War Pigs Page #2

Look at that.

You know what I'm

betting, we get some slob,

Gets us all killed.

You think?

Gentlemen, gentlemen,

you're scaring him.

I'm not scared... I'm not scared!

It's ok, it's ok.

Hey, we've got officers coming.

You're not German, right, you're French?

Yes, my home was occupied

by the Nazis in '39.

I was conscripted into the German Army.

So how'd you end up here?

I grew up in this region.

I'm very good at getting men

in and out of enemy territory.

Is that right?

So what, the German army,

they just let you go?

I never believed in Hitler's Germany.

Let's just leave it at that, ok?

You got it.

Private...

Looking for August,

Sergeant, third squad.

What, you lost your tongue, son?

No, sir.

You're talking about the War Pigs?

That's right, yeah.

Respectfully, I don't envy you

if you're the new commander.

Why is that, private?

It's just that um, officers don't really

Last that long with them, sir.

Is that right?

That's right, sir.

You can find them just down that way.

Just pass the mess hall, sir.

Ok, good.

Thank you, private.

So everyone calls them the War Pigs.

Must be a good story.

I guess we're gonna find out, right?

Here we go.

Attention! Attention!

Able Company Third Squad, I assume?

Yep.

I'm Lieutenant Wosick,

this is Captain Picault

From the French Foreign Legion.

And I heard you go by the name War Pigs?

Why is that?

Well, we have a reputation

for rolling around in the mud.

Well, good for you, Sergeant.

Now you're the lucky

volunteers for a new mission.

And why would we want to do that?

I assume you mean, why would

we want to do that, sir?

In the U.S. Army, we address

officers as "sir," Sergeant.

Or is that going to

be a problem for you?

No, sir.

We just want to know our

uh, orders, guidelines.

It's a long way to the

Rhine and it's my job

To make sure these boys get home safe.

That's really sweet of you, Sergeant.

Your orders are simple,

you just follow mine.

We clear?

Crystal.

Tomorrow we prepare for

that mission, soldiers.

So you can get us all killed?

Lieutenant, Lieutenant...

I guess tomorrow you

formally join the U.S. Army

For the first time, Sergeant.

Soldiers, 0500 hours tomorrow, be ready.

That includes you, Sergeant.

You're dismissed.

These men are rough.

They are rough.

Definitely an edge.

What do you think of them?

I think these are the

men we have to work with.

Do you think they'll be

able to follow orders?

Yes, sir, but I think you

will have to earn their respect

And gain their trust, like everyone else

Who wants to make it

through this war alive.

Yeah.

A lot of men died following

me... following my orders.

It's not an easy thing
