For God's sake,

Corpsman!

Where's my "A" gunner?

Sergeant Kovic

here to see you, sir.

Stand easy, sergeant.

Yeah, Kovic,

the lieutenant told me

that was

a pretty rough time.

Yes, sir.

It was pretty bad.

Ran into a few

of them?

Yes, sir.

You want to see me

about something, Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

Like I said to the captain,

uh, sir...

it was a very

confusing day.

The villagers...

Yeah. I know about

the villagers, Sergeant.

They...

the villagers...

It was very,

very unfortunate.

The enemy used

the villagers as cover.

Yes, sir.

They popped up,

started firing.

We were

running back, sir.

It was real glary.

Very confusing,

and that's when

it happened, sir.

What happened?

Sir, that was when

Wilson was killed, sir.

Yeah, I know

about Wilson.

Sir, see...

he was

the last one out,

and that's when

it happened, sir.

Sir, I think

I might...

I might have

killed him, sir.

I don't think so.

He was coming up

over the dune.

I think I might

have killed him.

It's hard.

I was out a couple

of weeks ago.

Sometimes it's... very hard

to tell what's happening.

Yes, sir.

But, sir, I think

I killed Wilson.

I don't think so, Kovic.

But, sir, I want you

to know that...

Don't talk like that!

Don't tell me this sh*t.

I'll take your head off.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

That clear?

Yes, sir!

All right.

Carry on.

X.O. Ought to

court-martial his ass.

Sergeant K.

Get some sugar

in the blood.

Ain't no thing, dog.

Ain't nothing

but a thing, baby.

It's so hot out here, I want

to kill some motherfucking gooks.

Dog, you're sounding

like a b*tch, man.

Ain't nothing

but a thing.

Nothing but a thing.

It's so hot out

in this motherf***er,

this must be hell!

Or purgatory.

Where's the motherfucking devil at?

Take cover!

Take cover!

Take cover!

Snake 1-9er airborne,

Be advised machine guns

now approaching

at your 12. Over.

No. No, people!

Move forward!

Move forward!

Gun up! Gun up!

2! 2! 2-Alpha!

Contact! Contact!

Heavy incoming

from both tree lines. Over.

Uhh!

Uhh!

Son of a b*tch!

Aah!

Aah!

F***, man!

Uhh.

Aah!

Aah!

F***!

Son of a b*tch!

2-Actual!

Heavy incoming

from the ville!

I'm in trouble!

2, 2, Charlie,

be advised

there's more of them.

We see two squads

moving in

from the left

tree line.

Aah!

I'm in trouble

out here!

I'm in trouble out here!

2, Echo-6!

Get out of that ville!

Get out of that ville!

They're going to

cut you off! Get out!

I need everything

you got!

We're going down!

We're going down!

I can't hold this b*tch!

Hold it, goddamn it!

Pull up! Pull up!

Aah!

Goddamn it!

God damn it!

Corpsmen...

Corpsmen...

Corpsmen... Corpsmen.

Goddamn!

Motherfuckers!

Goddamn motherfuckers!

Motherf***er!

Goddamn!

Motherfuckers!

F***ers!

We got six

sucking chest wounds

and 12 crispy critters

coming in!

Zap him with 250 mils

of happy juice

until he crashes out.

Just get him to sleep.

Open table!

Who's got a hot one?

What do we have?

His kidney

and liver are gone.

We better just kiss

this one goodbye.

All right, take off.

There's something

wrong with me.
