is their enemy, not the Germans.
Well, they know the U.S. Army.
But the Krauts haven't done
anything to them yet.
Very sophisticated.
Well, at least they know the U.S. Army.
You can twist it any way you want.
But the point is. . .
. . .you are their main enemy.
And when the time comes,
you'll be the number one target.
something in common.
What do you mean?
They've come a long way individually,
further than we have a right to expect.
But not as a unit. Not as a group.
They've gotta function as a team.
And that's what's lacking.
on guard duty will help?
Well, it might give them
a sense of participation.
Why don't you let me weed out
the real morons? Especially Maggott.
I didn't pick these men, the Army did.
And I didn't pick the assignment either.
This is one time the Army's going
with a starting lineup all the way.
-Including Maggott?
-Including Maggott.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-We could get ourselves hurt, right?
-Why don't you shut up, huh?
What's the matter?
You planning to save your mother?
Why don't you lay off?
Want me to show you
how to do it, huh?
All right.
Take my arm, put it around your neck.
Very simple, right?
And then it's all in the leverage.
Better learn how to fall.
You'll end up in a wheelchair.
That's what I tried to tell him.
Trouble is you just don't know
how to fall right. Here.
Slob. Ah, that's a bad attitude.
Kind of rough on the little fella,
aren't you? Like to try that with me?
Now, this is really quite simple.
I'm going to say a word,
and you come back at me. . .
. . .as fast as you can
For instance, if I were to say
"happiness," you might say "children. "
I wouldn't say that.
Well, that was just an example.
But if I said "ambition,"
what would you say?
I wouldn't say anything.
Well, let's give it a try, okay?
-Weapon.
-Baseball.
-Knife.
-Dodgers.
-Officer.
-Pitcher.
You seem to be thinking about
just one thing, aren't you?
Yeah. What are you thinking about?
Well, you see, I don't want you
to think of just one thing.
I'd like for you to concentrate
on each word I throw at you. Okay?
Okay.
Food.
Cincinnati.
-Comfort.
-Chicago.
-Now, what made you say that?
-That's what I was thinking about.
The hell with it!
Franko, what is it this time?
How am I supposed to shave
in cold water?!
You're in the field now.
Where are you gonna get hot water?
The guards got hot water!
You got hot water!
-You're in the field!
-That's tough.
Right. How come you guys have
hot water and we don't?
You keep quiet!
You keep your big mouth shut.
-We ain't shaving in cold water!
-Not if all you don't.
You want us to shave in cold water?
Why don't you?
-That's right.
-Yeah!
Franko means it.
We ain't shaving. We ain't washing.
Not in cold water!
-Is that right?
-That's right!
The guards got hot, we won't use cold.
And you can't make us!
You're gonna get yourself
into hot water, Franko.
What are you gonna do?
You gonna hang us?
What can they do?
They can't do nothing!
-Nothing.
-Now what are you gonna do?
You know, I think Franko
might be right this time.
Yeah, shaving in cold water
won't make us any better soldiers.
Excuse me, sir.
We got some trouble outside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear.
-All right, sergeant. Fall them in.
-Yes, sir.
All right, fall in. On your feet!
Come on, right over here, Posey!
Come on! Dress it up there. Get in line!
What's this about refusing to shave?
Who is refusing to shave?
-We are!
-Who is we?
We!
take one step forward.
So you want to stink, huh?
And maybe itch too?
Well, that's okay with me
because I don't have to smell you.
Sergeant, there will be no further
issue of shaving equipment. . .
. . .or the use of soap.
And there will be no more hot meals.
Just K rations.
Courtesy of Mr. Franko.
At ease.
-Hey, I really think we got something.
-Yeah, it's what the Navy calls "mutiny. "
No, no. Remember what I was saying
last night about 12 rugged individualists?
So?
You heard them. It was "we ain't gonna
do this and we ain't gonna do that. "
When I asked them to step forward,
even Posey joined.
I'll bet you he's been shaving
in cold water since he was a kid.
Boy, do I love that Franko.
That means that we are going to have
that much more time for work.
Right?
So now, if you. . . .
You "dirty dozen" have no objections. . .
. . .we will get our equipment. . .
. . .and we will start in right now.
Attention!
Ready, hut!
That's very good.
You look just like real soldiers.
Fall out!
Now, move it!
You're still the dirtiest soldiers
in this man's army. . .
. . .and you're getting
filthier every day.
But your training is almost over.
In two days, you'll be learning
how to jump with a parachute. . .
. . .and you'll learn quick.
This training will take place
at a regular Army base.
And I just want to remind you
that this operation is secret.
Top secret.
You will not be wearing dog tags.
You will not say anything to anyone.
Do you understand? Nothing.
Nothing!
One word, one slip
from any one of you. . .
. . .and the deal is off!
And you all know what that means,
right?
All right, serve it up.
All right, serve it up!
Colonel Breed won't like this secrecy bit.
He'll want to know.
-We're still top-priority, aren't we?
-You can't ignore his author--
-Do we have the juice?
-Yes, but Colonel Br--
Then I don't care
Look, you're supposed to be
the liaison officer.
I want you to get orders
to the highest echelon. . .
. . .stating to Colonel Everett
Dasher Breed. . .
. . .that a group, over which he will have
no authority, will be arriving Tuesday. . .
. . .and the identity of the men is secret.
Tell him we got a general with them. . .
. . .tell him anything you want, just get
that West Point bum off of my back.
A general, huh?
I'll see what I can do.
-I know you will.
-Hey, Franko. What is it, man?
-What kind of food is that?
-Pig face, serve it up!
What is it?
I don't know. I never ate
anything like this before.
I've stepped in it a couple of times,
but I never ate it.
What is it?
Did you ask what general?
Yes, sir. Got the same thing again.
No information beyond
what was in the order.
When we first called, his extension
was busy. Now he's not there.
Not now.
-Well, what about you?
-Nothing, sir.
Not now, you. . . .
I think they're coming.
Yeah, it's them.
Yes? Sir, they just passed
the checkpoint.
Let's go.
Now. Now!
Sounds like we're running
into a party.
Boy, you don't suppose
it's for us, do you?
Present arms!
Major Reisman reporting, sir.
Where's the general?
He's in the truck. But you understand
that he's traveling incognito.
We thought he might care to inspect
our number one platoon.
If you give me a moment,
I'll see if he's willing to do that.
