Generation Kill 1x3

1. I'm on station Three-Zero Mikes.

2. Holding at three share south-west.

3. Holding area Chevy. Carrying four hell fires...

4. Misfit Two-One, this is Recon Three.

5. Solid copy on chickens. Stand by for six line.

6. Grab all the other drivers, fill up the vehicles together.

7. Leon, check the air filter on that Humvee.

8. Check it yourself.

9. Grab me a donkey dick.

10. Damn ruined flats.

11. Donkey Dirty Earl.

12. I can fix anything from a screen door to a broken heart.

13. Trombley, did you eat?

14. Uh, yes, Sergeant.

15. Have you hydrated?

16. Yes, Sergeant.

17. Have you defecated?

18. No, Sergeant. Fuck.

19. Trombley, we have a long day ahead of us.

20. I need you to take a dump now before we get on the road.

21. Hey, before you shit, hand me the bolt cutter.

22. Outstanding job yesterday, gentlemen.

23. Can I help you with something, Gunny?

24. Sergeant, yesterday, we had a trial by fire.

25. Come on.

26. I want you to know, Brad, that I'm here

27. for you and your men.

28. Come on!

29. Are there any combat stress reactions

30. anyone needs to talk about?

31. - Come on... - Remember...

32. I'm a certified combat stress instructor.

33. Fuck! Fuck! I did it again.

34. Oh, we're good, Gunny.

35. But we'd be a lot better if you were getting us a gun lube

36. and batteries we need.

37. That'd about do it for my combat stress.

38. Yeah, mine too.

39. Dirty Earl, you want some worm dirt?

40. Why didn't you do it first?

41. I don't know, sir!

42. Rudy, you ain't got no goddamn common sense!

43. I know, brother!

44. Sergeant Espera caught a bullet too.

45. Fuck!

46. Ready to kill, Gunnery Sar.

47. Stay hard, James.

48. That's where it's hanging up.

49. Now, I get off maybe ten rounds before it jams.

50. Yeah, this shit is totally ineffective

51. in these conditions.

52. We need L.S.A.

53. Lieutenant!

54. Sir, the main weapon on your point vehicle

55. is unreliable.

56. Given the prevailing climatic conditions,

57. using this lubricant is like trying to butt-fuck

58. a virgin underaged Phuket whore with chalk

59. when K-Y's clearly called for, sir.

60. You'll have to deal with it, Sergeant.

61. We have four more towns to assault through today.

62. You want logistics, join the Army.

63. Marines make do.

64. Marines, just want you to know,

65. the company commander feels that it was our team

66. that scored the touchdown yesterday for Godfather.

67. Quit worrying about it, child, get back up on that...

68. Of course, Godfather's happy.

69. He's trying to get his full bird on our backs.

70. At least I got to bust my cherry.

71. My point is, we gotta follow Godfather

72. wherever he leads, no matter how fucked up it happens to be.

73. Sure do.

74. Whatever.

75. Yo, Stafford!

76. Yesterday we ran the gauntlet with no ass

77. and no air, and for what?

78. Fucking artillery blew the shit out of that town

79. after we rolled through it.

80. We're Reconnaissance Marines.

81. Swift, silent and deadly.

82. Hoo-rah.

83. And Godfather knows this.

84. And he knows when he sends us in the shit like yesterday

85. we'll probably come out on top.

86. 'Cause we're the best.

87. But that don't make it right.

88. Hey, Beaver Heart, why you even here?

89. I mean, after yesterday, any cognizant person

90. with a speck of common sense

91. woulda caught the first truck south.

92. Thanks.

93. Yo!

94. Yo, son! You shit on my shitter!

95. Just wipe it off or something.

96. No, Trombley.

97. This shitter's the only luxury I got out here.

98. Screwby.

99. Devil Dog, your aim sucks.

100. Hey, Pappy, if Lance Corporal Trombley's

101. as good with a SAW as he is with a shitter,

102. I think team one has issues.

103. Is it correct to surmise from your sit-rep, sir,

104. that we're gonna be rolling through these towns

105. with a lot of ass today?

106. Yes, Captain.

107. We got kudos directly from General Mattis, I might add,

108. for punching through yesterday where R.C.T.-One failed to go.

109. But now it looks like we're back to being one unit among many.

110. And unfortunately, when we're rolling

111. with the regimental combat team, we can get lost

112. in the middle of all that ass.

113. The only way we're gonna get back into the game

114. and score like we did yesterday,

115. is to find another mission where we could break off.

116. And Captain Patterson, you can depend on Godfather

117. to look for any opportunity to get us back into the game.

118. Count on it.

119. So gentlemen, keep your powder dry.

120. Present for you.

121. L.S.A.

122. Scammed some off the guys in R.C.T.-One.

123. Sir, not to get homoerotic about this,

124. but I could kiss you.

125. Walt.

126. Get that mark-nineteen properly lubed.

127. Now, we're talking about killing some motherfuckers.

128. Matt, hurry up and get off the fucking turret, we gotta go!

129. This place gives me the creeps.

130. Yeah.

131. These guys waving at us are probably the same ones

132. who tried to kill us yesterday.

133. Damn, homes!

134. Hit with R.P.G.'s.

135. Yeah, a buddy of mine in One-Seven

136. had to fucking clean up a Humvee

137. that got hit like that.

138. Said he found the driver's fingers

139. in the engine compartment.

140. How did they know they were the driver's fingers?

141. 'Cause they were still gripping the steering wheel, fuck nuts.

