I tried.

I've tried everything I could.

What do you want me to do?

- Change the.

Put me in your unit.

- I can not do. Too late for that.

I'm not.

I can manage.

The order is just gone.

Colonel Owens has this place closed.

Captain Angelo has all MPs deployed.

Jesus Christ,

how old is this soldier outfit?

Somebody help me with the ammunition.

Lieutenant Chambers.

I'm Captain Angelo.

- Good to meet you, sir.

Good to have you aboard.

- Thank you.

This is First Sergeant Wells.

Glad you're here, sir.

I assume that everything

the army standards?

More or less, sir.

We do have few men.

- We've got to deal with.

We take him with them on vacation.

A little trip or something.

We must make the best

these last months.

The army will not spoil.

- It's not just leave.

If you leave now, and it is war,

then the desert.

And if I help you,

I am there because I am a deserter help.

I try to do the right thing.

Owens said I had to get the f***ing.

I need your help now.

- Sir, look at this one.

Who are they?

- Lieutenant Sefton and his specialist Reyes.

Sefton is the one that you're replacing.

What happens if you get caught? Prison?

- Better here than in Iraq.

What are you two doing here?

Reyes told me that his

compassionate reassignment is rejected. Why?

Leave us alone Reyes.

- Yes, sir.

We need him.

- What did you really have?

I said we had about his

compassionate reassignment.

Now he is sent, he asks

if I want to help some family problems.

You know what really bothers me?

After three years serving in this

unit, you can just leave.

It is a duty to lieutenants information

to report on a possible desertion.

If you are aware and are not reported,

you will be prosecuted to the UCMJ.

Because the Alpha Company prepares for

war may be imprisonment.

Is that clear?

Danny, I want you to get acquainted with

Lieutenant Chambers, your replacement.

He was just in time.

If you hear anything about Reyes,

let us know.

Colonel Owens.

Do you have a minute?

What else would you want anything else, Lieutenant?

Sir, what happened to

the compassionate reassignment of Reyes?

I have the best available medic

needed for the fight.

And that I have now.

- Sir, and the second diagnosis then?

This would have been if another decision

I had a medic with the same qualities.

But I have not, end of story.

He deserves to be here to stay behind.

Well sorry about you're not a medic.

Then had you and Reyes

place may change.

How did you end up with this unit?

Inactive Ready Reserve.

I made my time in

active service but ...

I had a few years

well with my contract.

So she stopped me at the IRR.

They call you only

with a national emergency but ...

I think Uncle Sam

too little is capable officers.

So they decided me back

to the desert to send.

We're glad you're here, Alec.

Thank you sir, I appreciate that.

So you train

one weekend a month for this?

I'm already two months in the

stamping them to get ready.

And before we were called after 9-11.

Helping at Ground Zero.

What happens with Sefton?

That's a selfish bastard

and we are better off without him.

He was transferred to another unit.

A unit that does not get used?

- That's right.

Why is he still here?

- Danny wanted help with loading.

We have too few people so I

him in charge ...

on goods convoy to

the Nurnburg Airbase tonight.

Those guys demolish morale.

Danny was one of

the best lieutenants in the battalion.

He was my right hand at Ground Zero.

We worked with the FDNY,

body parts get out of the ruins.

Breathed that sh*t just as well in

like the rest of us.

Danny kept nagging at the battalion

until we all had masks.

Months before the others had.

I still think he's an a**hole.

I do not trust him near Reyes.

You might consider Reyes MP under supervision

turn until we leave tomorrow.

He feels wronged.

Would be a flight risk.

That's a good idea, sir.

- That's enough, Sergeant.

Reyes is a loyal soldier.

I treat him as a deserter.

Roger that, sir.

Sir, now he is still ...

I want as much time with

Sefton spend as possible.

I'm probably the oldest

ex-soldier of the company ...

I want it as soon as possible

all about learning.

That is reasonable.

What Owen said when you asked

to General Parker to speak?

They said it was his decision.

- Drop it.

Sorry Rey.

Did that bastard Morelli

My DVD player has already returned?

I'm going to check it for you.

- Gonzo, what now?

Come on, let's get you out of here.

F*** you.

- Sit down.

Do you have any more ideas?

Alfa will be stationed

in the center of Sadr City.

And this area is blood link.

There is a cleric, al-Sadr who hates us.

I heard.

- Marines reported 30 percent casualties.

30 Percent, where did you get that?

IEDs. I heard the explosion

so strong that the guys ...

the legs of which blown off

also lost their dick.

Why do you care

the dick of those men?

Were you planning to suck them off

when they get back?

Stay focused. Okay, now we have the

on important activities.

Why do not you tell us not actually

on the important activities.

Can I help you, sir?

The stock list for the first

squad for the convoy.

Carroll, important activities?

I need to talk to you.

- Sure, what is it?

Can you come with me, sir?

What do we do?

- It's good.

Bullshit.

Inside.

Sir, please.

- Reyes, I can not.

Listen to what I have to say.

- If I do that I must report.

You said it would work.

- Angelo saw us today.

After all I've done for his

reinstatement, he thinks that I'm helping.

You have not helped.

You have your transfer ...

and Reyes can f***ing get.

Calm down man.

You're my last option.

You must help me to get away

with the supply convoy, right?

I've done everything to let you relocate.

- What if we do not ask?

Sergeant Harts consultations on

ten minutes past.

You can verify that he is looking for us.

What do you think he'll like? You, with us.

And then I tell him how helpful you

this was to escape to prepare.

So you let us pick?

- Bullshit.

We all are all f***ed.

It can not be worse.

But Hart brings you directly

to Captain Angelo.

And then you're dead.

- Hey, stop that.

Are you trying to blackmail me?

- You have more to lose than we do.

Everything is closed once we're outside.

The army does not like him.

Nothing works at Sefton.

They can send him to Iraq.

I bet your father also

out of jail has.

I told you that I am placed.

- Look, man ...

We do not Ivy League degree,

but we are not idiots.

We know what you did.

Everyone knows that.

Dad is doing some important work for the state.

Has connections in Albany.

Put a little pressure on General Park.

Who will be appointed?

And there you go.

Back to your job at Wall Street.

- So what's it gonna be?

Will you do the right thing and help Reyes?

Or let him down as you

done with the whole company?

What if you had been in my position?

Then you had done exactly the same.

We are in your position?
