:04:01
The dead know only one thing:
:04:04
It is better to be alive.
:04:17
I make it 20.
Is that the official body count, sir?
:04:20
What outfit are you with?
:04:21
We're from "Stars and Stripes."
:04:25
I'm Sergeant Joker
and this photographer is Rafterman.
:04:28
I'm Lt. Cleves. Hartford, Connecticut.
:04:31
Have you got a body count, sir?
:04:32
Twenty.
:04:34
How did it happen, sir?
:04:36
The N.V.A. came in
with a list of gook names:
:04:40
Government officials, policemen,
ARVN officers, teachers.
:04:44
They asked them, real polite, to report
the next day for political re-education.
:04:50
Everybody who turned up got shot.
:04:52
Some they buried alive.
:05:00
What is that button on your body armor?
:05:03
A peace symbol, sir.
:05:04
- Where did you get it?
- I don't remember, sir.
:05:07
What is written on your helmet?
:05:09
"Born to Kill," sir.
:05:11
You put "Born to Kill" on your helmet
and wear a peace button.
:05:13
Is that some kind of sick joke?
:05:17
Well, what does it mean?
:05:18
- I don't know, sir.
- You don't know very much.
:05:21
Get your head and your ass wired together
or I will shit on you!
:05:25
Answer my question
or you'll stand tall before the Man.
:05:29
I was referring to the duality of man, sir.
:05:33
The duality of man.
The Jungian thing, sir.
:05:37
- Whose side are you on?
- Our side, sir.
:05:39
- Don't you love your country?
- Yes, sir.
:05:41
Then get with the program. Jump on
the team and come in for the big win.
:05:46
I ask that my Marines obey my orders
as they would the word of God.
:05:50
We are helping the Vietnamese,
because inside every gook...
:05:54
...is an American trying to get out.
:05:56
It's a hardball world, son.
:05:58
We must keep our heads
until this peace craze blows over.
