easy gig there.
1008
01:28:43,329 --> 01:28:46,639
Born to it, kid. Born to be.
1009
01:28:47,729 --> 01:28:50,960
Well, then here's to us,
and those like us.
1010
01:28:54,529 --> 01:28:56,440
Damn few left.
1011
01:29:00,089 --> 01:29:04,719
- Well, come on! Let's make a party.
- To Jackie and Rachel.
1012
01:29:05,649 --> 01:29:11,042
This is chop-2. I got Thorbear here,
took two rounds in the chest.
1013
01:29:11,449 --> 01:29:16,318
- Roger that.
- He's got one round in the right arm.
1014
01:29:16,569 --> 01:29:21,245
Roger that. What's gonna be
the ETA back to dust-off?
1015
01:29:25,929 --> 01:29:30,047
This is, call five, I'm right behind
Coast Call. Check the area...
1016
01:29:32,929 --> 01:29:36,205
Is it cleared out down there?
Is it secure?
1017
01:29:36,409 --> 01:29:41,039
Roger, we have it for
a few minutes, come on in.
1018
01:29:45,329 --> 01:29:48,241
- You seen the latest Army Digest?
- No.
1019
01:29:48,449 --> 01:29:51,282
Guess who won the Medal of Honour...
1020
01:29:51,529 --> 01:29:54,248
...for actions in Vietnam.
- Who's that?
1021
01:29:54,449 --> 01:29:56,963
Guess who saved his buddies' asses?
1022
01:29:57,209 --> 01:30:01,088
Guess who took a whole army
of bad guys single-handedly?
1023
01:30:01,329 --> 01:30:03,843
Who, for chrissakes, Goody?
1024
01:30:04,049 --> 01:30:06,643
- Wildman.
- Wildman?
1025
01:30:09,289 --> 01:30:14,682
South Vietnam's national police chief
killed a man who was carrying a gun.
1026
01:30:14,929 --> 01:30:18,638
This was taken as evidence
he was a Viet Cong officer.
1027
01:30:18,849 --> 01:30:24,446
The police chief put a bullet in his
brain. He's still the chief of police.
1028
01:30:25,329 --> 01:30:28,480
Cao Lang's streets
were swept by gunfire for days...
1029
01:30:28,729 --> 01:30:33,439
...and the people of Cao Lang were
swept back and forth, bewildered.
1030
01:30:37,449 --> 01:30:39,963
Tell me you're happier than you look.
1031
01:30:40,209 --> 01:30:43,884
And if you're gonna lie,
would you do it better?
1032
01:30:44,129 --> 01:30:46,768
The year's up.
1033
01:30:46,969 --> 01:30:50,678
You lived through it, he's
coming home in three weeks.
1034
01:30:52,689 --> 01:30:56,284
Bonnie Fowler's man
came home different.
1035
01:30:56,809 --> 01:30:59,084
Apparently...
1036
01:30:59,329 --> 01:31:03,641
...he'd written her all these
sweet letters while...
1037
01:31:03,849 --> 01:31:09,048
...at the same time, he was writing his
mother he wanted to get a divorce...
1038
01:31:09,249 --> 01:31:12,446
...and they've got a
2-year-old baby girl.
1039
01:31:16,489 --> 01:31:19,287
Men come home crazy...
1040
01:31:19,529 --> 01:31:22,441
...and broken and cold.
1041
01:31:26,449 --> 01:31:28,041
But...
1042
01:31:28,249 --> 01:31:31,844
...that's not my Jackie.
- No, it's not.
1043
01:31:33,929 --> 01:31:37,638
- So I'm gonna be fine.
- Yeah.
1044
01:31:45,849 --> 01:31:49,637
- Rachel's a great cook, isn't she?
- The best.
1045
01:31:49,849 --> 01:31:54,639
I caught her calling the restaurant.
"Send up the beef stroganoff".
1046
01:31:55,929 --> 01:31:59,080
- Are you kidding?
- That's flattering.
1047
01:31:59,329 --> 01:32:02,685
- I'm kidding, honey, it was wonderful.
- Thank you.
1048
01:32:04,489 --> 01:32:08,243
So how's Jackie?
You heard from him lately?
1049
01:32:08,489 --> 01:32:11,845
Yeah, I got the letter...
1050
01:32:12,649 --> 01:32:17,564
- Honey, would you like to...?
- No. Just read it. You read it.
1051
01:32:20,929 --> 01:32:26,447
" Dear Sarge, hard to believe it's only
a year. Feels like my whole life...
1052
01:32:26,689 --> 01:32:29,044
...10 lifetimes really.
1053
01:32:30,249 --> 01:32:32,683
Hard to believe I'll see you soon.
1054
01:32:32,929 --> 01:32:39,243
Hell, it's hard to believe you even
exist. Any of you. Even Rach.
