:15:01
Minor mistakes
will pay back major punishment.
:15:04
Maybe you've heard
we've lost this war.
:15:06
Or we've lost the support
of people here at home.
:15:10
It's too late to
ask those questions.
:15:12
You're not back on the block.
:15:14
You're alive in a year,
we'll talk about it.
:15:17
When you arrive in Nam. . .
:15:19
. . .it's important to get acclimated
as quickly as you can.
:15:22
Remember to think.
:15:24
-You understand me?
-Yes, sergeant!
:15:27
What matters now is sharpening your
ability to find and destroy the enemy.
:15:32
Practice how to stay alive.
:15:34
I know what you're thinking.
I've been there myself.
:15:38
You're thinking you'll
go somewhere safe.
:15:41
You'll luck out.
:15:42
Tigerland is where
you stop bullshitting yourself.
:15:46
SOLDIER: Sarge, you got any advice
on how to stay alive in Vietnam?
:15:50
SERGEANT: I do, private. Don't go.
-Right on, right on.
:15:53
BOZZ:
My friend here wants the experience.
:15:55
Says he ain't scared.
:15:58
Well, good luck.
:16:00
If you ask me, I'll stick
with the smart and the scared.
:16:03
You'll be under the care of NCOs
and officers who were in combat.
:16:09
Listen to them.
:16:10
They know what they're talking about.
Cota.
:16:15
I'm Staff Sergeant Cota.
:16:17
I've done two tours in Vietnam.
:16:19
My first in '67 with the 1 01 st.
:16:22
Ijust completed my second with MAC-V.
:16:25
I only have two words
of advice for you.
:16:28
And those are to listen...
:16:31
...and to learn.
:16:33
All right, let's saddle up.
:16:36
Let's go! Let's saddle up!
:16:38
Let's go, goddamn it!
:16:44
COTA:
Get down!
:16:46
Good job, Paxton. Good job.
:16:49
Good job, Johnson.
:16:50
All right.
:16:52
Get your ass behind that tree!
:16:54
Fantastic. You guys move
like fucking soldiers!
:16:58
Get your ass down!
