He must have some faces of NY in the project.
Everything is part of the modernization program.
It forgives of what?
Program of modernization.
If the Charlie calls “bush cordial”.
There it is the only project interests that me.
These new tools are a miracle agriculturists to improve them.
We go to have 3 harvests to the year instead of one.

… he is the first time that we come across in them with this.
Of what he is speaking? They are sending periodic patrols?
Yes we send patrols to give some blows.
It is not easy to command the men who leave to die.
For, this I find that the lieutenant decided to lead the patrol he himself.
You find who this you would be an easy subject.
He is. he sees that face there?
It is the Tran, the exploring “Kit Carson”.
He goes to be of great aid.
- With its permission, gentleman. - Yes.
Very youngsters move themselves well, go, go.

Goldman Lieutenant, Anderson Sergeant.
The only form to keep this safe village is to keep the defalcated enemy.
Sending many patrols, as this that I made.
Deceiving the Charlie, always using different hours and places.
It has felt in spirit.
Very well, from now we send two random patrols to the day.
I want 3º squadron the 15 hours covering all the area to the north of the river.
Lieutenant, goes to be difficult with all these friends pra here and pra there.
I feel sergeant, for the moment I am everything that we can make.
Warning friend…

It is without life, does not have nothing what to make.
How it finds that we put in them in a game as this, Sergeant?
It says something me that Charlie is in watching.
It must have been a rank of monitoring, Taylor.
We go, Marcus and Taylor recognizes a trap when they come.
What I want to know is as they knew that we came.
Somebody passed the information.
or it can have been coincidence,
or it can have been one day of luck.
It is our days of luck are far.
It knows Sergeant, I have a bad hunch of this place.
The number is against us.
E alone we are waiting our day to die.
Taylor, we go now.
They advance. It takes this.
It catches it.
Good day Pope-san.
Knows who is they?
Yes, they are monges of the monastery.
That finished men.
Food to excessively passes all the life asking for.
They do not need much food.
The ritual of all morning if calls the search the souls.
Giving to the villagers some immortality.
It has reason, is a work.
They take all the food in a hamper they distribute and it.
è a symbolic group, all the ideals of a Buddha, is to reach…
… the manifestation side spiritual leaving the physical pleasures…
… and its material ownerships.
Already it had experience, thus certain?
It has some experience to the respect?
I go to enter to the group this year.
Well, who thinks thus is a Charlie. This is everything imports that me.
They are neutral…
… they are very busy, following between 12 and 27 rules of the Dharma…
… including in not sleeping in a comfortable bed.
This I can understand.
Very well, patrol of the morning, we go to work.
We go Johnson, only imports myself with its company? we go!
- Good day, boys. - Good day, boy.
Sharp props, Have poison in them.
Well the one that distance we are of the road?
To one 200 or 300 meters.
I find that we will have that to follow this track until the end.
I find that we will take shortcut that way.
We will arrive the road for the south.
It has a quagmire that way. To encircle would take it all the morning.
Well, well, we will keep in them moved away from the road.
Certain we will follow the track. They keep the open eyes.
They are not lost.
Taylor, is puted in charge of this.
They lower! Ambush!
They are covered!
They follow in front!
Care Is well!
Soon!
All! They stop to shoot!
They stop the fire, Stop to shoot!
They were in waiting, man. As I spoke in the way.
They stop to shoot now!
What he has, Johnson?
If they had been and they had not left nothing more than remaining portion of fish and rice.
I do not know as they had known that we would be here, Lieutenant.
It followed somebody them?
Not, we came in circles for two times, stops assuring in them,
any contact with the enemy, or what it is.
It knows is not this worries that me. We know that…
… the main force in the area, is the NV because we did not see them?
I do not know.
What it has with the radio?
We use our frequency, second, procedure of routine, gentleman.
you have many faces without experience in the squadron, somebody you can have failed.
Nobody failed, Sir! Nobody.
Then it can well have been somebody, daqui of inside.
It could have been any one.
What we know of the Tran?
Little.
Some time was VC?
Yes, but. it passed voluntarily to our side.
It fulfilled the program all?
Yes, it was in one of the re-education fields…
… it studied politics and English.
It is, this means that some day will come back with its friends.
Not, this face is loyal.
You also would be if the VC, had killed its wife and children,
in middle of the summer, little before I arriving…
… he is what he was in the archives of intelligence.
Yes, but with all respect, gentleman. I find that I go to look in its house.
Perhaps if it is a rat, finds some evidence.
- They are in silence! - I go to stop with this excrement!