1055
01:32:41,689 --> 01:32:47,685
It's hard to believe she still loves
me, that there's any love anywhere.
1056
01:32:47,929 --> 01:32:50,363
Her letters are so beautiful...
1057
01:32:50,569 --> 01:32:54,960
...and I want to believe so much.
I just want to hold her...
1058
01:32:55,209 --> 01:32:59,043
...just hold her,
and I'll be all right".
1059
01:33:01,929 --> 01:33:06,844
I've learned so much, Sarge. I've
learned I can't protect these kids.
1060
01:33:07,049 --> 01:33:11,884
It's my duty to protect them and I
can't. There's many things to tell you.
1061
01:33:12,089 --> 01:33:17,083
All my life, I knew I'd live and die
in the Army. Just something I knew.
1062
01:33:17,329 --> 01:33:21,686
But after this, I don't know
anything anymore. We'll sit down.
1063
01:33:22,329 --> 01:33:25,401
We'll talk. You'll get me straight.
1064
01:33:26,329 --> 01:33:28,797
- Come in!
- Sergeant major...
1065
01:33:30,409 --> 01:33:32,843
...it's Sergeant Hazard, he's...
1066
01:34:01,489 --> 01:34:03,241
Sam?
1067
01:34:04,209 --> 01:34:07,645
- Jackie Willow...
- I know.
1068
01:34:14,289 --> 01:34:16,086
Goody called.
1069
01:34:16,329 --> 01:34:18,843
He wanted a CIB.
1070
01:34:21,489 --> 01:34:25,084
Combat Infantryman's Badge.
He wanted it more than anything.
1071
01:34:25,329 --> 01:34:28,241
You know, most kids his age...
1072
01:34:30,129 --> 01:34:33,963
...they want a promotion to
vice president of sales...
1073
01:34:34,209 --> 01:34:36,279
...bachelor pad...
1074
01:34:36,529 --> 01:34:38,838
...hi-fi built in...
1075
01:34:39,729 --> 01:34:42,641
...a fucking sports car! Something!
1076
01:34:45,289 --> 01:34:47,245
Not him. CIB.
1077
01:34:49,849 --> 01:34:53,842
I tried to...
I tried to slow him down...
1078
01:34:54,609 --> 01:34:58,045
...just make him less
in a lather to get there.
1079
01:34:58,249 --> 01:35:01,161
I tried to tell him.
Goody tried too.
1080
01:35:02,329 --> 01:35:06,447
- We weren't very convincing.
- Don't blame yourself, Clell.
1081
01:35:08,129 --> 01:35:12,998
I thought I could do it from here.
If they wouldn't give me Benning...
1082
01:35:13,209 --> 01:35:16,360
...then I'd teach them here.
I'm Sergeant Hazard.
1083
01:35:16,609 --> 01:35:18,247
I'm the...
1084
01:35:19,329 --> 01:35:20,762
...boot-tough old vet.
1085
01:35:20,969 --> 01:35:25,884
- Oh, stop it, Clell.
- "Listen, boys, I'll pull you through".
1086
01:35:26,129 --> 01:35:29,280
What a sorry goddamn excuse
for a man I am.
1087
01:35:29,529 --> 01:35:34,045
- Don't do this to yourself, Clell.
- I can't help it, Sam.
1088
01:35:34,289 --> 01:35:37,884
You know, but then I thought...
1089
01:35:38,129 --> 01:35:41,087
...if I can't help them all, then...
1090
01:35:41,329 --> 01:35:46,449
...what if I just help one.
If I just take one...
1091
01:35:48,209 --> 01:35:50,848
...boy. Just one...
1092
01:35:54,329 --> 01:35:56,638
Jackie, just...
1093
01:36:03,129 --> 01:36:05,324
Where can you do it, Clell?
1094
01:36:06,609 --> 01:36:11,399
If you can't do it at this Fort
Benning place, where can you do it?
1095
01:36:15,089 --> 01:36:18,286
- Could you do it there?
- Where?
1096
01:36:18,529 --> 01:36:21,441
Don't make me say that place.
1097
01:36:22,609 --> 01:36:27,637
Okay, honey, there is as good
a place as any. That's...
1098
01:36:27,849 --> 01:36:29,760
...where it really counts.
1099
01:36:36,329 --> 01:36:39,446
I don't want you to go anywhere.
1100
01:36:39,649 --> 01:36:43,119
But it's your decision, not mine.
1101
01:36:43,369 --> 01:36:45,246
What happens to us?
1102
01:36:45,449 --> 01:36:48,043
I mean, when I'm on this...
1103
01:36:50,649 --> 01:36:55,404
...mercy mission, you ride into the
sunset with a guy like Don Brubaker.
1104
01:36:55,609 --> 01:36:59,568
I don't ride off into the sunset
with anyone, Clell.
1105
01:36:59,809 --> 01:37:03,882
I sit in this apartment,
scared to death, and I wait.
