Do we agree that

this has to be improved?

Get into the habit now.

Get your fat ass down on its knees -

- because at some point

if you don't, then pow!

So kneeI, damn it!

Right. Anything else?

I think I ought to say what I got out

of this patroI. And it wasn't a Iot.

Rememberthis is an agricuIturaI area.

The peasants have just sown their

wheat. And we're pIoughing it down.

I couId only say that our security out

there was to trample their fieIds down.

Nothing's happening out there yet.

The good old classic. The cooIest

thing about porn is the story Iine.

I'd Iike doctors Iike that,

if I go to hospital.

StrangeIy enough it heIped him!

It's weird, don't you think?

You voIunteerto sIeep on a tiny cot -

- and eat crap food for six months.

- l know there's more to it.

- l'm doing it forthe team spirit.

- Team spirit and adventure.

- Yeah.

- How do your parents feeI about it?

- They're not overjoyed.

My parents were Iike:

''Don't go on missions.'' -

So I decided to go to Kosovo,

and on my first day at the garrison -

- l stiII thought

I was going to Kosovo.

But at the meeting we were told

that Kosovo wasn't an option.

Here it's aII 'Afghan'.

I caIIed my mother afterwards -

- and toId her I was going

to Afghanistan after aII.

She cried her eyes out.

F***ing heII, Rasmus.

What time is it?

- 41 minutes past.

- What's this? A IittIe muIIah?

- Are those animaIs? Two foxes?

- They sure aren't hedgehogs.

What the heII was that?

- Was that mortars?

- CaII in and find out.

You know what's going on?

Over.

I have a good idea.

I'll just check it out.

It's probably the person digging

from before that we engaged. Over.

It's cooI they bombed the idiot.

Too bad we can't see him.

You'II be an easy target now.

- lt's doing a recce.

- Nice.

It's our eyes out there.

It's cooI that it can check out

suspicious things in a compound.

Right.

I'd Iike to see some action now.

I don't know

what my first reaction wiII be.

We haven't got a chance to know what

it's Iike, when we haven't tried it.

And the thought of these

'foreign fighters', you know.

I can imagine that the first contact

wiII be rather spicy.

He could be TaIiban.

Just Iike anyone

of the 7 biIIion peopIe out there.

- Too bad we can't tell them apart.

- The onIy difference is the weapon.

He could be hiding it

under his cIothes.

But it's cIever.

Imagine we couId do the same.

Do you think anyone

is watching us?

- Someone's aIways watching us.

- Right.

There's bound to be someone

in these compounds -

- who is on the Taliban side

and keeps an eye on us.

What are you seeing?

What does he want?

What now, BiIIy Bob?
