Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Page #3

All right. Dang it!

So, do you believe the Afghani people

are happy about our presence here?

No, Afghans are the people.

Afghanis is the currency.

That's right. I knew that. Thank you.

What do you believe

your mission to be here?

Ma'am, you got a sticker on your pants.

It's bugging the sh*t out of me. Ma'am...

Fahim.

What inspired you to enlist originally?

I'm a big fan of the movie Predator

with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We're the same height.

Do you think the war in Iraq

has affected your resources here?

I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm not authorized

to answer that question.

I'd say we're both on the

wrong side of Persia, ma'am.

Iraq is where you get some right now.

Here just has sh*t all.

Are you guys getting

outside the wire much?

Yes, ma'am. Most days.

You know, we help out with

community projects and all.

And wells.

And sometimes at night

we shoot the big gun,

- but, you know, it's quiet here.

- Jesus!

We don't wear IBAs on the FOB.

I don't even chamber a round

in my weapon anymore, because,

you know, I figure accidental discharge

is scarier than the Taliban.

With Iraq, do you feel like people

have forgotten about Afghanistan?

Well...

Yes, ma'am. I'd say that

surely is the word for it.

This here's a forgotten war.

It's capital F, capital W.

What's your... Your name and rank?

I'm Lance Corporal Coughlin,

India Company 3-5.

Thank you.

Kim. Your hair.

Thanks, Fahim.

You really are a fixer.

Moon's out.

It's beautiful.

Suck my dick!

What does that mean?

It means, "What a terrible event!"

Miss Baker.

Colonel Hollanek is coming to Norton

tomorrow to check on some of our PRT work.

And you and your crew

are clear to tag along.

- Great, thanks.

- Rolls out at zero-six.

- That's 6:
00 a.m.

- I know that, yeah.

Fire!

Come on, let's go!

Get this sh*t together! We gotta move!

F***ing hands out of your pockets!

You think you're in the f***ing Army?

What is this?

That's my supplies. Camera stuff.

You f***ing kidding me?

This is an orange ruck.

No, ma'am. Not on my vehicle.

The girl at the North Face store

said it was, like, military grade.

Well, where are you gonna hide it?

Inside a f***ing sunset?

I mean, even the Dutch Army

don't wear orange.

Fix it.

How do I fix it?

Rapono!

Got to stay hydrated, ma'am.

Coughlin. I didn't recognize you.

That's 'cause I'm in warrior mode.

It makes me taller.

Enjoy the ride, ma'am.

I'm dying to know who blew up my well.

Working on it, Colonel.

That was a nice f***ing well, Corporal.

What'd he say?

What's that mean?

He wants to know if you are the Russians.

The Russians?

No!

No, sir. That was 20 years ago.

And we're here to help.

And I'm black.
