A Soldier in the Vietnam would have a chance in 55 to die during its Mission of the Duty.
- What? - I do not know, the crickets had stopped.
It has a tunnel this way.
- It finds that it has somebody in house? - Oh! yes.
It could be a overseer type NVA that hides the air inlet of the tunnel.
They order the artillery.
Red Light, here Brave Company 26, exchange.
Who is this? E what it is making?
It flies in circle on this line.
All the services must be informed to the Ladybird base, Sergeant.
Vi movements, and are the VC.
Helicopter, here Brave 6!
Helicopter, here Brave 26! It ceases the fire, exchange!
- Granada! - To lower, to lower, garnet!
- the VC turn in them, Sergeant! - They leave, they leave, they leave!
We finish to be with these VC?
- I go until them cover, me with fire. - It goes.
They stop to shoot!
Here, doctor!
- Good work, Sergeant. - Yes, but much shoot out, unnecessary.
Yes, I know, Right now go to speak with the Captain…
on that it consists in them, was not informed in them.
- That one is the helicopter. - What it said?
Where he is the cattle tender who was in the helicopter?
It did not have to see nothing, Sergeant. Private load.
Because it does not have pilot here?
Mr. Marks is speaking of its exploits.
It said that its ship never was attacked in all these years of work.
- Who age the other passenger? - Sergeant Earl Ray Michaels,
First Special Force in Training.
- Michaels came in this helicopter? - What?
We know that it is a myth, say that it is a legend.
Also they say that he is a cold assassin of blood.
What he says is correct, brother.
I am Leroy James, honored president in charge of the demolitions.
- What he brings vocês here? - A mission, my man, private…
Where it is the remaining portion of its team?
James, will say to it where he is.
We delay 18 operations of this game alone was a time factor.
Ander.Anderson, comes, you is part of this.
Michaels Sergeant, Sergeant. Zeke Anderson. Anderson is…
.The Sergeant of the squad of Goldman.
Now, where it said that it was this bridge?
To one terço of the Frenchmen where the old complex is now…
a subsidiary one in the oceanic border.
Charlie goes to carry the ammunition and suppliments?
We wait a convoy in three days, and then, this bridge will be history.
What finds of an aerial attack?
Negative, due to proximity with the villages friends.
We need to go there, to blow up the bridge, Bummm!, and to come back.
James and I will go until the bridge, what necessary of you, I am support.
- Lieutenant? - Well, this smells badly, but…
Clearly, we are ready to give the support that it needs.
Well, you and the Anderson follow. The two work with Michaels.
It forgives Sir, we go for this land, with nothing more than…
some few men, will give to the Charlie an invitation for the ball.
What it finds of this, Michaels?
I find that Anderson Sergeant has a feeling that would have to review.
Necessary a squadron, a quiet squadron.
With all respect to the Sergeant, this man lives fanfarronando…
..e without verifying if had a troop in the area, almost in the bush.
Goldman Lieutenant not wise person of this place,
you must an excuse to Michaels Sergeant.
Zeke, if I knew that its people were there would make different.
he must have if informed, he has reason, I I feel.
This bridge is critical.
It is well?
I want that they finish here with its differences now, before this empaque.
- Here it does not have problem, Sir. - Anderson?
- I already made my pazes. - Good.
Goldman, I know that he does not go to like this very, but…
The fifth group of shooters, in them sent an officer who is half slow…
Michaels, is mission is to its position.
It has some problem with this?
- Not, no problem. - OK, has 48 hours to make the work,
They collect its things, the men must rest a little this night.
Zeke, we are here of new.
You do not import nothing more than the milicos.
Yes, in paying he is what he matters.
I see that was sent for another mission,
The last time that we talk, you was in Idahô,
Making plain with the wife and son.
Yes, but what I earned with this? This also in them makes a wild Country.
Welcome to the Club. Worse that when I came back to the Tenesee,
it only said good bye, was wild pra to see my old one,
More could be had fun, if it took off permits to serve to its country.
