Men in War Page #4

If you got to take

relief, take it moving.

Keep your safety off and your finger

on the trigger, so if they jump you,...

your gun will fire.

It's gonna be a real

live party, isn't it?

Look Montana, I'm in command here.

I don't want any more of

your decisions. Good or bad.

From now on, you don't talk,

you don't fire, you don't spit...

without my permission.

Alright sir.

- Got a cigarette Davis?

- Yeah.

- Montana gets under your skin, don't it?

- He's another gun.

Maybe. With his gun around

I feel safer. He's smart.

He's reckless and irresponsible.

That kind's gonna win us this war

lieutenant. Not you and me.

No, he fights alone,

he'll die alone.

I heard the noise.

If you don't recognize the noise fire at

you, you don't have to see him to kill him.

Go ahead sarge, they're all yours.

Go ahead man, they

are dead pigeons.

Any money you find, you can keep.

Any cigarettes or

candy, they're mine.

Can I drive the jeep now?

No.

I know your trouble. You

figured it wrong, didn't you?

You pulled me back to get knocked

off, only I didn't get knocked off.

Disappointed?

Talk to me lieutenant, sir.

Say something.

These Gooks are trouble, real trouble!

You gotta kill him twice.

What he'd say? Any important?

You savvy with this Korean, do you?

Up to now, you're late Montana.

He was reporting our position.

Come on! Come on!

Colonel!

Stay low there! Stay low!

- Should we run for it lieutenant?

- Get that head down. Don't get paniquee!

We are going right through this.

All you gotta fight is your own legs.

Make them carry you

beyond the range of fire.

Don't forget, we're heading for

chance for safety, diggin' n' rest.

That hill is only 6 miles from here.

We get through this

shelling, we are all right.

- Don't you think we ought to wait for dark?

- Not in the dark, now. They can't stop us.

- Let's get it over with!

- Don't panic!

Now listen and listen carefully.

They are firing in patterns of three.

So count three shells and run.

Two at the time.

I'll call of the names

alphabetically.

Ackerman... Christianson.

Wait! Wait for three shells, then you go.

Now!

Come on!

Come on Ackerman! Let's go!

Look, I feel the same way!

I wanna stay here. Leave me alone.

Ackerman, all I'm trying to do is

keep one man alive... just one.

To get through and report how the

rest of us got it. Maybe you're the one.

Ackerman, maybe you're the one.

Are you coming Ackerman?

Look,

I don't wanna go through alone.

Davis... Hannon!

- Hannon!

- He's dead sir.

Haines!

Lynch!

Lewis!

Lewis, come back here!

Come back here!

Maslow!

Montana!

Name's not Montana.

It's Williamette, Joseph R.

Meredith.

Don't walk, run. Count
