Sergeant, what's going on here?
Hoot Oh, just some aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave it behind.
I'm talking about your weapon. Delta or no Delta, that's a hot weapon. You know better than that. Your safety should be on at all times on base.
Hoot (holding up his index finger): Well, this is my safety, sir.
SSG Eversmann
You know, it's kind of funny. Beautiful beach, beautiful sun... this could almost be a good place to visit.
Hoot Almost.
You don't think we should be here.
Hoot You know what I think? It don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.
Col. Harrell
You see where those tires are burning, all that black smoke?
Sgt Streucker
Roger, I can see it, but I can't get there, over.
Go a hundred meters past it. That's the crash.
Struecker Negative. You don't understand. It's roadblock afer roadblock. You have to find us another route. Over.
Harrel
There ain't one. The only other route is all the way around the city.
Struecker Roger that.
Hoot Kilo 6-4, this is Kilo 1-1. Request permission to move to crash site number two on foot. Over.
Unidentified voice
Green light, Kilo 1-1. Green light.
Hoot Stop the vehicle. Let me out.
Sgt. Eversmann
(Hoot removes magazine from the dead Cpl. Smith's rifle.)
What are you doing?
Hoot We need the ammo. (a long pause) You did all you could here.
They should've sent a medivac.
Hoot Well, right now we'd be out there defending another crashed chopper, and more men would get torn up.
Maybe.
Hoot See, you're thinking. Don't. Because, Sergeant, you can't control who gets hit or who doesn't. Who falls out of a chopper, or why. It ain't up to you. It's just war.
Yeah, well, Smith's still dead. If Blackburn hadn't fallen, none of this would've happened.
Hoot Would have, could have, should have - it don't matter. You'll have plenty of time to think about that later. Believe me.
(Sgt. Eversmann finds Hoot gearing up for a mission.)
Eversmann (in disbelief): You're going back in?
Hoot There are still men out there.
