One of my people got killed.

That's all that happened today.

You knew that man wasn't going to

slack off because he was short.

You knew that brother

was going do his job.

Then why didn't you put him on profile.

Because...he is one healthy individual.

l've got people in this f***ing platoon

who are so sick they wouldn't be allowed in the hospital.

But out here they have to

ruck up, move out and press on.

lt don't mean nothing, man.

lt don't mean nothing...

Come on, man...

You owe it to yourself...yourself.
