:21:00
No. There's been--
How many this year, Doc?

:21:03
Um, 13 men down, 11 of them
were critical injuries--

:21:05
Stop your fucking whining.
Listen to yourselves.

:21:08
Then he only gives us the most
basic medical treatment.

:21:11
Completely substandard services.
:21:13
- Substandard services?
- Yes. Substandard services.

:21:17
It's fucked-up shit, man.
:21:19
I had a friend in Hanoi who had
to repair his own fractured tibia.

:21:24
You cannot begin to compare what went on
in a foreign POW camp 30 years ago--

:21:27
No, you can't compare.
:21:30
I've led real soldiers in more
difficult situations than this.

:21:34
But you're not real soldiers
anymore, and neither am I.

:21:42
There've been murders.
:21:46
Do you know what happens when
you take a rubber bullet to the head?

:21:49
The lights go out.
:21:51
Twice in the last year
there've been accidents...

:21:53
- where men have been
hit in the head and killed.
- Nothing can be proven.

:21:58
We're talking about expert marksmen
shooting from minimal distances.

:22:01
The guards just say the guy
turned his head and boom.

:22:04
It's not a random thing. You get on
Winter's bad side, you're done.

:22:07
When you're doing
combat duty, after awhile,

:22:11
life just becomes snapshots.
:22:14
Most of them horrible.
But not all of them.

:22:19
Three years ago in Bosnia,
I was driving a small unit
through an I FOR town.

:22:25
And I saw something
pretty interesting.

:22:27
I saw an old man
sitting on a bombed-out porch,

:22:30
playing a game of Dominos with
what I presume is his grandson.

:22:33
When I saw that I thought,
you know, it's my turn.

:22:38
I didn't retire after that, as I should have.
I took one last assignment.

:22:43
It was a mistake.
:22:46
So, gentlemen, I'm done.
:22:48
I'm not fighting anyone
or anything anymore.

:22:52
I'm doing my time here,
I'm going home, and God willing,

:22:55
I'm going to sit on the porch
and play a game of Dominos...

:22:58
with my grandson,
who I've never met.
