Chinese Communists.

S. K. S., Soviet-made carbine.

Russian Communists.

Ammunition.

Czechoslovakian-made.

Czech Communists.

No, sir, Mr. Beckworth...

...it doesn't take a weight to fall

on me or a hit from those weapons...

...to recognize that what's involved

is Communist domination of the world.

Ladies and gentlemen,

pardon us...

...for giving a little more than a

"yes" or "no" answer to your questions.

Are there any more?

Section "C," take the blue trail...

...and sections "A" and "B"

the red trail...

...for further orientation...

...on the capabilities

of the Green Beret.

Kowalski, break out the gear.

Okay, Sarge.

- Colonel.

- Yes?

Your brainwashed sergeant

didn't sell me.

Didn't sell you what?

Didn't sell me on the idea that we

should be involved in Southeast Asia.

You ever been to Southeast Asia?

No, I haven't.

Sergeant Provo requests to speak to you.

Provo?

Heavy weapons specialist.

I'll see him.

Sir, Sergeant Provo requests

permission to speak to the Colonel.

At ease.

I appreciate your seeing me, sir.

I know how busy you are.

I understand you're picking 2 "A" teams

for Vietnam. Is that true, sir?

We might be, and we might not.

I think it might be, sir. Since I

haven't been picked, I'm volunteering.

You're a heavy weapons specialist.

Not if I can find a light one, sir.

Why are you volunteering, Sergeant?

I'm a soldier.

That's where the action is.

We'll let you know.

Thank you, sir.

Sergeant McGee.

Pull his record.

I did.

He's a good man.

- Thanks, Doc.

- Yes, sir.

There he is.

Right on time.

Quite a character.

A tour in Korea...

...a year in Vietnam...

...speaks 3 languages,

but are you sure about this soldier?

What do you mean?

I checked his jump record. Every time,

the jumpmaster has to push him out.

That's why I want him.

He won't quit.

Hold it, soldier.

Nice day.

Yes, sir.

Out of your territory, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

What are you doing here?

Watching a basketball game, sir.

And what were you doing here yesterday?

And the day before?

And the day before that?

You spend so much time here you'd

think you wanted to join our outfit.

No, I don't think I'd care

to join the Fifth Group, sir.

I'm sorry to hear that, soldier.

Muldoon.

- Yes, sir.

- Carry on.

- Mike, what's that?

- That's the guy I was telling you about.

Pull!

Hello, soldier.

- So you decided to volunteer.

- My pleasure, sir.

Good!

Pull!

Nice shooting, sir.

That's normal.

Why did your outfit always send you

when they needed something?

I guess I'm good at it, sir.

But not good enough.

You got caught.

Yes, sir, your men did catch me.

1 time out of 100.

You better hope

that your luck holds out...