142. We ought to shoot some of these dogs.

143. Trombley, I keep telling you. We don't shoot dogs.

144. We shoot people.

145. And we generally only shoot people if we have to.

146. I'm afraid of dogs.

147. You're afraid of dogs?

148. What, were you bitten in your formative years?

149. My dad was once.

150. Dog bit him and my dad jammed his hand

151. down the dog's throat, ripped up his fucking stomach.

152. Where'd we find this guy, man?

153. I like cats.

154. Remember how the kids

155. would come running out to us in Afghanistan?

156. Yeah.

157. Hitman, this is Hitman Two.

158. Eyes on the village confirms no enemy present.

159. Captain America, bro.

160. Winning the war one souvenir at a time, right?

161. Shit. Get that on video?

162. Fuck, yeah.

163. Fucking scumbag, man.

164. Hey, that's Bravo Three's commander.

165. Check it out.

166. Sergeant!

167. For the life of me, I could only find a black one.

168. Have you located any red ones?

169. No, sir.

170. If you do, you be sure to let me know?

171. Yes, sir.

172. P.F.C. Christeson, now, how far you make it

173. from the berm to the edge of that hut?

174. About a hundred meters. 120.

175. Not bad.

176. About 225.

177. See that beehive-shaped thing?

178. Yeah.

179. That's where they cook their bread.

180. It's always gonna show hot in the thermals.

181. It's all about the windows and doors, man.

182. Entrances and exits.

183. Screwby.

184. Brad? Yeah?

185. I'm, uh...

186. concerned about Captain America.

187. Mm-hmm.

188. Those guys are with R.C.T.-One.

189. What the fuck?

190. We don't have comms with that unit.

191. Fuck, that's women and children.

192. Cease fire!

193. Cease fire!

194. Do not engage!

195. Hold fire!

196. All Hitman Victors.

197. We've been observing this hamlet.

198. It's only women and children.

199. Do not engage.

200. Sir, they're shooting that hamlet in error!

201. Sir, we don't have enough comms with R.C.T.-One

202. and they're shooting that hamlet in error.

203. Laser on.

204. Spot.

205. Seven-one is in heading two-zero-three-zero.

206. Cleared hot. Seven-one admissible way.

207. Hitman Two, this is Hitman Two-Two.

208. Who cleared that helo hot?

209. - This is Hitman Two. - Nothing on our nets, over.

210. Interrogative. Did anyone have positive ID

211. on enemy personnel there?

212. Unaware at this time. Over.

213. Hit range seven-one is off left addressing south.

214. Standing by for PDA.

215. Huh.

216. Roger. Good effect on target.

217. They fucking got good effect on target.

218. Range seven-one copies.

219. Good effects. One building destroyed.

220. Dip?

221. Yeah, thanks.

222. Dawg, we was like 13 or 14,

223. pedaling around in this neighborhood I grew up in

224. just east of L.A.

225. We saw some chollos from another hood,

226. and we thought we was all hard gangbanger wannabes.

227. So we started saying, "Fuck off, yo! Fuck off!"

228. Throwing flashing signs to them and stuff.

229. They start throwing down on us. Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!

230. Kicking our little asses.

231. Then some of the older dawgs from our hood come out,

232. grab those fools, took one behind Tastee Freeze,

233. stabbed him up with a screwdriver.

234. Killed that chollo.

235. See generally, white people,

236. they don't drag the dude behind the Tastee Freeze

237. and stab him to death with a screwdriver.

238. So after that day, I decided,

239. I'm gonna hang with white people.

240. Well, here you are.

241. Chaffin! Excuse me.

242. Chaffin, um, did you get a picture

243. of my girlfriend from Leon?

244. I don't think so.

245. Uh, straight blonde hair, brown eyes.

246. She have a big stain on her face?

247. No.

248. Yeah, haven't seen her.

249. Poke.

250. This town, Ar Rifa,

251. runs right up on the M.S.R. two clicks.

252. Must be 75,000 people in it.

253. Our mission's to haul ass past it.

254. After that, what's next, sir?

255. Haul ass through the next one.

256. Hope the Iraqis keep their heads down.

257. Sir, in that last hamlet, all it took was one shot.

258. That was just an undisciplined grunt from R.C.T.-One.

259. Everybody opened up and schwacked it over nothing.

260. Hey, we can only keep our own honor clean, dawg.

261. What these other motherfuckers

262. do in this big wide A.O. ain't on us.

263. Yeah, it's hard enough

264. just keeping our own guys outta the shit.

265. We can't be worrying about the rest of the world.

266. I know you all saw our own C.O.

267. try to fire off a 203 round in the middle of all that.

268. Fucking Encino Man.

269. But he missed, though.

270. Badly.

271. Look, Brad, you can't live in the past.

272. You need to snap to.

273. We got a lot of shit ahead of us.

274. Roger that, sir.

275. Mount up!

276. All Hitman Two Victors.

277. Quick halt. Herring bone break.

278. Hitman Three is falling behind.

279. Hitman Two. Two-One Bravo set...

280. Two set.

281. Yo, man, how that line go?

282. Q-tip.

283. What?

284. Looks like two men

285. in black pajamas creeping along in our nine o'clock.

286. Two hundred meters.

287. They armed?

288. I think so.

289. Should I light 'em up?

290. Yo, Gunny!

291. Christeson got two foot mobiles

292. maybe with weapons 200 meters to our nine o'clock.

293. If they got weapons, light 'em the fuck up!

294. Hitman Two-Three...

295. Interrogative, uh, what are we engaging in?

296. Hitman Two-One. This is Two-Three.

297. You're shooting too high.

298. All Hitman Two Victors...

299. There you go.

300. Bravo Three...

301. getting ready to push. We're Oscar Mike.

