You're out of business.

They want to forget about you.

You cost too much

and didn't turn a profit.

That's why they won't get our buddies.

There's no gain in it.

We know the books are still in the red.

The politicians know, too.

The same politicians

that never lost a son in Vietnam.

They say they've negotiated for 10 years.

Well...

the other side's not buying.

And while the politicians

sit on their asses,

I'm asking you to lay yours on the line.

Again.

Because, gentlemen...

we're the only hope

those P.O.W.s have.

So, we're going back there.

And this time...

this time, nobody can dispute

the rightness of what we're doing.

Get down!

You're all dead.

Not quite, sir.

[Snoring]

Go, Colonel.

Go, go, go!

Go! Go! Go!

Move it! Move it!

Move it!

Go! Go! Go!

F***in' pimp!

Go! Go! Go!

Blaster, go!

Come on, baby, go!

O.K. Come on, man.

Take it home!

Come on, Scott.

Go! Go, Sailor, go!

Come on, rookie!

All right, come on!

Go! Go, Sailor!

Hit it!

What are you doing?

You don't ever quit, boy.

Not when it's for real.

All right. That's enough.

Sh*t!

Damn!

Too much civilian life.

Pull it in!

O.K.! Move your butts!

Double time!

Good shooting, Colonel.

Blaster, your elbow down.

Yeah, yeah.

Sailor, stop spraying!

Conserve your ammo!

You haven't got one in the kill zone!

These hands were made to fly.

Tell the enemy when

he blows your head off!

Don't lose it, mister!

You kill the enemy, a**hole!

Sailor, I could teach

an undisciplined brawler

like you a lesson.

Make your move, boy.

Scott! A word, please.

Scott, these men are seasoned veterans.

They can't be treated like raw recruits.

You have to earn their respect.

Yes, sir.

Wilkesy's claustrophobic as sh*t.

He was the tunnel rat in our unit.

Goes down a tunnel

to check for weapon storage.

Turns out there's somebody down there.

He knifes them both in the dark.

Then the shells hit.

He's stuck until we dig him out.

Wilkes lights a match

to move the bodies offof him.

He'd knifed some woman and her kid.

Killed them deader than sh*t.

Jesus.

Wilkes starts freaking.

We can hear him screaming,

but he has to stay with those corpses

until we dig him out.

You come in low under his line of sight.

You leap...

taking him down,

placing your hand over his nose,

pulling his face away.

At the base of his skull,

you insert, scramble the brains...

Instant rag doll.

Most human problems can be solved

by a charge of high explosive.

In today's lesson,

we'll learn to set a series.

Follow me.

The idea is to create

a linked series of disasters.

Figure evasive moves from each blast,

and plant your next tomato.

Just as we're coming up here,
