come to work wearing pyjamas?
Flies undone?
Top jacket button, sir.
Admonished, Sergeant Hapgood.
What on earth is it this time,
Sergeant Major?
Dumb insolence, sir.
Dumb insolence?
Dumb insolence?
That hasn't been invoked
It's still an offence, sir,
under Section 83-A of the Army Act.
So what did he do or not do?
He refused to accept my criticism
of his work methods.
Sergeant Rohan?
Sergeant Major Bradleys insistence
that every letter of the law be enforced
almost impossible, sir.
- Guilty'?
- If silence is an offence, yes, sir.
Admonished.
May I remind you, sir,
that the relevant section
demands a reprimand as the minimum
punishment for this offence.
- Sir?
- The rest is silence.
We have to stop him!
We have to bring him down.
Charge him with something for a change.
- It won't work. He lives by the law.
- Then let's kill him.
- Murder is my...
- favourite crime.
We keep it simple.
Break into his quarters.
You and Redmond hold him down.
I stuff a pillow over his face.
Found dead in the morning.
No signs of a struggle.
- Celebrations all around.
- I couldn't do that.
Why not?
The Army's training you to kill.
Get some practice in.
God. Have you got a better idea?
- Psychological warfare.
- What?
Well, you know how he gets enraged
if his routine's disrupted.
So?
He does the Telegraph crossword
every lunchtime in the mess.
Well?
Well, one of us slips down mid-morning
and solves it. He'll go nuts.
That's some leap from murder
to f***ing up his crossword.
This is your guide to hygiene in Korea,
with nasty pictures about syphilis
and what it can do to you.
We had that lecture
on our way to France in the war.
The doc said, "So don't ruin your life
for 10 minutes of pleasure.
"Any questions?"
And one lad said, "Yes, sir.
"How do you make it last 10 minutes?"
While we're waiting,
take a few tips from an old sweat.
Now, saluting.
This is what they tell you to do.
Longest way up, shortest way down.
Finish with thumb
pointing down trouser seam.
Up, one, two, down, two, three.
Well, you can make a statement
with saluting.
This is the "f*** you, sir" salute.
Silence!
You are all about to posted to Korea,
which is no laughing matter,
I can assure you!
Sergeant Rohan will take the first
of three orientation lectures.
Inciting disorder. See me in my office.
Okay.
This is a war between North and South Korea.
The North, supported by China and Russia,
And General MacArthur
is in charge of the war. Was.
President Truman has just sacked him.
MacArthur wasn't satisfied with driving
the Chinese back over the border.