How they are, welded?
The vocês majority bad is informed of the progress of the war…
Reason or explanation for its presence does not exist here.
Nothing more confused of what to be sent to the war to die…
To live or to die without the lesser idea of what it is happening.
Yesterday, 2º of 25.a was verwhelmed.
E does not have tomorrow for vocês,
We go black brothers who make fighting here?
In house not even they can eat in a restaurant of whites.
They come back toward black house, brothers. This is not its war.
- I interrupt? - It not only listened to music, brother.
They touch optimum Blues Rock.
I taste of, Marvin and Tammy.
A time stows with them, others!
“Down Town Detroit”
Marvin Gaye? you lying… … of really?
Not only with it.
How many already it killed, Sergeant?
I never promised to take register.
they know, after seeing them deceased,
they must understand that we are hunting ghosts,
we have the day, it we have the night.
It fights when he wants, he waits they order where it…
… he is as he takes the life.
Being quiet at night, moving themselves in its territory,
betting in its proper game.
Yes, certain.
Thus, he does not have form to lose no war.
- Is not certain, Sergeant? - Yes, it is certain…
to think about Charlie, is to think that one week in the forest can survive…
.it only.ou to make a small damage to the rice.
It more does not have nothing in this story that the fight,
in 2.000 years we never do not lose, Never.
What it said, Sergeant? what they are better that in?
It swims. it is better that we. I only say that we have an enemy…
… that we have that to respect them.
Yes, it seems that we have luck to have last this blank week.
All mission has decreases…
it leaves the great decisions for the politicians and the generals.
It does not have nothing duller than this certainty?
This youngster has something against the war, Zeke?
it is a new harvest of soldier. He is a “thinker”.
- I have questions above all this. - It is treated to survive, son.
The survival is all the glory that has in this world, certain Zeke?
Yes, it are there is a forest.
Very well, they listen to all.
All take handle detonator and C-4 envolto in plastic…
burning, going off can and it will not have problem.
What these capsules make is a true one ruins in its reach.
We will go in helicopters that aterrisam close to base NVA. They say the minimum.
The patrols NVA, men, bombs, traps are intent.
Very well. They will understand?
It is what it seems.
I find that I go to hate this film.
Plus things, Zeke.
You will occupy some privileged places with its squadron.
He does not have privileged places for my squad,
the only privilege is when to come back pra house.
Devils, Zeke.
It leaves to clarify me the things.
With us two making the work, we will come back in less than 9 days.
It sees, we need one the other in this.
I want that it shows all respect to me that feels.
It leaves to say me what I feel. I feel fear when I go there…
e I feel pain when my people come back wounded.
Therefore I feel what I feel.
Let us leave the past in the past,
but, he does not make me to feel as if I was the enemy.
He does not wait that he sends a ticket of greetings in its anniversary.
He knows what taste in you?
He knows I scare because it?
Because when looks at pra me, you see yourself.
Without wife, family, place.
Nothing more than a war to write down in its tablet.
this is not new for the Country and neither they go to make it something.
They hear, that devils are having here? We go, we have weapons to lead, We go!
Ei, what this with Michaels is everything?
It is starting to feel as if the duty paid.
That devils means this?
Until where I know, everything this is personal subject.
Drug, I am 18 days without resting,
it did not have to be here.
For this it is trained.
Ei man., it is so bad that of nor pra not to moor the shoes.
I would have to be there behind, with the things and not following you.
For me she would not be, but… necessary here.
When to come back I go to invest in my studio of writing.
I go to full itself of optimum sound.
This remembers to me, the Rock and Roll arrived to be.
It hears, it must be difficult to carry through an order, is?
Forces Special and everything this.
They pressure it in such a way, that it can cry.
It had never obtained without Earl Ray.
Man, I am black, understands?
Which is the history of Chang? It never smiles, never speaks.
Nung is hard is of the race. It does not trust a Chinese.
Until they hate it to the Vietnameses.
but. one is cursed good soldier.
E Michaels Sergeant?
