garment? They gave it to me.

Who?

The Germans.

They didn't give you a coat, Yank, they

gave you an insult. Hey, son. Over here.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Jerry tried

to humiliate you.

Now you must wear that coat as if you

were proud of it. Teach him a lesson.

It's terribly important

that you understand that.

It's been almost four years since I was

taken prisoner. True of most of us here.

We haven't seen a woman or a child in all

of that time. Think about that for a minute.

Want to know

how we survived?

Well, I'll tell you.

The day that I was captured,

I made a promise to myself:

I vowed each day I would

brush my teeth, shave my beard,

wash my hands and face before each

meal, evacuate my bowels with regularity.

And do you know why?

Because the war consists of

continual petty humiliations.

And I for one was going to treat myself

with a good deal of self-respect and survive.

Do you think

you can do it?