302. Let's go, guys!

303. Battalion is rolling.

304. Maintain suppressive fire.

305. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

306. Go! Go! Go!

307. Hitman, this is Hitman Two.

308. My command Victor's made contact with an R.P.G. team.

309. We have engaged them. How copy?

310. Let's go! We're Oscar Mike!

311. Go! Go!

312. You know what?

313. We were just fighting actual guerrillas.

314. Screwby.

315. Hitman, Hitman, this is Hitman Two.

316. Do you copy? Over.

317. Hitman, Hitman, this is Hitman Two.

318. We've suppressed an R.P.G. team.

319. How copy? Over.

320. Hitman Actual, this is Assassin Actual.

321. Be advised we are taking inaccurate fire

322. from the north-east.

323. Hitman. Hitman, this is Hitman Two.

324. Do you copy? Over.

325. Son of a bitch!

326. Why are we stopping?

327. Fuck.

328. Why the fuck did you stop?

329. Bravo Three got an order from Hitman.

330. I didn't receive any such order.

331. Sir, this is contrary to our S.O.P.

332. We're bunched up in the open

333. and that town is definitely hostile.

334. Hitman, this is Hitman Two. Do you copy?

335. Damn it. Hitman's not on comms.

336. Do you have any information, Sergeant?

337. Why... why aren't we in a defensive position?

338. Sir, all I know is that Hitman ordered my platoon to stop.

339. This is his goat-roedie.

340. Jesus Christ, Nate. You're alive.

341. Dave, what the fuck is going on?

342. You were taken out by an R.P.G. team.

343. Gunny Wynn's dead.

344. If you need a ride, Nate, mi casa es su casa.

345. We've stopped based on an erroneous report.

346. No one in Bravo Two is hit.

347. The hell are we doing here?

348. This is the type of Vietnam shit

349. that gets the whole company wiped out!

350. Sir, I'm worried that there are people in that ville

351. trying to organize a mass R.P.G. attack against us.

352. I think my concerns are reasonable.

353. Sir, do you want us to set up a sniper position?

354. Nate. Nate.

355. Sir, do you want us to set up a sniper position?

356. Push your security out farther. Let's make the best of this.

357. Yes, sir.

358. I'm gonna find the Captain.

359. Tell them to punch out 20.

360. Leon, Christopher, punch out 20!

361. Go, go, go, go!

362. I'm gonna call this one in right now.

363. Sir, that's a cunt hair over 200 meters, sir.

364. That's danger-close for artillery.

365. Danger close?

366. Sir, danger-close is an artillery strike

367. within 600 meters of a friendly position.

368. That would be us.

369. Two hundred meters,

370. that's pretty much on top of our heads.

371. You dumb motherfucker, sir.

372. Even the most boot-fucked Marine knows danger-close.

373. You're way out of line.

374. Skipper!

375. What the fuck is going on here? You weren't on your comms.

376. I'm calling in a fire mission.

377. Sir, I don't like this.

378. These two get their fucking heads together,

379. it's fucking dangerous.

380. It's the oldest play in the book...

381. officers calling in danger-close fire missions to get medals.

382. Lieutenant Fick, you need to square these shitbirds away.

383. You need to N.J.P. that man.

384. Sir, tell me exactly what you're doing.

385. I'm calling in a fire mission on a hunter-killer R.P.G. team.

386. There is no R.P.G. team.

387. I called it in. My men destroyed it.

388. Lieutenant, it doesn't matter if we're right or wrong.

389. You and your men can't disobey orders.

390. An officer who does needs to be relieved of his command.

391. Sir, I'm merely trying to pass you accurate information.

392. This is no hunter-killer R.P.G. team.

393. What is your order, sir?

394. I'm calling in a fire mission

395. at Papa Quebec 059 098 038 degrees,

396. 200 meters. Aye, aye, sir.

397. Steel Rain. Steel Rain, this is Hitman.

398. Fire mission. Over.

399. Sir, should we dig in for the fire mission?

400. There won't be a fire mission.

401. Hitman's using the wrong protocols.

402. What?

403. Hitman has the grid zone designated wrong.

404. There won't be a fire mission.

405. There's a switch.

406. For once, our asses get saved by sheer incompetence.

407. Hitman, this is Steel Rain.

408. Reconfirm grid zone designator.

409. Um, what do you mean?

410. Stand by, Hitman.

411. Break. Break. Assassin, this is Steel Rain.

412. Your grid zone designators are correct.

413. Message to observer.

414. Popeye uniform 1-4-niner, 213 Bravo.

415. Five guns, one round, 8-G delay in effect.

416. Target number Juliet Echo November 1001.

417. Splash in five seconds.

418. Five seconds to splash down!

419. Sir, two hits.

420. Suspected Ba'ath Party headquarters.

421. That's a lotta ordnance we just dropped in the middle of a city.

422. I'm worried about civilian casualties.

423. Hey, looks like Alpha hit something with that.

424. I guess it pays to have the right protocols

425. when you call in a fire mission.

426. I don't see any muzzle flashes.

427. Why do we have to see them?

428. Trombley, shut up.

429. I got flashes!

430. Where?

431. Uh, 200 meters. My eleven o'clock.

432. Uh, second story, white building

433. with the sandbags on the roof.

434. Two buildings behind the roadblock.

435. Yeah, got it. There's heads bobbing.

436. You're cleared to engage.

437. Right on, right on!

438. Die! Die! Die!

439. - Is that it? - Nice.