1106
01:37:04,929 --> 01:37:09,241
It don't square though.
L mean, your feelings about the war.
1107
01:37:11,329 --> 01:37:14,446
My feelings about the war
haven't changed.
1108
01:37:14,649 --> 01:37:17,447
I'll do everything I can
to stop the war.
1109
01:37:17,649 --> 01:37:22,245
I'll march and I'll carry signs
and I'll pester congressmen.
1110
01:37:22,449 --> 01:37:26,488
And if you consider that a knife
in the back, so be it.
1111
01:37:26,729 --> 01:37:29,960
You've got your job to do...
1112
01:37:30,209 --> 01:37:31,927
...I've got mine.
1113
01:37:39,929 --> 01:37:44,445
There's another question.
If I were to do this...
1114
01:37:45,889 --> 01:37:47,163
...honey...
1115
01:37:48,529 --> 01:37:53,842
...would you marry me
before I shipped out? Please?
1116
01:37:58,209 --> 01:38:00,040
Yes.
1117
01:38:00,889 --> 01:38:03,767
- You would?
- Yes.
1118
01:38:05,649 --> 01:38:07,640
I love you.
1119
01:38:07,889 --> 01:38:10,642
I love you too.
1120
01:39:23,289 --> 01:39:26,122
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
1121
01:39:26,329 --> 01:39:28,479
Let's bury this guy
and get on the bus.
1122
01:39:28,689 --> 01:39:31,726
- Better get out of here. My feet...
- Shut up!
1123
01:39:32,929 --> 01:39:35,045
What are you looking at?
1124
01:39:36,809 --> 01:39:40,040
Guidon. Atten, hut!
1125
01:39:48,609 --> 01:39:52,158
Rest, hut.
Atten, hut!
1126
01:40:35,289 --> 01:40:39,043
Parade, rest!
1127
01:40:45,849 --> 01:40:49,842
Here this spot is the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier.
1128
01:40:50,529 --> 01:40:53,248
On the stone it says:
1129
01:40:55,609 --> 01:40:58,248
" Here rests in honoured glory...
1130
01:40:58,729 --> 01:41:02,085
...an American soldier
known but to God".
1131
01:41:02,289 --> 01:41:07,761
They tell me there may be
no unknown soldiers in Vietnam.
1132
01:41:08,929 --> 01:41:10,840
Seems...
1133
01:41:11,609 --> 01:41:13,645
...we can account...
1134
01:41:15,609 --> 01:41:17,645
...for all their bodies.
1135
01:41:18,729 --> 01:41:20,447
We've...
1136
01:41:22,329 --> 01:41:25,844
...gotten a lot better
at identifying them.
1137
01:41:26,089 --> 01:41:31,561
I just wonder if we're
getting better at knowing them.
1138
01:41:33,529 --> 01:41:35,167
Here will rest...
1139
01:41:35,369 --> 01:41:41,717
...deserved of glory, an American
soldier known but to an honoured few.
1140
01:41:44,089 --> 01:41:46,239
I know him.
1141
01:41:50,849 --> 01:41:55,479
- I won't forget.
- Guidon. Atten, hut!
1142
01:41:55,729 --> 01:41:59,085
Escort! Ten, hut!
1143
01:41:59,289 --> 01:42:02,645
Please stand for the rendering
of military honours.
1144
01:42:08,889 --> 01:42:12,848
Firing party, fire three volleys.
1145
01:42:13,049 --> 01:42:16,439
Stand by. Ready.
1146
01:42:18,089 --> 01:42:21,843
Ready, aim, fire!
1147
01:42:22,049 --> 01:42:25,166
Ready, aim, fire!
1148
01:42:26,329 --> 01:42:30,038
Ready, aim, fire!
1149
01:42:31,849 --> 01:42:33,885
You may be seated now.
1150
01:42:35,049 --> 01:42:37,165
Order, hut!
1151
01:42:42,649 --> 01:42:44,685
Colours ready, hut.
1152
01:42:45,129 --> 01:42:49,247
Parade, parade, hut!
1153
01:42:57,889 --> 01:43:01,928
On behalf of the president of the
United States, accept this flag...
1154
01:43:02,129 --> 01:43:05,644
...in recognition of your loved one's
faithful service.
1155
01:46:44,409 --> 01:46:46,161
Left, right, left.
1156
01:46:46,409 --> 01:46:49,242
Left, left, right, left.
1157
01:46:49,449 --> 01:46:52,247
Left, left, right, left.
1158
01:46:52,449 --> 01:46:56,158
Left, left flank, march!
1159
01:46:56,409 --> 01:46:58,081
Left. Dress it up, dress it up.
1160
01:46:58,329 --> 01:47:02,288
Left, right, left.
Left foot, Rossman! Left.
1161
01:47:02,529 --> 01:47:05,043
