:17:01
but something that I will always
be thankful that I could do.
:17:06
It brought us closer together.
:17:08
When we started shooting,
we felt a bond,
:17:11
that we'd gone through
something together.
:17:13
When they showed up
they were born-again hard.
:17:16
It helped them understand
that we weren't playing around,
:17:21
we were making
a serious picture about war.
:17:24
We're handed a task here,
:17:26
to do it service, do it right
and effectively and all that,
:17:31
but we also wanna make sure
we're accurately capturing
:17:35
the look behind the eyes
of the guys we're portraying.
:17:39
I told things to the guy in my
hole I never told my confessor.
:17:44
I was closer to these guys
than with my brother.
:17:48
The relations between men
in a squad
:17:51
and how they come
to love each other
:17:54
is something
beyond friendship.
:17:56
Ready to die for each other.
:17:58
There's nothing to compare
it with in civilian life.
:18:02
That is caught just exactly right.
:18:07
- We'll take it, you fall back.
- Be right behind us!
:18:12
They know they should
get out of there...
:18:15
Everything tells them they
should run, but they don't.
:18:18
They stay, and other people see
and come back to help them.
:18:23
They're the ones who win wars.
:18:29
You never knew if you were going
to be around the next morning.
:18:34
It was just one minute
at a time, it was overwhelming.
:18:38
So many people
were being killed around us.
:18:42
We just hoped we wouldn't
be the one left behind.
:18:47
It's frightening for a soldier
that's 18 years old.
:18:51
Each day I'd check
the lists of dead,
:18:54
particularly watching
for my brother.
:18:57
Bob got within two miles of our
lines when he came to a river.
