MISSION OF THE DUTY
SIXTEEN AMERICAN JOURNALISTS HAD LOST THE LIFE IN THE WAR OF THE VIETNAM.
Well, with this I will not have that to cut for the ones of the nose for a time.
In the Valley Binh Khe it is a good place to use it.
I find that there it has some tunnels posivelmente and some caves.
It is not where had wounded?
It is…, I am very sentimental alone to think about returning.
In special with this fire power.
Moreover, we will give a good spectacle to the reporter that goes to go with us.
A reporter? E comes with us?
Vocês is really well with the notice of this night.
We go.
Who comes there come, Noel Papa, or who?
Not, a reporter that wants an excursion to the forest.
This is everything that we need.
It is probably some expensive rejection of form and with thick lens.
I do not go to take care of of this idiot. We will compel Horn to make it.
Oh! man!
I heard well what it said to take care of, Sergeant, put in charge of it todinha.
Oh, Gentleman, it must brush teeth with very gostoso cream.
It is, it would like to have it the 2 meters and way them cavaletes.
Doctor, Doctor! I find that I am gotten passionate.
All certainty, is recording Khoi? A moment, is well, goes there.
Olá, I am Vicky Adams and I am here with Captain Rusty Wallace…
… of the Brave company, we are here for some questions.
Captain Wallace, can say something on this mission?
Intelligence detected movement NVA in the Valley Binh Khe.
Then, we go to take all the company and…
perhaps… we will make a recognition and some prisoners.
Well, this does not seem to have much action.
Good, if this is not enough exciting substance for you…
… why it does not call marines?
Well, it seems that you control the problems sufficiently well, Sergeant.
Yes lady, but I am not looking for.
We are not here for inventing estórias for the press.
Great, Khoi cuts.
I am not asking for it invents that them, I only walk searching the truth.
We have much of this here lady, as much, that will be able to lead for house.
Thank I it.
He is not thankful to me before the time.
Permission to see the troops Sir.
Granted permission.
Lady.
This face is of the type.
It is probably one of the best sergeants.
It is well direct.
We always can count on Anderson Sergeant to say what it thinks.
Ademais, we have whenever to be right-handers and…
… this can be a very necessary instrument in the forest.
Very well Johnson, revises all the ammunition.
E if assures that all the weapons are clean.
I do not want that the rifles stop.
Something more, Sergeant?
Yes, it says Baker please that she puts stockings 3/4 new?
Of this boy she is very old.
Sergeant. Yes.
I find that it goes to be a really interesting experience.
It is, this is a way of if seeing.
What had? In Saigon they had not given sufficient notice of the war?
In the session of notice of the press? The insensatas of the five in point?
As soon as they call now?
The truth is finishes it thing that wants saying in them…
… thus I am here for seeing for same me.
Senhorita Adams, the truth is naked here, and very dangerous.
I do not find that it can with it
I find that my men go to be distracted with a beautiful woman.
Debtor.
I said I eat a fact not as a compliment.
E is a fact.
I prefer that my men look traps., to the look to you.
As he wants, I only want he the same deals with that me skill that treats its men.
I go to say Srta Adams, I make its part and he does not intervene with mine.
My name is Vicky, and which its? Sergeant.
I do not find that Walter Cronkite goes to want this filming.
Well, a little of color never aches.
Of who it was the idea to leave this thus?
I do not know, an anonymous genius whose contribution in this war will be forgotten.
Lieutenant, wants aid, gentleman?
Some tourism?
Perhaps a demonstration of force?
Tomorrow boys, tomorrow will be able to show everything what they know of an operation.
Sir, them could say something? To say what, welded?
Any thing. That it is.
Well, I am Vicky Adams and I am anxious to know them.
I am Marcus Taylor.
Alberto Ruiz.
Danny Percell.
It does not know as it is pleasant, to hear its voice.
A voice is alone.
Not, it is the voice of a North American woman.
Already 9 months had been transferred that heard the voice of a North American woman.
Nine months, debtor.
Also it has that to recognize Ru, never he will be so pretty as I.
It is., so bonitinho., well pompous you are very well thus.
He is., he does not say to the Srta Vicky. I find that he goes to have with this boy.
Taylor, continues dreaming.
It was dreaming very at night, Jack. Uhhh, and as I was dreaming!
To dream of it is everything what they make, a time sees that me, everything finishes.
It is, because with certainty deceased will fall.
They hear, I only want to be in the TV for to see me to the friends in house.
It is, I also, Ruiz terrible and its humilhante machine gun.