Olá, Tran, hear., now it is part of my unit…
… this means that it goes to be treated as excessively.
It means that he is subject to take ones pressed…
… each time that will be necessary. e I see that now it is necessary.
We go Tran, I I know that now the English can speak well.
They are its children?
It knew what it passed.
I very loved my wife, and my children very.
He looks at Tran, I feel very therefore…
… but, he has that to understand that today I lost some of my staff…
… and it is my responsibility that this if does not repeat.
He understood?
We go to evacuate the base, I do not want nobody this way…
… except Americans the team construction, workers and boys.
It does not matter that devils say, does not import me where party is…
… he does not import me if the soldier will be well or not.
yes Sir, but if the team of necessary construction to remove its materials?
If the constructors to need aid to load, use its soldiers, Keller.
We go, to continue this.
What it finds, Keller?
that the type of security problem,
that it points in a direction. it is this same.
We go, we go. All are daqui.
It will not have more security. It are of the limits of the base, now.
we go going.
We go boy.
little pig comes back here.
ei, boy, care!
Me of my clock!
Ruiz, all good?
excrement! the boy caught my clock.
A clock?
Calm man, this thing happens.
It was my clock of formation. It loved that clock.
- Graduated what? - in what?
it was a Swiss clock, man.
e did not have recorded.
it was thinking about recording, and to the cursed it took it boy.
I swear you to man, I go to catch it and leaving whole number.
- The boy will have a bad moment. - We go to take off lesson of this.
That devils is this Lieutenant?
They capsize as the boy passed the fence?
Thus he is easy to pass and to go for another direction.
When all this people to leave, We go to watch the perimeter all.
Well personal, they do not have to be here, we go, we go, we go.
they are moved, are moved.
You also look at you must go, to the other side of the fence.
We go, order of the Lieutenant.
Who is this garotinho?
he is half black, not?
Its father is died. Soldier of Sam name.
How much years he has? one.?
I have one, prime one of the same age,
e it calls Rodney.
it was of this size, when I came pra war.
Which its name?
Nor all in this Country have name but.they call, it Nien.
Well Nien, has that to go to the other side of the fence.
Not, Nien is not safe pro.
The people of Ben Tuey are very bad.
They do not like it my baby.
Hears Lieutenant, can make an exception?
Without, exceptions.
But it has a problem, of the son, with the others.
She has taken them for base, now.
everything will be well, Lieutenant. If it does not worry about the neutral problem.
Yes, the least we have the safe base.
I would feel safe more if these faces, left with the remaining portion.
I know, but they would be separate.
Everything what the Charlie has that to make is not to order more ammunition…
… this would ruin the project all.
It sees this, of this time I am prepared.
Percell! Yes Sir!
The 11,00 in point! he cannot speak!
Understood!
This will finish with the problem.
Curse, this excrement does not die.
It leaves daqui with this.
It sees man, where are all?
Because we only clean the base, it does not mean not to help the village.
All are in the dull ceremony.
Soldier, wants to see sex photo?
The best photos of sex.
What it is speaking?
Of photos pornô of the Vietnamese sisters.
Serious?
Cost 100 woods pra to only see.
It looks at, is not a married man? e soon goes to have a son in house?
It is already I say what I will make with this nastiness.
It has reason. Nastiness.
They to me give boy. Here they are.
Debtor.
We go, joins it the small ones, Keller.
We go, man.
Keller…
It is not necessary that if it goes.
I very feel to have interrupted.
You are welcome for seeing.
Perhaps I can light in the ritual, for you.
Clearly.
I was only observing, curious the order of the Budas for the pardon.
You mention the Afkan Gong…
… it is the ritual most important taken to the serious one for the monastery…
… all the mornings.
I go to say the truth, I do not know what he was thinking.
I am not very religious, nor nothing as this.
So little I am Buddhist.
I find that he is sufficiently obvious.
but, you are interested in the things spirituals.
- and this is good. - It is I read very especially…
… the eighth head, you understands.
è difficult, is not certain?
It is a concept very complicated for the American mind.
Asking it was me…
… it will be that it could come the ceremony, tomorrow morning?
To the 11 h in point when monges to come back of the search of its souls.
I do not complain me of as I feel myself but a little wanted to be alone.
- This certainly. It disturbs - Me.
They go, go!
It is calmed, catches with calm! Certain?
They will kill the Nien poor person!
If it does not worry, protect I can you.
They will kill the Nien poor person!
The Lieutenant finishes to move of opinion. This is everything.
This boy is part citizen of the E.U.A, had understood?
Taylor.
- It would be happy to be up there. - Appositive that yes.