440. It worked. It worked!

441. Damn, sucker!

442. I just got some.

443. Look at me, Brad. I'm a man now.

444. Just like you except I don't look like a faggot

445. and talk all educated.

446. Watch your sectors.

447. Most people in America right now

448. probably think of Iraq as a dangerous country.

449. Now, if I were to stand up, I might get killed.

450. But to us, behind this wheel, it's pretty safe.

451. So to us,

452. Iraq is a safe country right here.

453. I feel pretty safe. Do you feel safe?

454. Pretty safe, I guess.

455. See? It's all relative.

456. The natives are getting restless.

457. Prayer is a good thing.

458. Maybe it'll keep them too preoccupied to shoot at us.

459. Sir, the scuttlebutt I'm hearing

460. says you may be relieved of command.

461. There could be an investigation.

462. For trying to unfuck Hitman

463. when he's about to drop arti on his own fucking company.

464. That's brilliant.

465. Sir, your leadership is the only thing

466. I have absolute confidence in.

467. I'm assured that I'll have the right to address

468. any allegations before anything is formalized.

469. I'm assured of this.

470. Sir, to highlight my growing lack of confidence

471. in the strategic plan, can you explain

472. why we are strong-pointing this hostile city

473. in tin-plated Humvees while M-one tanks,

474. L.A.V.'s and Amtracs roll past?

475. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

476. I mean, how exactly did this happen?

477. You wouldn't believe it if I told you.

478. Make sure to conserve your fire, it's gonna be a long night.

479. There's no plan for this, Pap.

480. For what?

481. Strong-pointing a walled town with Humvees.

482. It all feels so random, what we're doing.

483. Running here, shooting. Running there, bombing.

484. That might be a legit target burning over there,

485. or it might be a school, Pap.

486. I hope it's legit.

487. I hope this is good karma.

488. Everything here is ancient, Pap.

489. We're in an old, old place.

490. Yep.

491. White flag.

492. Could be some habudabu trickster shit.

493. Let's go.

494. Help, please.

495. Help.

496. Saddam, Fedayeen, shoot.

497. Not you. Saddam.

498. You kill Ba'ath Party, Saddam, very good.

499. Saddam in our city, shooting at you, not us.

500. Yeah? We help.

501. Come, we show you. Come. Come.

502. Captain!

503. Call Battalion.

504. Battalion's on the net.

505. Godfather wants to see you.

506. Keep a handle on this until I get back.

507. In Ar Rifa, this commander taught us something

508. about seizing the initiative.

509. Earlier today when his company came under attack

510. by Fedayeen para-military forces,

511. laying in ambush with R.P.G.'s,

512. he chose to stop and bring the fight to them.

513. Captain Patterson, greetings.

514. Sir, I need the translator.

515. We just knocked out the Ba'ath Headquarters.

516. We have an opportunity to exploit...

517. There's a school of thought

518. that says we shouldn't have stopped,

519. particularly given the proximity to a hostile city.

520. But this kind of aggressiveness

521. is what I mean by interrupting

522. the enemy's own decision-making cycle.

523. It's against all doctrine,

524. but as the general often reminds me,

525. doctrine is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

526. Fact is, I just got off the nets with Chaos

527. and the general is impressed with our initiative.

528. We are on his radar screen.

529. Gentlemen, we're coming out from beneath all this ass

530. and getting back into the game.

531. He's given us a tasker.

532. This is the Qalat Sukhar airfield.

533. A British paratroop regiment

534. is staging to hit the field at dawn.

535. The general has advised me that they're running late.

536. He suggested... if we're up for it...

537. that we can get to the field first.

538. To do this, we have to cross 40 clicks.

539. Godfather needs an airfield.

540. Sir, we have good intelligence

541. from the locals on the Ba'athist

542. and Republican Guard units in this town.

543. We can exploit the information...

544. There's no time.

545. We're pulling out of here in the next hour.

546. See to it, gentlemen.

547. All you find, we find.

548. Together.

549. Meesh, seriously, what is this guy trying to tell me?

550. Eh, they are glad to be liberated.

551. Okay, I got that.

552. But what is he trying to tell me right now?

553. They want to show us the locations

554. of the Republican Guard,

555. Ba'ath Party and Fedayeen forces.

556. Maybe some weapon caches, maybe some chemical weapons.

557. Okay, then.

558. It looks like we got our work cut out for us.

559. Tell this man he's gonna come with us.

560. Tell him I'm gonna take him back to talk to...

561. No, no, do, do, do, do, no.

562. That's not how we're rolling, eh?

563. We are pulling out of here soon.

564. But rest assured, Godfather has a legit plan

565. to exploit the situation.

566. We are going to give these righteous people...

567. I.R. chemlites.

568. They're going to set them up where the bad guys are

569. and mark them for the bombers who are going to bomb the shit

570. out of whatever's marked.

571. American Air Force.

572. The best in the world.

573. How do we know this guy isn't just gonna put

574. these chemlites on the homes of people he owes money to?

575. How do we know for sure that he's even on our side, Meesh?

576. How do we know anything unless... unless we properly debrief

577. these people and check their intel?

578. Here.

579. No thanks, Meesh.

580. Okay, it's not the good shit but it's local brewed.

581. Oh, you should write this down, reporter.

582. See, the war's actually not about pussy.

583. It's about NAMBLA.

584. You know, North American Man Boy Love Association.

585. See, places like Thailand

586. where the used to fuck little boys and shit,

587. they're drying up.