The nightmare of the gang of the Bronx.
Expensive you, go to be the whole world nightmare.
He is., I find they call that you horroroso in its piece.
it heard badly, the troglodyte.
It calls me to all coffee because I am gostoso and I finish.
I am ready. It is…
Soon? Action.
These are the Squad As young of the Brave Company…
… preparing itself for an operation…
How they go to call this operation, Captain?
Haã… that such, operation, Vicky?
It speaks serious.
I am serious, will be Vicky operation.
I make this for the spirit state, never vi the staff to be so well.
Very well, it is the Vicky operation.
Squad! Attention!
Well, well, well, then the likeable Percell?
Is so clean as one xerife of the Mississippi in day of election, not?
It sees the Cook, its boots are pretty and shining.
Why it does not go for the border before Charlie sees in them to a distance mile?
If it shaved, Ruiz? If it shaved, right?
All decorated, right?
I thought that only it was decorated when it was to visit suck-san Pretty.
What I smell is this?
I smell of lotion beard after, is this that I am feeling.
All had passed lotion, right?
It is not thus?
Well, if my memory serves me right, they are a group of so pretty friends that it never existed.
E is certain, of that the pretty lady it will show the world to them, is not thus?
It is…
But, we go to fight with the enemy in the forest…
… and we do not go for the zone as in Saturday night, not, we will not go.
Not., we go to see wet pigs and buffalos dirty…
… so that the enemy does not feel our perfume and it kills in them.
Then,
Vocês has 60 seconds to clean itself and to take off this I smell of the face…
… and to come back here smelling animal and dirty pigs as I in such a way love.
Now, they leave form! They go, they are moved, they moved!
I find that most difficult for a commander it is to lose people?
They had said me, but I do not get used, in no way.
The faces add after a time?
I remember to each one of them.
Somebody in special of who would like to speak?
The Shau had one face in the Valley, makes months, a good face of Kentucky.
A mine pulled out its leg.
It was calm, he looked at alone me and he said: “Sir, I go to die is not”
I assume that it had that to liven up it. I could not make it.
The boy had that shining green eye.
So clear, it was the type of eyes, for that not if mind.
The doctor offered morphine, and said to it “takes”, “thus will not feel nothing”
but, the boy alone if fired, looked at for the sky and said:
“It is a beautiful day, doctor, preferred to die sensible something”
He had eighteen years of age and he was died in half minute.
we are shaken when we lose young, thus, in the way it nothing.
E the people in house seem not to import themselves with nothing.
She has other thoughts on the war.
Yes they could see the sacrifice that makes these boys.
This is what vocês, the reporters, have that to show.
It has that to attract the people so that they can see and feel what it happens here.
So that it means something, it has that to mean something, it cannot be for nothing.
It forgives me.
It is well, cuts Khoi.
If it does not move! I am not of good mood.
It hears, will not be better that it disconnect the camera now.
Not, not, I cannot.
How, it cannot? I asked for disconnect the camera.
Captain, had made the capture, will not lose the interrogation.
He disconnect the camera, right now Captain, listens, simply…
He looks at, will get the sufficient… This is history.
Not, this is not history.
This is history, this is great, Knows the press freedom?
What it said?
Captain, said that we are encircled by a battalion NVA, does not have exit.
He speaks serious? He wants that I go to inquire?
Sir, them can be in position right now.
It is, and this face can be lying. However we will have that to explore.
Captain, I find that we must take this man and deliver it brigade to it.
This is its criterion, is not thus, Captain?
Then let us continue, alone we are it are half hour.
It looks at, I know that they do not like, but, this is not much history.
Captain, does not think that we are here for getting a history.
We go Zeke, you knows as it functions.
The friends in house will not like to see this type of notice.
The great operations in have not disclosed many things to them.
Thus, we are under orders to get good public relations.
However, you know that in they do not give orders to them for things as this…
… but the pressure comes of the brigade, the battalion, says who it, and weighs, believes.
It is, and it falls in our coasts, not? Well here, on the men.
Sergeant. Sir?
I would not make this if he did not have a good one felt to militate.
Yes, Sir.
Sergeant. It lowers the voice.
I feel very, what it happens?
It happens that we must take this prisoner in return.
Perhaps well, thus we will have more information.
It is, and perhaps also they shoot in them.
but, contanto that it has its history, is everything what it matters, right?
To get a good history is my work.
E my work is to keep livings creature these men…
… and I am happy so far not to have happened nothing.
Sir.
