MISSION OF THE DUTY
In 1965, the Viet Congs had announced that more than 1.000.000 of women… were in activity for its movement.
Ei, Horn, what it had?
It is not very happy to come back the base.
To congregate information in the rear, per two days, is not my vocation.
I know what he mentions yourself. Not, he does not know Sir.
You passed most of the time in the tent of this nurse.
He was investigating, Horn.
He verified the last advances for the training of this nightmare.
With the had respect Sir…
I find that he was to take the remedy for you yourselves.
Horn, is well? I am.
Calhoun? Yes.
Pointer?
Pointer!
Pointer, hear can me?
Pointer.
Calhoun, takes off it daqui. I will erase the fire.
They bring the box first-aid.
Pointer, is calmed, goes to be well, the fire already is extinguished.
My leg, my leg!
It goes to be good, to take care of we go you.
It is all slope on the inside.
It goes to be good, goes to be good. If it does not worry, not if it worries.
We will bring aid, Pointer. We will help it, not if it worries I have, it.
Lieutenant!
Calhoun, takes care of of it.
Lieutenant, what he had? What he happened?
He moves away myself!
He is in my eyes.
He takes, has water here.
Horn. I am here.
I cannot see.
I am blind.
Lieutenant, moves itself!
We have that to leave daqui.
How many they are, Horn?
I do not know, Lieutenant. It can be moved?
It is grasped in me.
Calhoun, puts the arm of the Pointer in return of the neck…
… It has taken it so fast how much it can.
Necessary of aid!
To leave I do not go you. We go I will cover, it.
Calhoun, catches it. We go, Lieutenant.
It has, the ones that to stop, are killing it to this.
The hut has taken Pointer, catches the Lieutenant, gives covering to you.
Horn, makes with they follow that it.
It is remained lowered, Lieutenant
Here, Sir.
How it is Pointer? Badly.
He is with it, I have that to come back there.
He is, is… goes.
Horn. I, the Lieutenant are.
They had killed the Calhoun. Oh! face…
How it is its eyes? I cannot see nothing.
It seems to be chemical dust. He will be temporary.
Already vi this type of burning, go to be good.
It is., and vietcongs?
How many it killed? It killed to all?
I am not certain.
When to know of this, will come more much.
Lieutenant, we cannot be more here, we have that to go.
It is, the blind person leading the mutilated one. This is great.
My God. Please he helps me.
He calms myself, he calms myself, he lies down myself.
Water.
We go, is lain down here, we do not go moving in them.
It donates very.
It relaxes. I am with very cold.
It wanted to be able to help. Here it is the water.
I find that never more it goes to have headquarters.
Perhaps it is better thus.
What he is this?
It is a Mezuzah.
It is a religious symbol, as They are Cristóvão…
… but, for Jews.
Yitgaddal v'yitqaddash (Glorified and santificado…)
sh'meh rabba (… it is the great name of God)
B'al'me di v'ra khiruteh (the world if curve to its will)
I feel, Pointer. It is everything what I remember.
This is a conjunct, or something thus?
It is., if it calls the Kaddish.
It is a Hebrew conjunct for deceased.
It knows, start to think that it was the only Jew in this war.
For the soil!
One VC, I go to catch it.
That it is happening.
We go lady!
It stops, does not shoot!
It stops! It stops! It stops!
But that devil.
Horn, was you?
I, gentleman are. I and a prisoner.
Great, he is well what we need.
What it has, does not like?
Its small one… Already it arrives, Horn!
Of the form that it killed excessively? He is blind for guilt of it.
One is not about this.
Says this it? It is.
It has sufficiently food to pass the day.
Its canteens are full.
Its rifle is loaded and ready.
Lieutenant, please. Please he comes with me.
Horn, already we argue this. We would only delay it.
But, I am with bad hunch.
E if the VC to come back? It needs medical attendance.
Therefore it is that it must leave so at your earliest convenience, so that they find in them.
Yes, Sir.
Is silent its mouth, please?
With pleasure.
She knows, if it moored in us this handkerchief, would drag the body.
She is.
How are the eyes, Lieutenant? I say, feels as it?

Not wise person who the English was part of training VC.
She learned where it? In Hue.

She seems that the serious one took its ideas sufficient.
My father was imprisoned for its ideas.
We love this country but the Americans come they destroy and it.
It fought and lost everything. I will not commit error the same.
You already committed an error. You are a prisoner.
You also can lose everything.
Perhaps not.
My God, the boys who to come back toward would love you to house.
The American students are very brave…
… if they risk muitíssimo for the Popular Forces.
He is., they are very brave.
In the United States they do not arrest for saying it its thoughts.

Not. I believe in the freedom of the word.
Vocês is that they want that all think in a similar way.

This was gentile of its part.

The arrogance is the American form.
It is a joke, you is playing.
but it is really of the form that vocês is.
They leave for the world, taking off its money and find that everything is its.
It looks at, everything what I made was to give to some people, food…
… one of them was one VC, but God, is not only enough food to it.
but all its history is full of imperialistas conquests.
They kill its indians, keeps the blacks on oppression.
They take the land of who to want. This is not really?
It is., a little of this is truth.
Also we make other things, and it is not looked like nothing of this.
But they had come to the Vietnam, they kill my people, they transform my Country into a brothel.
It is., you snake much tax and can buy bullets.
You can fight in this war without this.
So arrogant. With all the money and machines, never they will gain the war.
We will fight until the last man, never will be able to kill to all.
It can have reason. E as I have.
What it had, what had?
I find that I heard something.

He continues.
He could go faster if he freed my hands.
He could make many things if to desamarrar.
He was almost trusting you. That he drugs.
He is not dull.
I am its prisoner, my duty is to escape at any cost.
A time that to deliver these soldiers, I am deceased.

As it knows if I deserve. This is its Parents? it is not mine?
He is its, of them, the whole world. I do not import myself.
Everything what I know is that my men are deceased, and you he killed.

They had killed all its family.
It will not feed in them.
I do not blame it.

We go, let us see something of this force of iron will.
What said? It in will give food to them.
He uses its finger.
You do not eat to a good time, hã?
He knows, this face hates in them exactly. I can feel.
Exactly thus, it fed in them.
It is., exactly being our enemy.
This does not make to feel it something?
The necessary revolution of food.
The revolution, of the one time…
This face made something more than the any revolution.
It is only being a decent human being.
Nor everybody can be given to this luxury.
Knows which its problem? She is enslaved of its ideas.
One could exist to put of the sun prettiest of the world and it would never see it…
… because it would be agitating the weapons of the revolution and the politics.
It enjoys of its beauty to put of sun, rich American.
The indifference politics is the reason to be here.
E this is what to kill it goes you.
Perhaps.
But, for as there, I thought to feel that this VC, hated to run away.
Or it was its stomach snoring?
Already I ate the sufficient, soldier.

Friends, we go going. We go, we go going.
Its soldiers must be only to some Kilometers of the next village.
My army is in some place in this way. He continues alone.
Nor it thinks. To leave I do not go you.
The Forces of Release are behind us.
Its only possibility is to run away.
Then let us run away.
You do not find that I am being valid the penalty, certain?
Not, he was only thinking how much he has walked the things.

I do not see it as an enemy.
But, I am, Goldman. E if to come back in them we will kill another time.

A Vietnamese family.
She had a son, a mother and a father, and were all deceased.
If they could be livings creature could killed have you.
Not.
Poor agriculturists were alone.
He knows, could be for its friends, as he could have been mine.
Everything what I know is that the first thing that vi…