588. We're opening up Iraq for a whole new supply of kids, man.

589. Ray, please.

590. I'm trying to gauge the approach to our target.

591. Right.

592. 'Cause we're gonna drive 40 clicks off-road

593. in the dark to an airfield

594. with Republican Guard on it by ourselves.

595. And they say that I did too much acid in high school.

596. Christ, the business end of Mattis's crack pipe

597. must be hot to the fucking touch.

598. Brad, listen, there's no way that we can go 40 clicks...

599. Get down. Why?

600. Get down!

601. What?

602. - Hold your fire! - Hold your fire!

603. Holy fuck.

604. Give me your headset.

605. Always hating on the Mexicans.

606. Hitman Two, this is Two-One.

607. That is a friendly unit northbound on the M.S.R.

608. firing on our position.

609. I say again, that is blue-on-blue fire.

610. They're northbound toward Assassin's position. How copy?

611. Those are fucking reservists. I saw the markings.

612. Hitman Two-One, this is Hitman Two. Copy.

613. You all right?

614. Yeah, I think so.

615. I'm fucking wet.

616. Hey. Hey! Did you piss on me?

617. Don't fucking tell me I have reporter piss on me.

618. Brad, they shot our fucking water cans!

619. We're Oscar Mike.

620. Damn it.

621. Forty clicks. No fucking water.

622. Fuck it, at least you're dry.

623. All Victors, this is Godfather.

624. Stand by. HS has a truck down.

625. Stop.

626. Start, stop. Start, stop.

627. Jesus!

628. I'm beginning to think Godfather's

629. just a big cock tease.

630. I can't believe they shot a hole in the fucking tire.

631. You guys all right?

632. That was some bullshit. Trigger-happy reservists.

633. Hey, Iceman.

634. Can you believe those fucking reservists?

635. They just shot us up.

636. It was shock-trauma. Bunch of fucking doctors.

637. Didn't they have to take an oath or some shit

638. against fucking people up?

639. You need some security while you do this.

640. I'll get with the L.T.

641. Belay that, Devil Dog!

642. Godfather's gots a mission and that mission is now.

643. Abandon this vehicle.

644. Put your asses on another vehicle.

645. Let's get moving.

646. But Sergeant...

647. No buts!

648. Youse asses ain't in gear ten minutes ago,

649. youse in direct disobedience of a direct order

650. from Godfather hisself!

651. What are you carrying?

652. Battalion's chow, M-16's, ammo,

653. about 400 pounds of C-4,

654. a couple a cases of claymore mines.

655. All kinda shit like that.

656. Get you bubbas

657. in a running truck and load up right now! You hear me?

658. Two-One, this is Hitman Two.

659. Interrogative. Where's the turn? Over.

660. Hitman Two, this is Two-One.

661. It's coming right up. 1-0-0 meters. Over.

662. Two-One, it better be.

663. I can you assure that Godfather's watching.

664. Dude, I am so lost right now.

665. Don't worry about it, buddy. I know where we're going.

666. We past seven villages. There's one more.

667. Hey, do you remember

668. the gay dog episode of "South Park"?

669. The one where, uh, Sparky runs away

670. 'cause he's humping all those other dogs and shit?

671. Yes, Ray, I... I do remember it very well.

672. But I don't see what relevance this has on our present status.

673. There's the hamlet... our turn.

674. Hitman Two, this is Two-One.

675. We're making that turn now. Over.

676. Roger that. Nice job. Over.

677. Hey Brad, do your Big Gay Al for me.

678. Come on, buddy?

679. Do it for your old pal Ray,

680. the one who made the right turn.

681. Well, hello there, little pup.

682. I'm Big Gay Al.

683. Have you been outcast?

684. Fuck, yeah.

685. They had this gay bar open up

686. in the town where I'm from in Michigan

687. and people trash it every night.

688. They had to close it after a month.

689. See, but there's money in that, Trombley.

690. Did I tell you I'm gonna open my own gay bar

691. when I get back home?

692. It's gonna be called the Golden Stream

693. and it's gonna be like this big urinal, right?

694. And there's gonna be this two-way mirror

695. that everybody pisses against.

696. That way, when you're sitting at the bar having drinks,

697. there's like all these big fucking giant cocks

698. just pissing right at you.

699. Corporal, are you a faggot?

700. You know what? I'm gonna franchise that shit.

701. You can have Michigan, Trombley.

702. Very lucrative territory, homosexually speaking.

703. That's not funny, Corporal Person.

704. Ray, give it a rest.

705. Echo-Five-Charlie.

706. Echo-Five-Charlie. This is Echo-Five-Echo.

707. Interrogative.

708. How much further to the airfield?

709. Echo-Five-Echo, I don't copy.

710. Sergeant?

711. What?

712. I just lost my helmet.

713. What do you wanna do, hold a funeral?

714. Sergeant.

715. We ain't going back for it, Gabe.

716. Get me General Mattis.

717. Chaos Actual, this is Godfather.

718. Stand by for traffic. Over.

719. Roger, send traffic. Over.

720. Sir, we got Chaos on the net.

721. Chaos, this is Godfather.

722. The teams are out now getting eyes on the field. Break.

723. Will have complete sit-rep for you within five Mikes.

724. How copy? Over.

725. Solid copy.

726. Roger that. Out.

727. Chaos is waiting. The Brits are in the air.

728. But our U-2 surveillance picked up

729. four possible T-72 tanks on the Iraqi field.

