Yeah.

Okay.

I'll pull you a captain

and get you in the game.

We have a captain, sir.

You have a captain

with no combat experience.

He's never been to war.

He's only led you in training.

He's already been

bumped up to staff.

This is a career wrecker.

You understand that, right?

Well, all due respect,

I've spent two years

with that fellow

leadin' our team.

If you think furthering

his career is why he joined,

you need to get to know

your captain, sir.

As you were.

- Sorry about the desk.

- No, no. It's a good kill.

Besides, you're not gonna

need it where you're going.

Special Forces

doesn't have thermals?

Army wasn't expecting this.

Yeah.

Well, that makes two of us.

You tell him. I'm not doing

your dirty work for you.

Marsha.

I'll love you

when you get back.

Hey, buddy.

Leaving?

Yeah, I gotta go.

How long?

Don't know.

Hey.

You know I love you, right?

Wow.

Made it all the way

to the oven, huh, babe?

Some wives cry, I clean.

Hey, uh,

I was thinking...

You're gonna have

all the time in the world

to clean that oven

once I'm gone.

And I'm kind of running

out of time. So...

Yeah, and I bet I know

just how you wanna spend it.

I mean, I have two hours.

I'll be really quick.

- Super quick.

- Uh-huh, yeah, not a chance.

Holding out is the only way

I can guarantee

you come back to me.

- Please?

- Mmm-mmm.

- Just the tip.

- Mmm-mmm.

- Okay, you know what?

- Mmm-hmm.

War's gonna be over so quick.

It's gonna be over

in like a week.

I promise.

Go wake up the kids.

Spend the time with them.

I know what I signed up for.

They don't.

Don't wish for what

you don't want.

You were on a flight

to New York two months ago.

You don't have

to justify it to me.

I'm a soldier's wife.

And I've been lucky.

All I've had

to worry about so far

is malaria

and chopper crashes.

Most dangerous part's

the ride in and out.

Not anymore.

I don't care

how long you're gone

as long as you come back.

You understand?

Yeah, I do.

Then say you're coming home.

I can't, baby.

It's bad luck.

I need to hear you say it.

I'm comin' home.

Hey, ODA 595.

Where do we bunk?

Uh, you see

those Quonset huts?

Those are for the teams.

ODA numbers

are on the door, sir.

Don't salute in country.

Are you trying to get

our captain killed, bro?

These are all friendlies.

Oh, yeah?

Who, that guy?

That's not my friend.

And that guy's

definitely not my friend.

F***ing Diller, bro.

I could be their friend.

He looks nice.

That guy?

Yeah.

Heads up. Heads up.

What's up, guys? Looks like

Christmas came early, huh?

Oh, yeah. Ho, ho, ho.

Where have you guys been?

Oh, we went to

a f***ing Nickelback concert.
