We'll run into some small patrols.
Maybe one joker, maybe two, maybe three.
But whatever happens,
we don't want them to find out...
we're just a small rearguard
holding a delaying action.
- Rearguard? That's us?
- Yep.
What is this rearguard?
The object of the rearguard is to
check enemy pursuit and harassment...
and thus allow the main body
to retire unmolested.
- Hey, what did he say?
- He said rearguard.
That how you got those two stripes,
Denno, memorizing the book?
All right, you guys,
knock it off..
Remember, the man on his belly
out here looks like snow.
A man standing up
looks like a man.
Easy.
The minute they spot us, they'll hit us and run.
They won't take any chances hanging around.
We got to make a lot of noise.
We got to sound like a regiment.
Hey, look what I found-
dry socks.
I smell more people,
real close.
Fix bayonets.
You heard the man.
Fix your knife.
Okay, you guys,
spread out and dig for money.
If you don't see anything,
shoot anyway.
Denno, that'll be
your hole. Dig.
A little to the right.
Hold on. Not yet.
That's it. You've got him
balled in the center.
Squeeze the trigger.
Take up the slack.
Now, Denno. In the head.
Shoot, Denno.
Shoot him. Shoot.
Why can't I kill a man? What's the matter
with me? Why do I freeze at a single target?
I can fire at a lot of them. I can do
anything the rest of the platoon can do.
I'm not chicken.
I've got plenty of guts.
But why can't I shoot a man?
What's wrong with me?
I've got to shoot him.
Squeeze, Denno, squeeze.
Congratulations, Denno.
Now you've joined the big fraternity.
That was a perfect bull's-eye.
All you got to remember is you're not
aiming at a man. You're aiming at the enemy.
Once you're over that hump, you're
a rifleman. And you've been baptized.
It'll be a lot easier
from now on. Like spittin'.
How are you laying
the antitank mines, Wolowicz?
Crazy quilt pattern,
Lieutenant.
Planting them
way out to that bush.
And the antipersonnel mines?
Lazy-daisy, sir,
covering this whole area...
and both flanks.
All you got to do is
breathe on them and boom!
The guys better be careful
moving around, Lieutenant.
- Make a map of this minefield
and be sure and give it to me.
- Yes, sir.
Lonergan.
- Sir?
- How many people up there?
Nothing, Lieutenant.
- Vogl, do you see them?
- Nothing, sir.
Lonergan, come on down and get these guys
on the ball. I'm checking on the minefield.
We got troubles up here,
Lieutenant.
- Commies?
- Sergeant Rock.
- What's the beef?
- Planting the 75.
Coming up.
This is one of the times it ain't funny,
knowing what to do.
Toughest rap for an officer,