The house of the tree is empty makes, few months…
… wars excessively…
The mountain dwellers who lived there, had come back to high lands.
Keller, Trap, cazamata! It leaves from there!
We are underneath of fire!
Doctor!
Doc?
Doc… leaves it, does not advance to order air for its chest.
It only had six weeks.
Expensive poor person, only speaks of its son.
Each time that we leave, ambushes in them.
We leave for 3 times, and 3 times had ambushed in them.
I more do not go to patrol. e speaks serious.
I less still, do not go to die for this dull village.
I less still. To the devil with this.
He seems we have a riot in our hands.
They want to lower the voice!
We go to only say an only time.
We clean the base and we eliminate any type of espionage…
… on the inside and for it are.
It is and what it has against these 4 faces of the team development?
Sir.
The only explanation for this, is that our patrols are being followed… [00:29:11.15]
… when they leave the fence for people daqui of inside.
With its permission, gentleman.
This is lie.
You know that she does not have form stops in them attacking 3 followed times.
What knows of the Asian, lieutenant? It does not see itself to shoot in nothing.
Already I puted in charge myself of this.
None does not have evidence that it indicates that Tran is disloyal.
- Evidence. - I want to see…
What he needs?
They hear, that devils! They find that taste of everything this?
They find that I taste to bring the body of the Keller in a bag?
They find that taste to send the novices against all the tactical possibilities?
Then it does not make.
They find that I do not feel nothing?
What he matters what feels, Lieutenant?
The subject is the following one: We are dying here!
- And we do not go to leave more! - With certainty.
Very well, let us speak of logical form.
- Our main tactics - the tactics Hear, Lieutenant!
To the end of this. This is the real life. We are saying of life and death.
Well, if it wants to speak of life and death is well.
If we desire to patrol, we will leave spread two in two.
We will prevent the enemy who comes to inside cover everything of the perimeter…
… and we will be invaded, will kill in them to all. To each one of us.
I will risk myself in the base.
Not, he will not go.
We go to patrol of new, the 16 hours.
E all that to leave will be violating directly Art. 90.
e will catch an arrest five year.
Understood?
What they find of this?
Brilliant, Charles.
- Well? - Well what?
It was only thinking about my father.
It would know as to face a situation as this.
You mention yourself to General Goldman.
In the reality, Colonel.
I age the son oldest.
I age the only one that it liked.
It hears, Lieutenant, it looks at…
… you would be more easy to make with that to these they please it men…
… I liked I eat I attacked the point that attacked in them…
… and soon they would kill in them, and alone he would have a person to blame.
The ceremony relieves tribute the four noble truths…
… that Buddha discovered it makes 500 years…
… in front of the tomb of the Buddha.
it becomes in them, to each one of us, with complete responsibility…
for our proper actions.
E is as soon as leaves well or badly the Karma in this life.
in agreement as we hold in them to each day.
It leaves its shoes here, before entering.
The message of the Buddha, in explains a life way to them.
Sample as to win the anger with love.
As to win the evil with the good.
e as to always prevent the falseness saying the truth.
The Holy Writs of the Buddha forbid to one monge…
… damages to the any creature of the land…
… paying the dishonor, beating itself…
… and it quits its dishonor beats who it with its sword.
Ideas must like them it Buddha when its country is in war.
For us, both the sides are enemy…
… both the sides want to impose its form of life we.
It will see, Mr. Horn. the Vietnameses are very traditional people…
… we have problems when contaminating us with external ideals.
Therefore ours monges is simple in the way to live, and without its ownerships… [00:33:08.05]
… a cloth piece to dress, and when they feel headquarters is that they drink water… [00:33:12.56]
… and a hamper for search of souls.
However I have that to say that I have a personal feeling of the war.
That cause much suffering.
As Buddha, I will support any government that satisfies the necessities of the people.
I am covered of pain.
It has taken this with you.
It is the one “Apithama”
It contains the principles of Buddha.
It helps perhaps it to understand the people who try to move.
I feel very. Please it pardons it.
He is very fast gatinhando.
It is being thankful, Lieutenant.
What it does not understand is that this is temporary.
It is clearly.
It has a new people friend to the South… It can understand what I say?
This new people who is to the south will be able to take care of of its baby.
I know that you and its baby will be safe there.
Not, Nien, was born in Ben Tuey. it must live this way.
- For its ancestral ones. - Not, only one week…
… I said that he can be one week…
… While I go to try to obtain a pass.
I exercise different, Charlie can destroy the village, I do not import myself.
Sossegue Marcus wants?
