Lt. Lockhart:
Joker, maybe you'd like our guys to read the paper and feel bad? In case you didn't know it, this is not a particularly popular war, and it's our job to report the news that the why-are-we-here civilian newsmen ignore.

You'd like our guys to read
the paper and feel bad?
In case you didn't know,
this is not a popular war.
Our job is to report the news that the...
..."why-are-we-here"
civilian newsmen ignore.
Maybe you should go out
on some ops yourself.
You could find more blood trails
and drag marks.
I've had my ass in the grass.
Can't say I liked it much.
Lots of bugs and too dangerous.
My present duties keep me where I belong:
In the rear with the gear.
Tet. The Year of the Monkey.
Vietnamese Lunar New Year's Eve.
