dear Francis

I'm writing you this letter relaxing on

the deck of a luxury liner

just spotted Us by getting up a little

reception

stood up a little tune

the eye ties call it it means our sea I

wonder how to spell it why I'm writing

to my sister

sister you're packed in a landing barge

bouncing on your Merry nostril and

waiting to hit the beach like the rest

of us slobs that's what you're doing

and writing the letter in my head see

and when I get a minute I just put down

what I remember in my head and the

letters are all written it's the best

way

does it work sure you just make up the

letter in your head and then write it

down later

that's pretty good

maybe I'll try

it works huh every time well suppose you

got a bad memory

in an office well I worked in an office

but I was no businessman the whole

Army's made up of businessmen

he'll kill me

he'll be a businessman in 1956 while

we're fighting the battle today

I've got the facts down cold

put him on a nice hospital ship and take

him to a nice hospital and give him a

couple of nice middles and take him home

and give them his Walking Papers

the beach that leads right past six

miles is a long way

what do they expect on the beach a

reception committee with a dozen taxis

that's the story

how's it coming Mike

we better get into a doctor though

he ain't gonna be pretty anymore

he might not be alive anymore either I

guess so

let's try to talk all the time

any words

just talk there's a comfortable Mac he

would know whether he was comfortable or

not

took it

if you don't mind

nearly time

it gets lighter you'll see a road

running from the beach we'll be on that

road

voice tail

voice tail

any other show on that Beach

plenty of a show

take them up 100 yards from the beach

and then hit them directly I've got to

get word to the captain then I'll pick

you up

why don't you let me get word to the cap

remember a hundred yards from the beach

and hit the dirt doesn't matter to me

where you are I don't care if it's in

the pig pen okay

what's wrong at it it did give you the

job you know the lieutenant got wounded

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

all here good dig in what four would be

out of here in a couple of minutes we're

taking no chances big

well I just conquered Italy you can have

it you can have the whole country I

don't want any part of it I ain't gonna

give you any part of it I found the

loving place and it's mine it's yours

cold it can't be cold it's sunny Italy

you read the wrong book I read The

Soldier's handbook I said this was sunny

Italy are you calling the Soldier's

handbook alive what page I forget the

loving page you always forget the loving

page I wouldn't trust you with a pop gun

you gotta trust me with a pop gun and a

machine gunner with a machine gun

things on that beat suddenly went dead

quiet

silence was bad very bad

it's the enemy 50 miles away

was he just behind the beach head

waiting

a machine gun would only start up

and would know what to do

but a man can't fight a vacuum

how long do you think Halverson will

take should be much longer how do you

know I know everything what do you think

they gave me the soldiers medal for

we're pulling a nurse out of a swimming

pool in Savannah

I didn't think you knew I know

everything who held up the platoon for

20 minutes in Sicily while he stuck a

snout in a barrel of wine I'd do it

again if I knew where those are bound

you know where there's a bound

there it goes

we know where we are now all right

I bet they get her in 10 minutes

when they do the war will be over all

we'll have to do is sit here on the

beach and watch the rest of us being

fought out what are you batting your

gums about

oh it's cold

a profound comment

it's always colder done even if I'm up

all night with a girl or playing cards

getting plastic

Don comes around I begin to shiver my

feet grow I see my teeth chatter me um

nothing can warm me the fire wouldn't be

bad no even a fire wouldn't do any good

profound comment

nine and one half minutes to get the gun

well I should have take calverson so

long he'll shall there was no need for

the lieutenant to get hurt no need at

all I've done it anyway

what are you going to do if housing

doesn't come back Porter

how do I know I'll be sending the planes

out here son the planes come over we'll

take a powder if Albertson can take a

pot of wear

try and find that farmhouse

the sun will be up soon

even at nine o'clock in the morning and

the sun I'd still be

why don't ask me why that's the way it

is you guys kill me you kill me sergeant

I want to disjudge I'm all thought out

in the last war I sent a guy to France

that's all there was to it they just

sent him to France to anyone who

simple real simple

but what do they do this time do they

send you to France no they do not submit

a friend they send it to Tunisia then

they send you to Sicily then they send

you to Italy who knows where there's any

after that

maybe we'll be in France next year

around Christmas time maybe

and we'll work our ways Yugoslavia

Greece turkey

[Music]