It sees, all we we go to die, Everything pra that the orientals grow
It sees, if not to patrol, goes to face one martial cut.
E that goes to make? To send me it the Vietnam?
Already we are in the Vietnam.
Ei, ei, this are not the Tran?
What it makes in it I deposit of the ammunition?
I find that it did not have to be there.
We go to observe the man. Probably it hides something.
It left the surrounded one.
They hear, better to say the Lieutenant.
I go to catch it.
Collisions we only bring and it in return.
They see this, what it said?
Wise person who this expensive one was suspicious.
- It is a map. - It is stock market of the Tran, the vi taking it.
Now we know as Charlie, ambushes in them.
- It is. - How we know that it is of the Tran?
Of what it is speaking? It saw it running, or not?
Any one can have stolen and rank in its house.
Certain, it counts something to me of it.
- We go. - We go Ru.
I am wild or is bringing all afternoon?
I do not know. It sounds well, not?
That more tests wants? Here it has maps, the ammunition, everything stolen.
e now this in its house? he is same.
We will try to capture alive it.
Taylor, keeps the calm. He is very calm…
It looks at Johnson, better to be behind.
Taylor, goes in the left. Ruiz, for the other side.
Tran I want that it has left now!
Tran I said now!
Now!
Ei. Lieutenant… comes to see this!
Horn, I do not know that it is speaking.
I begin in I did not give it account, these units has different cadence…
… different cadence, enters--
Johnson, verifies the monitoring rank and all revises the perimeter of the fence… [00:38:27.30]
… I want to make sure that none of the villagers passes.
It sees here I have one of the main speeches of the Buddha.
It will see that monges touches the bell sacred…
… to the dawn and entardecer, and these faces are touching all the day.
Anderson, catches some of the constructors it imprisons and them.
The cadence represents the English symbol.
The truth is that somebody in the monastery is dilatando in them to the NVA.
I did not decipher the code all, but it is a variation classroom…
… the basic symbols, have some combination.
It shows to me what it has.
It looks at Sir, how many digits has in a set of coordinates?
Eight, certainty? e in each digit has six or seven strokes…
… equal to a password, it sends sufficiently fast message.
It sees, this I wrote down to some minutes: “Ong Hong Lee Loi” this is Alpha Rasp.
e comes the numbers, gentleman, “Mot” that is 1, “Nha here Mot Bang” is 3.
- Yes and what? - It is the accurate direction of the point…
… of monitoring of the perimeter west.
They must have a radio syntonized in our frequency.
Not, it would be in the way of the patrols. I say, this information must be… [00:39:19.79]
… leaving daqui inside.
Horn, now shows to me as the Budas makes.
- It leaves to see me this. - Well Sir, we go.
- Sergeant. - Yes!
That hours has?
22 hours.
I will wait others 15 minutes.
- Horn. - Yes?
He is quieter.
I feel, me of the much hunger, when I make this.
It eats… but in silence.
- She is not the woman of garotinho? - Yes.
A woman alone, here in the night, has that to be it.
We can use it.
- Only this time. - It would be my coffee of the morning.
- We go this way. - Well.
Certain, the superior light if lights some times.
- That beautiful sight has daqui. - He is already vi.
It finds that it is stealing the maps all time?
Now I believe what we saw.
I find that it is looking this here and Tran would not go alone, senão would die.
We go to lead?
It does not go to come to search.
She seems that they were disfarçados rats of rabbit, brother.
It is, but I do not want to shoot senão rightness the Keller, this is everything.
It is the Charlie.
Very prompt.
They will say that they go to fish.
Ruiz.
Becker.
It waits a moment.
They must have listened it.
The machine gun, Ruiz.!
These are our weapons.
We are not in war?
It is at least we advance a little thanks to you, Horn.
Now we must find this girl to see if it has activity VC in the village.
Charlie goes to think that traiu it them.
The only place that it will be the saved one is in the monastery.
- Devils. - Horn, Johnson, we go.
These monges are very bonzinhos putting ones against the others.
vi Buddhists never to arrange themselves in such a way.
There it is.
She listens to me, to take we go you in return.
Because they make this?
You did not say that the Holy Writs of Buddha forbid to cause damages to other creatures?
You did not say me?
He has an excellent memory Mr. Horn.
Cursed hypocritical.
Good luck with its Karma, friend.
It seems that it was translating some poetries in English.
It leaves to see me this.
If you want to be a flower, That either always seeing the sun.
If you want to be a rock, that you are most precious…
… and if it inspires it to a bird…
… then by all means either a white dove.
Therefore thus you will be a true one human being…
… A true revolutionary.
it would have to be respected.
