I didn't feeI like sticking my head

down to someone with a gun.

And yes, it was touch and go.

But in my worId you do what you do.

If you have the strength not to shoot -

- because you reaIise that the

movement is not that of a weapon -

- but a surrender or whatever ... lf

you have the strength to realise this -

- you don't shoot, of course,

but had I been there -

- l would aIso have fired, and

I did fire, because I wasn't sure.

That was enough for me.

I think it's hard for peopIe at home

to understand how ...

- How the decision is made?

- How you can just take a Iife.

You have to be here

to understand it.

This place is whacked, after aII.

It's a f***ed-up country.

No doubt about it.

People who understand

the war itseIf -

- and how you and l and others feeI

about being here -

- and making a difference,

those people wiII understand us.

Outsiders might sneer

and say that we're insane -

- or that we did something terribIe.

I know l did the right thing.

I know we aII did the right thing.

In case you don't know, I was

questioned by MPs this morning -

- regarding our case with the snitch.

So far it's 'a matter of rumor' -

- which they'II try to quash

at battalion Ievel.

So if you hear anything,

then dismiss it as a rumor -

- because that's what it is.

So it's just a lot of hot air.

It may come back to haunt us -

- but it is a Iot of hot air

without any truth in it.

AIright?

That's it.

Good day.

I have a few things to say today.

First of aII -

- l'd Iike to award SiIver and GoId

Horses for our recent engagement.

The first two are Joe and OIby.

Joe and OIby did something that

others might feeI differently about.

These guys did it. Five

TaIiban were firing at the platoon.

Our guys stormed them with

a hand grenade and neutraIized them.

This takes courage,

and I'm proud of you.

I'm awarding you the GoId Horse,

and you both deserve it.

We'II see if it leads to more.

Damn fine job.

CongratuIations.

WeII deserved.

And one for you, Joe.

CongratuIations.

You deserve it. Give them a hand.

What does it say ...?

Smith is a part-time transvestite -

- and a fuII-time idiot.

Deep thoughts ...

- Not a Iot of deep stuff here.

- The deepest was painted over.

The guys were a bit pissed about that.

Of course there was a lot of sh*t -

- but there's also stuff which ...

Which was quite cooI to read.

And it wouId be cool to see

your own stuff, if you came back.

''In the North I know the fairest Iand.

My peopIe, my home, my native Iand.''

''Denmark.''

That was quite poetic.

WELCOME HOME:

Thanks for your efforts ...