I go to take and Cook and Baker.
I go to check encircling this track for one 800 meters.
I go to walk in circle and the meeting here in return.
Sir, is certain of that he wants to make this?
Yes, I am.
Cook, Baker.
What had?
I do not know, seems that the Captain is forming a patrol.
This is not seen frequently.
It must want the faces muitíssimo.
Too much excessively, the Johnsons, rest a little, remain themselves safe.
The patrol must come back soon.
Better that yes senão we will have that to go to search them.
It finds that against war they cospem in the soldiers?
If to cuspir somebody it will see me my machine gun.
These people are not against you, are against the war.
Much people think that we would not have to be here.
Then they give to aid and comfort to the enemy, not?
This calls treason, of where I come.
However, you know that many think that our participation is very…
Horn, I do not find that we will have in them this colloquy another time.
At any cost people defend what she believes.
To make love, not it war, certain?
In this it has reason, Ru.
It knows, although to give heard to this free love, I taste.
Perhaps it must visit this “Haight Ashbury” in the house way.
E to teach to these hippies something of true love.
The love is the remedy of Marcus Taylor.
It is, does not only bring inside of the uniform.
I said that the prisoner was lying.
There he does not have nothing except some footprints of sandals…
… and an old encampment that was not used to the times.
Captain, because he did not only find them, does not want to say that they are not there.
They are there, but we do not see them.
Unless let us make a long-range exploration.
We must come back?
Not, Lieutenant, we will follow in front.
We go to find these boys. We go going!
Sir. Yes?
We can say a moment? They speak.
It is well, Sir? Why it would not be?
The mission, gentleman, seem that we are exceeding without no reason.
It has many good reasons. Good, it is not the press…
It is not the press, Zeke. Then what he is Sir?
Wise person who was important when stows here in '67…
… but, I did not come back per 3 weeks that stow in the hospital.
Captain, Charlie does not stop in a place wants to say, is always walking.
They do not go to be where it thinks that they are.
Unless it has a really good hiding place…
… and unless let us not find them it does not have no exploration.
I find that we can surprise them.
Me it seems logical.
I only wait that we do not surprise all.
Not, we go, let us advance.
Ei hardens the welded look, can be in the television.
It hears, if it matters to lower the voice, please.
It smiles, Zeke.
As it said, it looks at, all they smile now, they can be in the TV
My Elmer cousin, says oi for the people in house, Elmer.
The war is difficult. Somebody, has that to make it.
They are moved! We have a prisoner.
Olá, and come well to the colorful Vermont.
Health, debtor.
Olá, peace to all.
Then, Srta. Vicky, As was put in this fraud?
Good, I covered homicides in Boston per 2 years and., There, to mer…!
Uuuhh! lady, hum…
Its first trophy of war.
It is, this is a beautiful sanguessuga.
Generally they like me, but I find that it found something more candy.
What?
It is looked at, eating ham and fruits in a can, cover of sanguessugas.
So that it makes this besteira?
It is part of my career.
You know, you are very pretty to have this career.
He would have to be in a mansion, bringing beautiful children to the world.
At least working in a clerical table.
He is, happens that I do not want this.
Then he has that to examine its head.
The funny world, boys, many women do not want more to be in house.
It has many things that we can make without depending on the men.
Well, if the women, want to work, for me all good.
I will be in house eating bonbon and attending to novel the day all.
She knows, she could also see it bare-footed and pregnant.
She is, I do not find that this is what the women has in mind
She waits, a little, where goes?
To look for to hurry the call of the nature.
She is but, she cannot leave in the forest alone.
Why, to take she wants me for the hand?
I want.
Ei Ru, gives this can to me.
Hour of the party! It is.
What it is making? Is looking at it, or what?
I seem so usual, Doctor? I am only catching coconuts.
You are a coconut.
Taste of the coconut water.
You like the coconut water?
Then I will lead for you. Its desire is an order for me.
Khoi, comes here, serious this. It makes a taking.
Two, one for me, another one for you. It likes?
They lower! they lower!
Care!
Of where it came? The trees watch!
They surround the perimeter!
They do not shoot!
How are you? it can make something? They do not shoot!
It is died Sir. He has that to make something.
He does not have nothing to make except placing in a plastic bag.
Taylor, the prisoner! The prisoner!
Percell, Taylor.
They go to catch it! It does not leave that it has escaped!
They do not kill it, do not kill it!
Curse! it is everything that we need.
They arrest perhaps it. Or not, perhaps necessary of a prisoner.