What has with it?
I do not know, it is a musical contradiction…
..não matters where moment always goes to pass to the following one.
All we have that to believe in something…
now I trust Jesuses and Marvin Gayes leave who me to pass the night.
not necessarily in this order.
km has a village to ones 4 daqui, could there deviate.
To deviate? What we have Anderson Sergeant here? A school of nurses?
Well, it is enough, Michaels.
Lieutenant, if assumes great team of support
He knows what Michaels?
what it costs to work with officers does not know?
When they do not know what they are making, Sir.
He knows, I have the impression that he is not generalizing all the officers, or yes?
I have a mount of ready C-4 pra to blow up this bridge…
now it says, me, we are in a mission or gaining land pro personal.
- Writing a book, son? - a daily one, but could be a book.
But, if it assures to write well my name in it.
Will make I it.
They stop, stop are not moved, that nothing if it moves.
Quiets, nobody is moved.
- If Lieutenant does not move. - What!?
- We go, that devils happened? - If it does not move, Lieutenant.
It is a wire, in the front and behind.
Very well Horn, is clean. it comes back to devagar, to devagar well.

Bingo!
Thai Cong NV, 14 kg of pressure, and if detonates the TNT.
cadê the face of the bolts? - Horn, gives this bolt to me.
They are not moved. Nobody if moves.
Anderson, that devils, goes to make with this?
A separation of the box of fuses eliminates the pressure.
We go nena.
Oh, gentleman!
Very well Lieutenant., he comes back to devagar.
Horn.
If it does not move, not.
Very well, Lieutenant, let us leave daqui.

Curse.
Charlie will come at any time now that we denounce in them.
Curse.
- It is so badly? - He is died.
they pull out.
They put below.
They do not touch it, can be a bomb.
This Country would initiate a fight to be the center of the attentions, certain?
All in Saigon know to fight.
Well. I will not fight in this war.
He says, because I do not make idea.
It seems that the Michaels is fighting its proper war.
It is probable that it dies saying: “God saves America”.
That devils has between you and it?
I am writing an article on it in the “Stars and Stripers”.
Already I have its subscript.
Oh!, sanguessuga, one sanguessuga, comes to take off it…
It leaves to take off me it.
it takes off it.
It leaves., excrement absorbs blood.
It listens, can remove?
e that happens later that it takes off?
Step this liquid in the skin, and it leaves alone.
Quiets. e takes off this thing.
I caught of the squadron of bombs takes off sanguessugas easy.
I have to pass this in my brother-in-law…

They stop to whisper, and they erase this cigarette.
they are moved, and quiets.
Ambush! they lower brothers!
, Fire very well crossed, in these trees.
- Sergeant. - Control its men. Lieutenant?
Sergeant, keeps its position, until deciding the situation.
Understood? Anderson, we go covers, me.

Horn, shoots… shoots!
Horn, shoots!
it shoots…!
- Where they are Horn and Purcell? - They had shot there in them behind, this is everything.
To be surrounded sounds as to ask for not to blow in a sleet.
To some time none of us would be arguing this, son.
Throughout these coordinates it is open land…
e in them will lead direct the attack area…
… until let us can hiding in them.
The least for this shunting line, we invite, Charlie for the party.
Sergeant, we have something to say to it.
We prove that all team is joined to an intention.
Well, a favor of all, catches the weapons, equipment and everything…
e leaves daqui, leaves all.
If its friend not return, could go to search it.
- Something Sees. - Nothing more than VC dead yellows.
We go Zeke, all this cursed zone will be soon full of VC.
- This is its mother, Michaels. - Yes, the things are difficult to the all.
Zeke, wants to be famous? It wants to save the world?
- it is joined the cursed Greenpeace - the mouth Closes, Michaels!
They hear, that devils pass here?
We only talk of that it does not have that to embed to all, Sir.

Michaels, if to say plus a word, goes to give a foot to you in bunda.
we came to knock down a bridge, and not to be eastern dribbles of nenês.