730. If our eyes affirm this intel,

731. Chaos needs to abort the British assault.

732. They hit the point of no return in under 30 Mikes,

733. so where the fuck are my eyes on that field?

734. Assassin Actual, Godfather needs

735. your sit-rep ASAP. Over.

736. Roger that. Stand by.

737. Assassin Two-Three, this is Assassin Actual.

738. How copy?

739. Assassin, this is Assassin Two-Three.

740. We are one click out, 40 Mikes from objective.

741. I say again, four-zero Mikes. Over.

742. Roger.

743. Alpha's 40 Mikes away from getting eyes on the field.

744. These guys have bitched and moaned,

745. moaned and bitched that I haven't given them

746. a legitimate recon mission.

747. I finally give them one and they fucking fail me.

748. We don't have that option. We will recon that field.

749. We will recon it in force.

750. I want the entire battalion Oscar Mike

751. inside of ten minutes.

752. Sir, that's not a reconnaissance mission.

753. That's an assault. Semantics.

754. What about the T-72's?

755. The violence of action is to our advantage.

756. I'll request the division adjust the R.O.E. accordingly.

757. Roger that, sir.

758. Assassin Actual, this is Godfather.

759. Abort that mission. R.T.B.

760. Interrogative.

761. You want me to return to base?

762. Affirmative.

763. All Hitman Two gunners be advised.

764. Alpha has a team re-entering friendly lines to the north.

765. How copy?

766. Brad.

767. Get your team ready.

768. We're assaulting the airfield.

769. Less than ten Mikes.

770. Wake up.

771. Walt, range the mark-19 as far out

772. as you feel comfortable engaging targets with good effect.

773. What about Alpha's recon?

774. They're out of time.

775. Oh, humma.

776. They fucked it.

777. We're going up against tanks.

778. Let's go! Mount up!

779. - Hey, grab a... - Let's mount up!

780. It's our race. Two-Two's up.

781. Young man, if you have to do number one, go now,

782. 'cause once I start the car, I am not stopping.

783. Naked Marine, the Internet loves you.

784. Get your ass back in the vehicle!

785. Where's Lilley?

786. Lilley! Lilley!

787. We're Oscar Mike, man. Move it!

788. You really are gay, aren't you?

789. Bro, I'm an auteur.

790. This is Godfather.

791. Godfather Actual has declared all Iraqis hostile

792. in proximity to the objective. How copy? Over.

793. Affirmative. Copy that.

794. Godfather just changed the rules of engagement.

795. He's lowered the bar.

796. Shit, he's removed the bar.

797. New R.O.E. has all Iraqis

798. on or near that airfield declared hostile.

799. Free fire zone?

800. I'm not passing that word.

801. Keeps this change in the R.O.E. off our net.

802. Got any comms with those A-10's?

803. Negative.

804. Those jets are goddamn Air Force.

805. They shoot Marines.

806. You know, that map showed fences.

807. If there's fences, we're gonna need the bolt cutters.

808. They're under the reporter's seat.

809. Hey, can you lift your ass in a hurry

810. if we need to get to those bolt cutters?

811. Ah, I think so.

812. You have to get out of the Humvee to open it.

813. I don't see a fence anyway.

814. Uh, do you need them now?

815. Charlie just cleared a guard tower.

816. Cause I... No!

817. What is it, Walt?

818. Fucking shit.

819. The Mark-19's jammed.

820. Hitman Two, this is Two-One.

821. Our Mark-19 is down.

822. I say again, our main gun is down.

823. Shit!

824. Either unfuck it now

825. or get on your fucking SAW!

826. I'm trying.

827. I see men running 200 meters, ten o'clock.

828. Are they armed?

829. There's something.

830. Well, the order is everyone's declared hostile.

831. Light 'em the fuck up.

832. Oh, shooting motherfuckers like it's cool.

833. Fuck!

834. - All right, gents. - Keep your heads on a swivel.

835. Maintain your dispersion.

836. Everybody stay on the line.

837. All Hitman Two Victors maintain dispersion.

838. Target building 500 meters ahead.

839. Break. Hitman Three is holding our flank. Over.

840. Hitman Two, this is Two-One.

841. Tank, north-west side of the warehouse. Over.

842. This is Hitman Two. Affirmative.

843. - They appear to be stationary. - No personnel.

844. Hitman Two, this is Hitman Two-Three.

845. I have an unmanned ZPU 57 tack two.

846. Appears to be abandoned. Over.

847. - Two-Three, this is Two. - Copy that.

848. He's got his fucking bayonet out.

849. Doing his Rambo.

850. Follow my tracers!

851. He's shooting at scraps of metal.

852. Can you believe that fucking retard is in charge of people?

853. Jesus Christ.

854. Engage those buildings.

855. Sir, that's more than 3,000 meters away.

856. Range of my 50 is 1830.

857. Move into position! Engage! Engage!

858. Should I light them up?

859. No, we're not engaging.

860. Those aren't military buildings.

861. They're civilian huts.

862. Yeah. Looks like Saddam's big bad Republican Guard Hajis

863. got wind I was coming.

864. As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said,

865. “If the day does not require an A.K., it is good.”

866. Stick around to man those, we'd have been dead

867. before we even saw them.

868. Dude, lighten up.

869. Then again, the world wouldn't have to deal

870. with the prospect of you returning to your cretinous,

871. daughter-fucking trailer-park, red-state shit-hole

872. and producing mutant, Whiskey Tango, scrotum-faced,

873. bucktooth, zit-exploding progeny.