I find that we know of this, Sir.
It was as if the forest it had engolido or something thus.
Wonder.
It is, and now it goes to come back and to inform its friends…
… it is as I said that he is better to sairmos daqui.
Five minutes.
“An American soldier lost its life. e this is a very sad example…
… of this ironic war.“It is well, Khoi.
It recorded the film all?
Khoi is a good camera, does not lose very.
Then, making a narration?
It would like to get some commentaries of you, also.
Some commentaries?
I feel for its man, Sergeant, but…
… the writing of its death was very dramatical.
It is I know, was dramatical, but, I fear that it cannot use my commentaries in the TV.
Thus, I must be with the camera.
It cannot catch it. It cannot catch the film, Sergeant.
Sergeant, does not make this. Skirt of my front.
It is a very good history.
What it has 1a. emendation, and our rights?
E cadê the rights of the Cook?
We record history, this is our work, curse.
e is my work to protect my men.
E I go to make my work nor that it is for protecting its memory.
You are as all the others in this war…
… making everything not to say the truth to the American people.
We go lady, you does not see the truth, nor that she bites bunda.
The film not mind.
It says in the film the 4 months that this boy passed as welded?
It goes to say to America all that died catching coconut water?
It prepares the men, Sergeant. We go going.
In return the Zone of Aterrisagem?
Not, we do not go the Zone of Aterrisagem…
… already not even I have a prisoner and I will not come back until he has one.
It is, but, it had one!
E already I do not have a history since that it burnt the film.
Drug, not, has to souvenir, lady. It has coconuts.
You will have more hatred in the end of this, Sergeant.
E if not to make something with it, will go to its superiors.
It goes to treat these people with respect and cooperation.
I do not want that it sabotages its team. I was well clearly?
It is clearly?
Yes Sir. Now, we go to leave daqui!
Péssimo was one trick that made there.
Very well, it listens to, it did not only want that the parents of to the Cook saw it dead.
It goes to say that it died as hero?
, To the parents of the Cook it will not be said that it died in a hostile shoot out.
It does not have necessity they see that it to die acting as an idiot.
What? It forgets this.
You guilt me, right?
You have reason, I you blame.
I blame you, and to Captain Wallace. They do not play with the life of the people.
To play? I am here risking my life also.
It is clearly, and when it will have its history, it goes to come back to live good life…
… and it goes to leave these faces here in this podridão.
Where it wants to arrive, Sergeant? I do not want to arrive the nothing.
Only that me of the impression of that everything this…
… you are not real for, you are as an experience that purchase in the store…
If he leads for house and he puts in its bookshelf.
I am worried about its men, Sergeant.
You do not know nothing of my men.
You do not know nothing, the majority of these faces, come of the nothing.
They had not had money to have ideals of the war…
… or of lawyers take off who them of it.
E many has the luck to come back toward house where nobody the wait.
It would say that the life was not so unjust, of truth.
Well, I find that it does not have nothing to speak, right? of this
I go to make of this my place…
… and if some day I to pass for a cemetary of Veterans…
… I go to look at there and to think about what said here,
e I go to know that no tablet is there for that I made.
None of them.
You will be able to say the same?
What he has Sir?
I find that we have to bunker.
In the half of this hill, to the 11 in point.
Well he is hidden to see, but he seems great, what he finds?
He can well be a space for storage.
He is, also can be a hiding place for a well fed infantry.
Well, some garnets play.
I find that it would not serve for nothing.
It would only go to give to the Asians a chance to run away.
I do not say to surround them and to make a good recognition.
Well? You are the head.
He is, I will catch 3º squad and I go to flanquear through these bamboos.
I want to go with you.
This can be violent. Then, we go in front.
3º squad, comes with me.
Percell!
Very well, I want that it places a force of blockade throughout this line.
It is certifyd that the Ruiz orders these pigs stops backwards of the rocks.
E says to the Horn that it goes up here.
Sergeant we have, it, Sergeant!
It can be moved? It is, it is, we go to leave daqui.
They stop to shoot.
They are covered!
It is well?
It will go to sarar. Wise person who would find something here.
It is, that luck, I suggest that it comes back with the Lieutenant.
Well.
Very well, Taylor not comet errors.
The Johnsons, the Bakers, take off the tourists daqui.
Not, I go to be, Sergeant! Not, he does not go!
We will cover them! Ready, they go!
Now what? You, I and Mrs.
What?
Very well, of this time she follows the Captain. She heard me?
Certain, soon? Zeke, I feel, man.
