because of something
that you did?
I mean we love you, buddy.
Right now, you...
But what if somebody
else comes home?
- I'll be fine.
What?
I need to do this.
I have to be there for him.
I gave him my word.
- I know.
I know.
- I'm gonna do it.
It's just a matter of
now, or in eight months.
- What?
This country is worth defending.
- Oh.
That's what he's doing, huh?
Do you remember how
messed up you were
when you came back?
Have you forgotten that?
You know, you have
to tell him, okay?
At the very least,
you have to tell him.
- Alright.
- Dedicated it to you.
I ran 2,000 yards.
I'm sorry.
I miss you.
- Up in there.
Got this.
Ah, rookie.
Listen, Ben.
I don't like to
talk about this, but
when I was drafted,
they put me in a
helicopter and they told me
wasn't wearing green.
I did.
To this day, I don't know
You need to make
your own decisions.
Before you pull the trigger,
you need to be able to
look yourself in the mirror,
and say why you're doin' it.
And that you believe in it.
- It's f***ing weird,
not playing this season.
- Yeah, it's bullshit,
coach won't let you play.
- Nah.
I understand.
I mean, I'm not gonna be here
for half the games anyway.
Wrong of me to even
try out like that.
- Yeah, why didn't you wait
'til after after
basketball season?
- I don't know.
I guess I just didn't
think about it.
But in the scheme of things,
what's more important?
Couple high school
basketball games, or the war?
- You were gettin'
looks from colleges.
- Easy decision, bro.
Easy decision.
- Your mom still bein' a
b*tch about that paperwork?
I mean one way or another,
I turn 18 in August.
- I know, man.
It's not your fault.
We're gonna kick
some f***ing ass.
Shoot the f***ing ball.
- So um, you, you
know, watch out for yourself.
- I will.
- Take care of yourself, really.
- I will, I will
- okay.
- Okay.
- Alright.
- Say goodbye, sweetie.
- I'll see ya, buddy.
You take care of her.
Got it?
We'll write to you.
- Perfect.
- Come here.
You come back.
Okay?
We got a tradition to
maintain every summer.
- You know I will.
- I'm gonna miss you.
- Thanks, man.
See ya, buddy.
- Hey Ben!
It's five months, man!
Five months 'til you graduate.
- F***!
- Benny, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Look, if you want to
yell, then go ahead.
We understand that you're mad,
and you have a right to be.
You can be mad.
- And what's there
to be mad about?
'Cause you won't let me
be there for my friend?
Won't let me serve my country?
- Okay, we will.
As much as it kills us to
or worse, we're prepared
to sign the papers
when you graduate.
- I'll do whatever you want.
- You continue to
apply to colleges,
and you seriously
think about the ROTC.
- Done.
- This hurts us, but
we don't want to
stand in your way.
You know, we just
wanna make sure
that you really
thought this through.
- Hello?
- Hey, Josh!
- Tim!
- Hey, buddy!
- You want to
talk to my brother Benny?
- Yes, that would be awesome.
- Ben, Tim's on the phone.
Ben, Tim's on the phone.
- Hey, man!
- Say Ben, what's up?
- Same sh*t, man.
How's boot camp?
- F***in' sucks!
But I crushed it, bro.
Thank god it's family day.
Feels like I haven't
slept in 53 days.
- Oh yeah, not that
you're counting, right?
- Oh and dude?
The f***ing guys down
here, they are scary.
One of 'em asked me who
I told him it was the king
of all native Americans.
- Your picture looks
really good there, Josh.
- Hey!

- Oh, hey guys.
How are you?
- Good.
How are you?

Say, Ben!
- Hey.
Nice hat.
- Alright, f*** you.
It's cold up here.
- What's up, man?
- What's goin' on?
Your dad said I'd
catch you here, man.
Yeah, I got a few days of leave,
and then I f***ing deploy.
- Damn, that's quick.
- Yeah.
Some unit had a group
of guys get in trouble
a few months back,
so they got no choice
but to take me and a
few others from SOI.
But hey, sure beats
sittin' in my barracks
listen to the other guy in
my rack beat off above me.
- Oh, f***.
- It's cool, he never
lasts that long.
- What?
Some ROTC recruiter
guy came by the school
and a bunch of guys signed
that letter of interest thing.
- Yeah, a bunch of pussies
need a back-up plan
'cause they're soft.
Tryin' to get
something out of it.
So what's goin' on
since I've been gone?
- Teachers, they don't
know what to do with us.
Nobody does their
homework, and you know.
- Homework?
That's so weird.
- Yeah.
Everybody's already gotten
into college, you know?
- Yeah, where's everyone goin'?
- Well your ex got rejected.
- Good.
She's a f***ing whore.
- Okay.
Bobby Lachey's goin' to Harvard.
- Smart bastard.
- Joe is goin' to Westfield.
- Of course he's
goin' to Westfield.
His grandfather went there,
his father went there,
his f***ing kids are
gonna go to Westfield.
Sh*t.
- Yeah.
I got in.
Got a scholarship, too.
- Okay.
What does that mean?
- Nothin'.
I mean that was
the deal, you know?
I apply to college, my
dad sign the papers.
Three more months
'til I graduate.
- Yeah, I better get going.
Mom's making Shepherd's pie.
I'll see ya.
- Dig a little hole.
Let's go, form up,.
Okay, we're
approaching our target.
Everybody watch your sectors.
We're gonna move in
a wedge formation
to the south side
of that mountain.
Let's head out.
- Take cover!
Cover me!
- Take cover! Go!
- In position! Move!
- Oh f***.
Oh sh*t.

Esty!
- If you were a chick,
you'd have a pretty nice ass.
- Hey esty, how
long you been back there
thinkin' about that?
- Heh, for the last five miles.
- Sounds like four
and a half miles too long.
You know what?
Go ahead and put that
on the list of sh*t
you can't say to me anymore.
- Aye-aye, sergeant.
- Ben,.
Ben, Ben.
I love you.
It's alright.
- This is bullshit.
