In '67, when the call came,
we got sent off to Nam.

:20:07
We had only been in country
a few days. We was green as grass.

:20:13
We were in a two-man listening post,
talking just like we are here.

:20:18
Kelly lit up a cigarette.
:20:21
One minute we're naming
his unborn child. . .

:20:24
. . .and the next second
his brains were in my lap.

:20:40
The sniper zeroed in
on the cherry of his cigarette, Bozz.

:20:48
Gentlemen, it's all about respect.
:20:53
Respect for your superiors
and what they're trying to teach you.

:20:58
Respect for yourselves and your unit.
:21:03
And most important. . .
:21:06
. . .respect the enemy.
:21:14
You have 42 minutes. . .
:21:16
. . .then the squad's on patrol.
:21:24
Fuck.
:21:33
Gentlemen, this is the best Vietnamese
village we could create for you. . .

:21:37
. . .here on the base!
:21:39
Now, listen. You're all gooks,
so nobody speaks English.

:21:43
Anybody asks you a question
in English, you answer, "No bic. "

:21:47
It means, "I don't speak" in gook-ese.
Let's hear it.

:21:50
No bic.
:21:51
Good. Private Bozz, you are
the only man that speaks English.

:21:55
Speak only to the man who identifies
himself as interpreter. Understood?