874. Heads up.

875. I need a channel to division main.

876. Lance Corporal Trombley, channel five.

877. Sir.

878. Chaos, this is Godfather.

879. Send it.

880. Be advised, we have seized the enemy airfield.

881. Early reports are we've captured several enemy tanks

882. and self-propelled triple-A batteries.

883. It appears that we've overrun

884. the entire 255th mechanized regiment, who have fled.

885. And sir, we've sustained zero casualties.

886. Outstanding.

887. Thank you. Roger that. Out.

888. Is that the British paratroopers?

889. No, we scrubbed their mission.

890. We got here first.

891. Gentlemen, we just seized an airfield.

892. That was pretty fucking ninja.

893. Christopher, go get some dried camel shit.

894. Make a fire...

895. Just keep it dry.

896. I know they're heinous, bro.

897. I'm living in it.

898. Holy fuck.

899. Jesus.

900. That feels good.

901. Smells like dick cheese.

902. When's the last time you took your boot off

903. and gave your paws some air?

904. Come on, Doc. Give it a rest.

905. You know we can't.

906. They order us to sleep in the damn thing.

907. Got some good news.

908. We're so far ahead of R.C.T.-One,

909. we'll be here a good 24 hours before they show up.

910. However, there is a bit of concern in some quarters

911. about being overrun, since we don't really know

912. what's around us out here. So make sure you maintain

913. 50% watch and your comms are good.

914. We got pre-register on-call artillery if we want it.

915. Sir, has any thought been given

916. to destroying the weapons and ordinance

917. that are sitting over there?

918. Actually, that did come up.

919. But it seems the Battalion's supply

920. of C-4 is now unaccounted for.

921. The Battalion supply truck we left last night?

922. It is a smoldering heap of twisted metal

923. and failed hopes in the trustworthiness

924. of the Iraqis we are striving so hard to liberate.

925. What does that mean, sir?

926. It means we're on one meal a day.

927. Holsley as your people say, my feet be stanking!

928. I'm just saying I'm surprised is all, Brad.

929. I mean, aren't you surprised?

930. Shut the fuck up.

931. I mean, I... I'm betting that they were thinking

932. that they could just, you know,

933. leave a fully loaded supply truck laying around

934. just like you could anywhere in America, you know?

935. I mean, you park your unlocked car

936. in Detroit or Baltimore, I mean,

937. your shit's gonna be there guaranteed when you get back

938. from the day spa with your skin all exfoliated and shit, right?

939. I mean seriously, Homes.

940. Why would our Iraqi brethren

941. want 400 pounds of C-4, claymores and crates of M-16?

942. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.

943. Oh, wait. You know, they could be using

944. all that C-4 for like a giant Fourth of July celebration.

945. What do you think, Brad?

946. I think it's time for you to shut the fuck up.

947. Hey, nice job shooting those camels, Trombley.

948. Uh, I think I shot one of those Iraqis too.

949. I saw him fall.

950. All we saw was camels going down.

951. You camel killer.

952. Look, I didn't mean to shoot innocent camels, all right?

953. I'm sure I shot people.

954. Shouldn't you two be doing the after-action report

955. on Alpha's failed recon mission?

956. What's this about you losing your Kevlar?

957. It bounced off my head, Sergeant Major, last night.

958. Bounced off your head.

959. I was up on the 50-cal and the Humvee

960. went over a berm, Sergeant Major.

961. That Kevlar wasn't yours to lose!

962. That was the property of this United States Marine Corps!

963. Belong to every Marine!

964. 'Cause of your failure to secure that hamlet,

965. you've jeopardized every Marine serving today!

966. Sergeant Colbert!

967. This is what happens when you don't enforce

968. the grooming standards.

969. The mens gets all lax

970. and then other standards fall.

971. Devil Dog here stops using his chin strap,

972. goes over a bump, Kevlar goes flying off his head

973. and our protective posture is weakened.

974. Roger that, Sergeant Major.

975. I'm not the fucking retard

976. who lost the whole supply truck.

977. Give me an A-toc.

978. I'll get anything out to 700 yards.

979. What are they dragging?

980. Think they want something?

981. One humanitarian ration for two blowjobs.

982. That's the going rate in this part of the world.

983. Stine-y, give me a hand.

984. Stop.

985. Hey, buddy. Can you hear me?

986. Kid's been zipped with 556.

987. Marines shot this kid.

988. Fucking jackasses.

989. Trigger-happy motherfuckers.

990. Doc, is there anything I can do?

991. Yeah.

992. Stine-y, get me the Battalion Surgeon.

993. Needs to casevac this kid, or he's dead.

994. Done.

995. Christeson, Stafford, two stretchers to Doc,

996. twelve o'clock.

997. You're a very brave kid.

998. He's very strong, all right?

999. - Doc. - Yeah?

1000. Been hit by a 556.

1001. Blew out his calf muscle but there's no arterial bleeding.

1002. He'll make it.

1003. Roger that.

1004. Why aren't they angry?

1005. They are grateful to be liberated

1006. and welcome the Americans as friends.

1007. These mistakes are unavoidable in war.

1008. Bullshit.

1009. We're fucking recon Marines.

1010. Our whole fucking job is to observe

1011. to not make these kinds of mistakes.

