The Siege of Firebase Gloria Page #5

---

Anyone know

who these belong to?

This is Corporal Miller.

He's dead.

Hell the whole

gun crew's dead.

And to add insult to injury,

Charlie took the Fifty f***ing

caliber machinegun with him.

I don't any respect

for Corporal Miller anymore

Because he allowed

his group to relax.

They let their guard down

for five f***ing minutes.

And Charlie took

advantage of it.

Look at 'em

God damn it!

Pay attention.

Stay alert.

Stay alive.

It's as simple as that.

All right. Move back

to the secondary.

Get back!

Get the f*** back!

Gaines! Get over here.

Take the Fifty!

I'm goin' out on the flank.

Murphy!

Murphy!

With me!

Go!

Polly. . .

C'mon!

C'mon!

Yeah!

Fightin' first the cavalry.

Ya-hoe. Ya-hoe.

Fightin' first the cavalry,

Higher it goes, the shootings free.

We might prevail, we save the day.

Yahoe, yahoe, yahoe.

Suicide mission, yes to me.

Ya-hoe. Ya-hoe.

Ain't that fun!?

Yeah right! All right!

Hey!

Hey, c'mon in!

Now, let's get f***in' hot!

I'll be right...

Pee Wee!

Pee Wee!

Pee. . .

Out-f***in'-standing.

How ya doin', Champ?

Out of luck.

I can't feel nothin'.

Don't worry.

We'll medevac you out.

You'll be in Saigon in no time.

I bet.

Bill?

Yeah, yeah Nard.

I'm here, man.

Do me.

Do me, now.

Get the hell outta

here, Flanagan.

You ain't needed.

No...

I said, get the f***

outta here, right now.

No.

Don't. . .

I can't.

Goddamn it.

We had a deal.

I ain't going

home like this.

That f***ing deal

was for me, man.

You do it, now.

Do it!

Remember the kids

who sit damn straight. . .

Ah-ha. . .

Remember the kids who. . .

Oh, yeah.

Laid out the jewels. . .

Taped it to their heads. . .

To lace this goddamn broad

and his f***in' pain.

I lost a lot of good men at Gloria.

But then, so did the Dong Nai.

The Air Cav shot them up all the

way back to the Phu Loi river.

In the four months of the Tet Offensive,

Charlie lost 55,000 men.

After that, the Vietcong ceased to

exist as an independent fighting force.

And Hanoi took control of their war.

DiNardo,

Joseph L.

Corporal.

United States Marine Corps.

End of the story, Nard.
