Sh*t!

F***!

We're we hit?

Don't worry 'bout it.

We're comin' down.

Take it port side.

- Sergeant Major!

This sucker's dead meat.

Get us down. Now!

You got it, chief!

Set it down. Now!

It's alright. It's alright.

We'll be getting outta here.

Be cool!

We're goin' down.

Just cut the fuel!

Get the f*** outta here!

C'mon! C'mon!

Jesus.

C'mon, let's get the Ghost

down to the aid station.

Murphy, see to it that

the kid gets de-loused.

DiNardo, your radio with me.

Let's move.

Let's move.

Where's your CO?

He's in the CP

jackin' off.

Yeah, he's at the pod now, sir.

Must've jerked off for the

second time by now, baby.

Good afternoon, sir.

You are the CO?

Who're you?

Sergeant Major Hafner.

Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol, sir.

Yes.

The French Foreign Legion had

difficulty in this country, you know.

Difficulty.

Street Without Joy.

You read it?

Yes, sir. I have.

Your opinion?

It's history, sir.

History.

Very good.

And you know that fortified positions

linked by mobile reconnaissance

has survived the strategy?

Are you paying attention, soldier?

Sir. we have just encountered

heavy enemy activity

in the vicinity of An Lap.

Don't be impertinent, soldier.

The Sergeant Major and I here

were discussing history.

History.

Well it seems to me that you would

like to know what the hell. . .

Nothing is 'seems to be'.

You remember that, soldier.

Yes, sir.

Even the incomparable Clausewitz

underestimated the

value of airborne artillery.

Then, how could he possibly know

given the historical contexts.

Sir, the gooks are on

the move out there.

Of course they are, Sergeant-Major.

It's the Tet holiday.

Every gook in the country is

on the way to his mama-san's

for f***ing fish heads and rice.

We just rescued

an American prisoner,sir.

And he's given us vital information

about heavy . . .

Soldier.

Come here.

Come here, soldier.

What?

Lemme I ask you a question.

Does she or doesn't she have

the greatest set of tits

you've ever seen in your entire life?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir!

That'll be all, gentlemen.

Dismissed.

Oh, by the way, Sergeant Major.

Put your men to work on

repairing the mess tin refs.

Haven't had ice cream in two weeks.

Complete air superiority

and they can't freeze a couple

gallons of f***ing ice cream!

Let's get outta here.

So. . .ah.

Staying, Sergeant Major?

Hundreds of places to live.

Sergeant Major. . .

I would say,

this is a perfect time

for a change of command.

For Chrissakes,

he's already brain-dead

If we don't do it

it's gonna get

everybody killed

including ourselves.

Sergeant Major. . .

Sergeant Major!

Goddamit, Nard, I hear you.

Wait until nightfall.
