All committee, Reds, red one.
Keep your eyes open, boys.
Over, guys.
See what I'm saying?
Where the hell is everyone?
Hold position.

Culver, you—I know you're upset, but we talked about this, right?
Look, it's a little like football.
I'm the team captain, and now it's time for us to go playing the big game.
But you've never been to war before, just kids for me.

[Music]

Two vehicles down.
Other people need immediate evac.
Copy?
I read one pound away.

Gentlemen, this is a skilled and highly prepared enemy who has coordinated a citywide attack.
Since I'm not gonna be here for Christmas this year, I thought maybe we could celebrate early.
No platoon has been attacked.
I am anxious.
We are all so anxious.
I don't see any hostiles.
Maybe it's over now.
Now they're just regrouping.

I promised I'd get them back safe.
Promise, Tommy.
I'm gonna need all of this to come back.
Everybody rebound.
Thank you, Lord, for all my wonderful blessings.
Bust them for their sacrifice.

[Applause]
[Music]

I just gotta go.
I gotta go help some people.
Why?
Those guys in my platoon and my family too.

[Music]
