And, like, here come the jets.
Everybody's, "Yay,jets! Do it to 'em.

:41:05
Get these motherfuckers off our ass.''
You know.

:41:08
'Cause they were diggin'
in our behind real good.

:41:10
And, like, the jet came in
and "Yay,jet, get 'em.''

:41:14
And you see 'em swoopin' all around.
"Yay,jet, get 'em.''

:41:16
And he came over that way
and let it go, and you say, "Uh-oh.''

:41:20
And you could see it's napalm cannister,
because you can tell 'em.

:41:23
They spin asshole over head, backwards
as they're tumbling through the air.

:41:27
And the thing is just tumbling down.
You know it's coming right at you.

:41:31
You know. And, like, wow.
The napalm hit, I grabbed this dude,

:41:34
just put him up over my head
in the hole like that.

:41:37
Fuckin' napalm went down the whole line.
Just creamed everybody in the line.

:41:41
Thirty-five dudes, man,just burnt.
Post-toasty to the bitter, you dig?

:41:44
And that napalm was just drippin' on
both sides of this dude.

:41:47
He's dead, you know. I'm just
holdin' him up, using him as a shield.

:41:50
I just chunked this dude off of me
and just sprung out of the hole.

:41:53
I didn't know which way I was going
outside of back, you dig?

:41:56
And just ran through.
Burned my pants off.

:41:58
Spent the rest of the battle running
with no drawers. My stuff hanging out.

:42:01
You ever try to fight a battle
without any drawers on, man?

:42:04
[Automatic Weapons Fire]
:42:06
Awful sick of it.
I'll be so glad to go home.

:42:10
I don't know. It's the worst area we've
been in since I've been in Vietnam.

:42:14
You think it's worth it?
:42:17
Yeah. I don't know. They say we're
fighting for something. I don't know.

:42:21
I was at a very kind of
sobering thing last night.

:42:26
Memorial service for four men
in the second squadron...

:42:29
who were killed the other day.
:42:31
One of them being a medic.
:42:33
And, uh, the place was just packed.
:42:36
And we sang three hymns
and had a nice prayer.

:42:39
I turned around, looked at their faces,
and they were--

:42:43
I was just proud.
My-My, uh, feeling for America...

:42:48
just soared because of their--
:42:51
The way they looked.
They looked determined...

:42:53
and-and-and reverent
at the same time.

:42:56
But still they're
a bloody good bunch of killers.
