Okay, but I can't tell the difference between the people and the enemy.
They all look alike to me.
I'm pretty sure they're the same people, sir.
I understand it can be tough, son, but that's the job.
I have another question.
Um, I hear now they're giving out medals for heroic restraint.
Do I have that right?
Courageous restraint.
And that is right.
Well, I don't mean to be rude, sir, but I do not understand what the f*** that means.
It means, son, that sometimes when you're dealing with an insurgency, you're not gonna be 100% clear on who the enemy is.
It means you're gonna find yourself in situations where, when you're afraid or whatnot, you're gonna have to make a judgment call.
Because, as Sergeant Ortega here has so rightly pointed out, your mission is to protect the people, not kill them.
We can't help them and kill them at the same time.
It just ain't humanly possible.
Do you understand me?
No, not really, sir. No.
What part are you struggling to comprehend, son?
I don't know, sir. It seems to me that we all here with our guns and sh*t, trying to convince these people that... deep down we're actually really nice guys.
And I don't know how to do that, sir, when every second one of them or every third one of them or every tenth one of them is trying to f***ing kill me, sir.
'Cause I'm a marine. 'Cause we're marines.
And it seem like now they handing out medals for heroically not being a marine, sir.
I'm confused, is what I'm trying to say, sir.
Well, then you're just gonna have to get yourself unconfused, son.
