Pogue Colonel:
Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker:
A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Where'd you get it?
Private Joker:
I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker:
"Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel:
You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker:
No, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker:
Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker:
I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
The what?
Private Joker:
The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Whose side are you on, son?
Private Joker:
Our side, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Don't you love your country?
Private Joker:
Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Joker:
Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel:
Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Private Joker:
Aye-aye, sir.

Marine, what is that button
on your body armor?
00:00:05.087 --> 00:00:07.132
A peace symbol, sir.
00:00:07.305 --> 00:00:09.899
-Where did you get it?
-I don't remember, sir.
00:00:10.341 --> 00:00:12.206
What is that written on your helmet?
00:00:12.377 --> 00:00:13.867
Born to kill, sir.
00:00:14.999 --> 00:00:17.001
You write born to kill on your helmet
and wear a peace button.
00:00:17.215 --> 00:00:19.547
What's that supposed to be,
some kind of sick joke?
00:00:19.717 --> 00:00:22.277
-No, sir.
-What is it supposed to mean?
00:00:22.453 --> 00:00:23.818
I don't know, sir.
00:00:23.988 --> 00:00:25.478
-You don't know much.
-No, sir.
00:00:25.623 --> 00:00:28.888
Get your head and your ass wired together
or I will take a shit on you.
00:00:29.999 --> 00:00:30.789
-Yes, sir.
-Now answer my question...
00:00:30.962 --> 00:00:33.328
... or you'll be standing tall
before the man.
00:00:33.498 --> 00:00:36.456
I was trying to suggest something
about the duality of man, sir.
00:00:36.634 --> 00:00:40.229
-The what?
-The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.669
-Whose side are you on, son?
-Our side, sir.
00:00:43.841 --> 00:00:45.468
-You love your country?
-Yes, sir.
00:00:45.643 --> 00:00:47.235
How about getting with the program.
00:00:47.412 --> 00:00:49.835
Jump on the team and come on in
for the big win.
00:00:50.003 --> 00:00:51.997
Yes, sir.
00:00:51.215 --> 00:00:55.675
All I've asked of my Marines is for them to
obey my orders as they would God's word.
00:00:55.853 --> 00:00:57.582
We are here to help the Vietnamese...
00:00:57.755 --> 00:01:01.068
... because inside every gook
there is an American trying to get out.
00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:03.052
It's a hardball world, son.
00:01:03.694 --> 00:01:07.999
We've gotta try to keep our heads
until this peace craze blows over.
00:01:07.498 --> 00:01:08.001
Aye, aye, sir.
00:01:18.976 --> 00:01:22.999
Hey, bro. We're looking for 1 st Platoon,
Hotel Two-Five.
00:01:22.088 --> 00:01:24.001
Around the back.
00:01:33.291 --> 00:01:36.001
-First Platoon?
-Yeah, through there.
00:02:00.003 --> 00:02:02.143
Hey, Lone Ranger.
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:09.001
-Holy shit. It's the Joker.
-You old motherfucker.
00:02:14.999 --> 00:02:15.999
What's happening?
00:02:16.994 --> 00:02:19.922
Thought I hoped I'd never see you again,
you piece of shit.
00:02:20.999 --> 00:02:21.999
What's happening, man?
00:02:22.001 --> 00:02:25.529
Oh, just waiting to get back
to the land of the big PX.
00:02:25.001 --> 00:02:27.666
Yeah? Well, why go back?
00:02:27.845 --> 00:02:29.369
Here or there, samey-same.
00:02:29.547 --> 00:02:31.999
-Been getting any?
-Only your sister.
00:02:31.999 --> 00:02:35.511
Well, better my sister than my mom,
though my mom's not bad.
00:02:36.012 --> 00:02:38.714
Hey, you Hogs, listen up.
00:02:38.999 --> 00:02:42.997
This is my bro, Joker, from the lsland,
and this is...?
00:02:42.226 --> 00:02:44.999
-Rafterman.
-Rafterman.
00:02:44.999 --> 00:02:47.999
They're from Stars and Stripes.
They'll make you famous.
00:02:47.001 --> 00:02:48.001
-Fucking A.
-Yeah.
00:02:48.833 --> 00:02:50.755
We're the Lusthog Squad.
00:02:50.935 --> 00:02:53.495
We're life-takers and heartbreakers.
00:02:53.999 --> 00:02:57.001
We shoot them full of holes
and fill them full of lead.
00:03:01.999 --> 00:03:04.999
You a photographer?
00:03:05.075 --> 00:03:08.031
No, I'm a combat correspondent.
00:03:09.999 --> 00:03:11.001
Oh, you seen much combat?