1012. We don't fucking shoot unarmed kids.

1013. Where did this happen?

1014. Dude, they were tending their camels and shit.

1015. So who knows where it was?

1016. Fuck, man. Trombley did this.

1017. Sir, priority one surgical pediatric.

1018. Four bullet wounds to the abdomen.

1019. One 44 tack weak, 30 rests, 90 over palp.

1020. He's, uh, stable for now.

1021. Godfather's denied the request to casevac the boy.

1022. Well, we need to casevac him or he's dead.

1023. I'll go ask the Battalion Commander again.

1024. Thank you, sir.

1025. Shot by that asshole, Trombley, Brad.

1026. This kid's been zipped by 556 from Trombley's SAW.

1027. Don't put this on Trombley.

1028. I'm responsible.

1029. Yeah?

1030. Well, 20 other Marines drove by them and didn't shoot.

1031. So, why don't we bring Trombley here and see what he's done.

1032. Don't say that. It... it was my order.

1033. What can I do here?

1034. Not a fucking thing, apparently, Brad.

1035. There's gotta be something we can do.

1036. Under the rules, we have to provide him

1037. with care until he dies.

1038. Yeah. Well, so?

1039. Put him in my care.

1040. I'm billeted next to the Battalion Commander.

1041. If he's in my care and Godfather

1042. has to watch him die, he might change his order.

1043. Right, let's do this.

1044. Yeah, it's the only chance we got.

1045. All right, on three, yeah? Gentle.

1046. Ready, one, two, three.

1047. Ready?

1048. Let's go.

1049. What the hell's going on here?

1050. We brought him here to die.

1051. Gets him the fuck outta here.

1052. Stafford.

1053. Set him down over here.

1054. Sergeant Major, what the fuck is going on?

1055. Sir...

1056. Bravo Two in rebellion,

1057. 'cause they thinks they shot an Iraqi child.

1058. Does he want water? Keep him still.

1059. You're requesting that I send

1060. this wounded civilian to the R.C.T. for aid.

1061. Problem.

1062. Our tactical situation is extremely precarious here.

1063. These are the northernmost Marines' positions

1064. and we are 30 clicks north of them.

1065. We are far behind enemy lines.

1066. We have incomplete intel as to the disposition

1067. of the Iraqi units here, here and here.

1068. We don't even know what happened to the 4,000 troops

1069. that were at this airfield six hours ago.

1070. And there's only 350 of us.

1071. What can be done?

1072. Option One.

1073. Casevac by helicopter doesn't exist.

1074. Army, Marines are engaged, taking casualties.

1075. Last night, the Iraqis stopped the Army advance.

1076. They turned back 36 Apache helicopters.

1077. Shot a few down.

1078. Option Two.

1079. I detach a platoon and have them drive

1080. 30 clicks through enemy lines to the shock-trauma unit here.

1081. If any of you were a casualty right now,

1082. I don't think I could casevac you.

1083. But supposing I could,

1084. I imagine there are some of you think

1085. we have to give wounded civilians

1086. every consideration we would give ourselves.

1087. That is not true.

1088. The R.O.E. say we have to give them

1089. the same medical care they would get

1090. by local standards.

1091. The standards here are fucking zero.

1092. It's a shitty situation for us

1093. but nobody put a gun to our heads

1094. and forced us to come here.

1095. We're all volunteers.

1096. Get me Captain Patterson.

1097. Yes, sir.

1098. Assassin Actual, this is Godfather Five.

1099. Godfather Five, this is Assassin Actual. Send traffic.

1100. Be actual on the net. Over.

1101. Standing by.

1102. I'm dispatching an Alpha platoon

1103. to take this child to the shock-trauma unit.

1104. Huddle up, we're gonna talk.

1105. Ray.

1106. This is Echo-Four-Charlie.

1107. Two-One Bravo's gone.

1108. Echo-Three-Lima is off on Two-One Bravo.

1109. We made a mistake today,

1110. collectively and individually.

1111. We must get past this.

1112. We can't sit around and call it quits now.

1113. We have fighting ahead.

1114. Look, guys, we're Americans.

1115. We must make sure when we take a shot,

1116. that we are threatened.

1117. You gotta see that these people are just like you.

1118. You gotta see past the huts, the camels,

1119. different clothes they wear.

1120. You know, these are people in this fucking country.

1121. This family here might lose a son.

1122. We shot their camels, too.

1123. One camel could be a year's income to them.

1124. We're not here to destroy their way of life.

1125. Trombley, you have to be prepared for the possibility

1126. of a formal investigation into the shooting.

1127. You need to write it up.

1128. Keep your head up.

1129. Is it gonna be okay, Sergeant?

1130. I mean, this investigation.

1131. You'll be fine, Trombley.

1132. No, I mean for you, Sergeant, since you gave all the orders.

1133. I... I don't care about any of this, you know?

1134. I mean, I'll be out in a couple of years.

1135. But you.

1136. Sergeant, this is your career.

1137. I'll be fine.

1138. Hitman Two-Three, this is Hitman Two-Two.

1139. What's my six? Taking a dump.

1140. Roger that.

1141. I don't wanna sound like I'm defending Trombley

1142. or anything, but how come nobody remembers

1143. that they declared everybody hostile?

1144. I mean, they told us to shoot at everybody.

1145. Yeah.

1146. But you know what's even more fucked up?

1147. Trombley only shot two bursts, maybe seven rounds.

1148. I mean, we're bumping down a dirt road.

1149. His targets are like 200 meters out

1150. and he hits exactly what the fuck he's shooting at?

1151. I mean, fuck, man.

1152. The boy is a cold-on, dead-eye killer.

1153. Yeah, no shit.

1154. It's 'cause he's a psycho.

1155. But at least he's our psycho.

1156. You all right, reporter?

1157. Yeah, I'm just sucking wind.

1158. What happened today, um...

1159. You need to square those walls.

1160. You'll never make any progress digging that way.