- We go, we go man! - Curse!
Cursed. either!
They want to make something?
If they want to make something, Make fast!
I am satiated of this!
Very well, they are decided, they come back to the line, now!
In some way somebody has that to make a prayer or something.
Something.
It stops…
for everything it has one hour…
e a time stops…
each intention that we have…
time to be born…
time to die…
time of plans…
e time to have value to fulfill the plans…
time to kill…
e time to listen…
I feel, I do not remember the remaining portion.
Certain, we go. We go.
Lieutenant, the girl said that she had NVA's to the front.
Daqui has NVA's until Cambodia, Zeke.
I listen, I was not asking nothing to this girl…
it thinks that what imports in them, she is alone to return the favor.
I would not send a postal card to this girl.
well… well.
the girl knows something of strange people going for bridge?
I do not know, it only said that lived in a village later Da Ponte,
e that had that to leave there for the units of assault, Sir.
Sir, people daqui are all VC, Charlie not wise person that we were here…
e probably already is arriving at Western Union.
what we will make, Michaels?
to banish the remaining portion from the village, and to leave this girl alone, are this?
I would like to make it, but I cannot because I have that to fulfill an objective.
e which is? the cursed bridge.
e would like to leave when putting of the sun per the morning, this that matters.
Lieutenant, we have a great problem now.
because if this girl is VC, we cannot leave it here…
in another way, the Charlie would say of as we clean the horizon.
e if will not be?
if she will not be it we will leave here in the way it nothing.
- you playing, man? - very well, very well!
We will take the girl with us. It stops assuring in them.
Beauty!, now we will be Mickey Mouse.
Because one does not keep silent, Michaels? e if fixes to the program, certain?
- It is holding back our mission. - Not, I am not holding back nothing, Sergeant.
Lieutenant, this we will see…
Very well, we go. We go.
it did not choose the moment to be born., she is not, Sir?
Percell, and the head?
Well Sir, in the neck.
Now, we are waiting..sentados in these trees.
It is the track of these faces, baby!
it gives a foot to me in bunda if not to scratch out these faces of the face of the planet.
Taylor listens, is not the track., it is our track.
If I knew to the ten minutes, I did not have expense my reserves…
… my old plan.
Sergeant, is not what it seems, certain, Sergeant?
- Yes, it is what it is assumed. - Is speaking of fire friend?
We are not saying of fire friend,
we are speaking to think when the shots will be close.
- It understood? - It wants to put in charge itself, Ruiz?
Trick? it finds that I go there, pra to take a shot in bunda?
It has shame, but, does not have fear, taste of its style.
Yes, as much how much taste of its, Sergeant.
Earls, comes surrounded in different pack, Ruiz…
the times if fight, if fall, If it raises and it starts of new.
- Has a moment? - Yes.
Ruizes and excessively know what she has between us?
Already Earl Ray said to you, I leaves, past, in the past.
but devils, a precedent was created speaks to the Purcell and Horn thus.
With that devils had obtained this information?
It knows Earl Ray, when I rolled myself, not wise person what it went to happen…

Not, not, not, I am not I eat you. He does not understand me, certain?
you are in the height of the war, I you only want to survive…
with a little of dignity.
I only am part of this chain, Sergeant.
He must never have happened what he happened, Earl Ray.
He must never have happened. I have nightmares.
E finds that I not? It finds that I am not thus?
- Thus it is the war. -, It is not worse of what it imagines.
You are you are of control, you have two people there deceased.
Good., they had saved its life.
This would not have happened, if it had not followed its proper rules…
as one was alone.
I admit that it had decreases, but, somebody has that to run the risk.
it does not give accounts to me of bodies. Nor reasons of deaths…
because I stow here, arresting the cursed breath…
with sneezed blood of my people, I listened to boys of 17 years…
To cry for its mothers all the nights. Vi to die them to I in the way of rain!
This subject is revolting.
It said already it before I committed an error.
All this war has not felt. None cursed felt…
except perhaps, for the boys who had died.