This does not mean nothing, Cook this disaster, was my guilt.
Man, I have time enough to arrange this in the Ladybird.
It is well.
I do not go to take its time, only wanted that it knew.
Captain, only skirt daqui.
Well. They are ready?
They go
Wallace!
Captain, Captain.
We have that to leave daqui.
It does not fail me now.
We go, has a bare place to the 200 meters daqui, now, we can run.
It is well close to me and only it runs as the devil, understood?
Ready?
It goes!
They had wounded it? It donates very.
Certain, we go, we go going.
It can walk? Yes I can, yes.
We go, we go, we go, we go.
It is well, is well.
It leaves to give me one looked at. It is not well, is well.
Not lady, is not well. She has a wound in its leg.
She would not have to come back with its men?
She is, I have intention to make this as soon as you will be the saved one.
I find that the Lieutenant, is come now.
He was everything so fast.
He only feels because he did not record its film.
This is very cruel.
I feel.
Very well, also I feel, I look at lady, now I am with the wounded leg.
I cannot give the luxury to me to have nothing in danger together with me.
It arrives of hard words I do not support.
Very well, lady, looks at Vicky, listens to me to Vicky.
There she was very brave, now is not seated if blaming.
But a man died.
He is, it is deceased, but he had many before it and he will have much more.
But, you were not you killed who it.
He only wanted to be certain, understands?
He wanted to know he felt as me.
e made already it.
It is I made, it I look at, me now.
I feel myself as an idiot.
Very well, it will be here well. Certain?
It will be insurance here, but it must remain quiet, understood?
I will come back. Certain?
He shoots a garnet!
Lieutenant, Lieutenant.
Where she is the girl?
He took a shot in the leg. He is hidden there backwards.
E the captain? Now she is in the command Lieutenant.
You this well? Yes, as they are this way?
Well, we lose some. Definitively it has something in this bunker.
We go.
Wallace had reason, is in all place.
It is, I am thinking redeeming about me.
I go to give the touch Zeke Anderson in person.
Ei! you with the flame thrower. It follows me.
I wait, I go with you.
Lieutenant, now is its company. better to be here with its men.
Very well, he goes. They cover it, cover it!
Anderson Sergeant goes up there certain?
It is, but you? It comes here, Khoi!
It hears, I find that you would not have to be making this.
I am a reporter, soldier, and go to get my history, we go!
We go!
Sanders!
Khoi, Khoi, only follow it.
They die, cursed merdas!
Attention!
Bendiz Mr. and protects.
That he illuminates it to Mr., and if fulge on you.
He launches you its semblante.
To give peace, now and forever.
Amen.
Anderson sergeant.
Squad, to undo!
I feel that it has happened, Sergeant.
Well, Captain Wallace had reason on bunker.
I say that Intelligence goes to pass a good time with documents…
… and the things that had found and will go up the account of the bodies.
Of certain form this does not compensate.
Not lady, does not compensate.
Some time will pardon in them?
Already it finished.
Now, I do not say that I am well.
But it has that to understand that Captain Wallace, was under great pressure.
I mention myself, that they were pressuring it to the heads excessively.
It led obtains a letter of farewell of its wife.
Oh, God.
If they ask, because we are wild when we come back toward house.
I go to say a thing to it.
I want to say something good to the men, Sergeant.
I find that it has me the reputation in house.
They are not a mount of murderous assassins of children.
Not? it looks at here in return. If to look for well, goes to find here.
I want, to say, we are only a group of people as any another one.
I find that it is very bad that sees in them as individuals, understands?
What it wants when to come back toward house?
When to come back toward house?
When to come back toward house, I want to be treated as a human being.
Caramba, all we go to need somebody with who speech.
This is not certain.
I feel myself as if it came back and it walked with Captain Wallace.
Good byes are always hard, especially to this face.
It does not go to be difficult to say good bye to this place.
It is not this, Horn.
We are in firing to the Captain, and we do not know as.
Lieutenant, I find that if the men could say some words.
they would like that it was…
… some more easy words to the all.
more easy for me exactly.
But., a good man is died and he does not have nothing that can make.
All we will have memory of this man, that will follow…
… They will follow living.
I think that it could help…
… when remembering all the times that Rusty Wallace if put to the front for all we.
E the faces that had preceded in them.
To remember the Star of Silver, of Bronze, the Medals of Value.
To remember the times that if risked when taking care of of our problems.
It was a good soldier this is what he matters.
I am Vicky Adams, in the I Corps, Vietnam of the South.
