He's now in command of the 2nd Battalion.
I've served with Huxley
off and on for years.
If there's one man who can build
a fighting battalion, you're looking at him.
- Mac.
- Yes, sir.
- Take charge. Get them squared away.
- Yes, sir.
Bob, get them bedded down.
Left face!
Arms, huh!
Forward, huh!
Rest easy. The smoking lamp's lit.
I called you men together because
I know we're all thinking the same thing.
These new boys we're getting...
...they may look like Marines
and talk like Marines...
...but we know the truth.
In other words, we've got problems.
We've also got a war on our hands.
Now, we all have buddies on wait
in the Philippines and Shanghai.
It's gonna be a long road back.
And we can't get back without them.
You know I'm going to train them...
...so that every private in this battalion
can take command if he has to.
The only way I can do that
is with your help.
Thank you. That will be all.
The man said he wanted communicators,
and I said he'd have them.
Every minute they weren't in the field,
I had them at the practice table.
Inside three weeks, they could read code
in their sleep. And probably did.
Come on, snap out of it.
What, you got the blues?
This place gives me the creeps on Sunday.
Forget about it, Danny.
Monkey with a broad, you wind up
on the short end of the stick.
- None of them are worth it.
- Save the advice, chaplain.
Thought I'd give the benefit of my experience.
I want to be there when you fall
for some nice girl.
A broad ain't been made yet
that'll make old Andy fall.
- Let's go ashore and get out of this hole.
- Good idea.
We're going on liberty.
I gotta finish ironing these shirts.
Ski, they've got a town out here
full of beautiful tomatoes.
You ain't been on liberty since we've been in the Corps.
I got a chance to pick up extra bucks pressing.
I've gotta save my dough to get Susan out here.
If it's a dame you want out here,
I'll lend you the dough.
Thanks anyway, but I don't want no charity.
It's your life.
Eat your heart out, feather merchant,
eat your heart out.
I'll murder Mac and Huxley.
They got no respect for communicators.
That lousy Mac had me shoveling garbage again today.
Me! I'm writing my congressman.
Me and the Corps have split the blanket.
That's Navajo for finished, done.
That's right. Huxley's trying to kill us.
Ten straight 15-mile hikes.
You know what they call this outfit?
"Huxley's Harlots."
And if we ain't hiking, we're getting
dit-happy on that signal key.
Maybe I should learn Mac how to use smoke signals.
What's Crazy Horse beefing about?
He says he's a son of a Indian chief,
