OF THE REAL THING.

NOW, I KNOW

IT'S SCARY AS HELL.

BUT BE GRATEFUL YOU GO A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE IT.

BECAUSE AS BRILLIANTLY

AS I CAN TRAIN YOU,

I CANNOT TOTALLY PREPARE YOU

FOR THE UNEXPECTED,

EXCEPT TO WARN YOU

THE UNEXPECTED:

WILL KILL YOU.

SIR?

COMING AT A ROOKIE

HEAD-ON--

YOU HAD THE POOR BASTARD

PISSIN' IN HIS PANTS.

SIR, I UTILIZED

ENEMY TACTICS:

IN AN EFFOR TO DESTROY MY OPPONENT.

THOSE ARE THE ORDERS

YOU GAVE ME, SIR.

BUT IT'S AN EXERCISE,

CAPTAIN.

I DO WHAT YOU:

TRAINED ME TO DO.

I FIGHT TO WIN.

EDDIE, THIS IS

FIGHTER WEAPONS SCHOOL.

IT IS NO REAL AIR COMBAT.

YOU GOT TO PULL BACK.

THE KID WANTS TO FILE

A FORMAL COMPLAINT,

SAYS YOU:

ALMOST KILLED HIM.

NOW, I KNOW

YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT PILOT.

JUST HOW CLOSE WERE YOU?

THERE WAS NO DANGER.

OK. I'LL TALK TO HIM.

BUT YOU BETTER BE

MORE CAREFUL.

WE'RE ALL ON

THE SAME SIDE HERE.

THEN, SIR, WHO'S THE ENEMY?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

NOTHING. SIR, I'LL BE

OFF THE BASE FOR A FEW DAYS.

GOT PLANS:

FOR THE WEEKEND?

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

AH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

CAPTAIN.

UH, THANK YOU, SIR.

HUNTING IN QUITE A WHILE,

YOU BEING SO BUSY.

MAYBE THIS SEASON.

THANKS, DAD.

IT'S REALLY GOOD.

THANKS.

Man on TV:
I DON'T WAN THAT DISEASE IN MY BLOOD.

I DON'T WANT IT IN MY MIND,

POLLUTING MY MIND,

MAKING ME DO THINGS

THAT ARE WRONG.

I NEED TO BE SET FREE.

I NEED TO BE DELIVERED.

I SAY TO THE LORD,

"LORD, BRING PEACE

INTO MY BODY.

BRING PEACE INTO EVERY CELL

OF MY BODY."

BUT SIN--SIN IS COMING.

THE PROPHETS TELL US.