all I know is in 1958 we're gonna fight

the battle I got the facts kill that so

I want a discharge a honorable distance

I've done my share but the next guy can

pick up where I left off you tell him

jack like a airplane

uh because I was wrong I thought I heard

him

it'd probably be ours anyway

because they'd better be we've got

enough guys in the Air Force

goes Jerry's gun

told you eight minutes

should have been you Revere

always it should have been you it always

is me

archimbo

go take a look down there

every dirty job in the Army is my

personal property nobody's gonna shoot

you go on your gut why the gut then

because I said the gut

you kill me

buttoning

last pack it's a filthy hands off it ask

and I'll give

you call that claw clean

my own dirt I can eat

much

they are kind of dirty

man's hands never seem to get clean even

if you don't touch nothing

just stayed dirty

it's kind of a special kind of dirt

GI dirt

in fact one of them criminologists could

take a sample out of a guy's fingernail

put it under his microscope and say

that's GI dirt

the dirt's always the same color no

matter what country you're fighting in

funny thing I wonder why

never saw that fellat till he moved

camouflage

so yeah I bet that's where GI dirt is

a massage

I think all right Francis a letter about

that

dear Francis you can't see the beach or

the water

it's all stopped no shouting no firing

no sound of Motors the war is over

smells like rain see if you can smell me

a plane just a little while ago the

place was crawling with troops and now

for all we know we might be here alone

planes will be coming soon

they always come soon

if we were in those woods

Iverson said he was yeah I know

halberson said I never saw anything like

it I never saw anything like it in my

life everybody's gone away they forgot

us they don't want us in the war

Iverson must be playing Blackjack down

in the barges

a butt

what happened after the one I just gave

you I sent it home they're cutting down

on the butts at home a butt

a match

thanks

they have friends

what's the dope no dice I didn't see how

was it anywhere

they're bringing down the wounded now

from where I was talking to a couple of

guys down there they ran into some

trouble with that machine gun how about

Halverson I told you I don't know

anything about Alison

I saw Mac though he says the

Lieutenant's dying

Max says if the lieutenant dies he'll go

look by Halverson

the ocean's full of stuff now I guess

they're bringing in the Rolling Stock

the heavy stuff they're bringing in the

place is grown how does the beach look

empty where was the machine gun they

didn't tell me over there somewhere who

didn't touch it the two guys

Hit the Dirt

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

like this war is nothing but waiting

waiting for your child waiting for your

pay waiting for a letter from home

it's a long long time a man spins a

waiting

waiting around in a wall

I think of a girl I've never seen

the hair is

[Music]

the dream

a name is

[Music]

it's a long long time

[Music]

or think of all the things

[Music]

it seems like my life is good

I think I'm gonna spend the rest of my

life here they're crazy

take the subway home here's a nickel the

only nickel I got my last tie with the

states take it it's yours it's worth it

to get rid of you take a tank for a

Frank tank Frank a poet a Shakespeare

the barn of Avenue eight the card of

Avenue way you guys kill me

he's worked to death

he's got those open Period Blues

he had a crawl down to Jones Beach a

little wrecking order he's worked at

been Coney Island for all that yourself

not the other side your face

foreign

hey Sergeant how long are we going to

stay here my tail is cold we'll stay

here little freezes of the ground

there's a lot there to spare and the

idea is where to go Chaska yeah Pike's

Peak if I was there I'd run up backwards

I'd go in my hands pushing a Pinot with

my nose and I take a train railroad's a

jam these days oh for Pete's sake

come on over here with me Bill you two

Hoskins

look something's wrong I know

something's wrong Halverson should have

been back by this time am I right sounds

right there's no sense in it there's no

sense in it at all we hang around here

any long reliable to screw up the whole

works planes will be over soon sure as

little apples they will sure was little

apples I'll be sending a few tanks along

here pretty soon while we're still up in

the air

my idea is we ought to leave somebody

here and case Halverson shows up and go

ahead ourselves while he's waiting six

miles is a long way long and weary way

what do you thinking it's up to you

Eddie you know what you're doing I've

got to know do it then I've got

something of listen

planes you hear anything guns hey

Sergeant it's gun where are they coming

from they're coming from out to see

aren't they I think so okay you sure

topical sure

that's it then must be ship shooting a

plane that's the way it is

sure the lap of the way it is all right

off and on here we go Jake going over in

the woods Squad columns up to it voice

tail

I know we know those ain't our planes

because the ships are ours dope

we've got the only ships in the water

boy I wouldn't be a sailor for nothing

we're gonna stay here ready stay here

for what now listen I don't know I'll

stay okay Bill you stay here ice tail

get moving we haven't got all day get

those squads moving spread them out

we'll be over in the woods Bill leave me

your glasses will you okay

come on shake it shake it

thank you

foreign

over that Ridge like you were back in

Missouri looking for daisies nothing to

worry about

I looked the situation over very

carefully made up my mind there was no

danger so I walked instead of crawled

picked this up for self-protection

where is everybody going over into the

woods afraid planes were headed this way

yeah I tried Bianca

Lieutenant's dead

too bad yeah

Halverson's dead too

dead in the door now are you sure

guy in a company told me

machine gun got him coming out of the

water stitched him right across the

middle that leaves it up the porter

four ways from the Jack what

nothing what's going on down there well

do you mind if I smoke

is it okay

well they're bringing in the big stuff

now

you look close

glad I'm not down on that beach anymore

the place is sure gonna get straight

it sure is we'd better be getting over

to the woods the planes will be here in

a minute

[Music]

noisy put out that blood

now the lieutenant never moved his hands

put devil never even knew

[Music]

dropping sticks on our transport on the

sound of the explosions they missed

that was no mess

don't miss at all

we better sit tight here

and maybe a few Fighters around

somewhere I don't want any fighters to

catch me in an open field I don't want

any fighters to catch me in an open

field either

I wonder what's happening down there now

letting

Lenny plenty

must be a honey of a show on that Beach

I wonder what it'll be like when we hit

France mag

I don't know I never seen France but

it's just a long concrete wall with a

gun every yard

what's happening down there is worth

seeing too

but they'll set the water of fire with

oil too

boy when that day comes I want to be

somewhere else far far away this is bad

enough

this thing's so bad

at least you know where everything is

you're here and the bombs are out there

simple

the Way You Are

guys being killed or

where they are

it's simple yeah I guess you're right we

got a grandstand seat yeah the only

trouble is you can't see nothing that's

the whole trouble with the war you never

get to see nothing you fight them by ear

gotta guess what's going on

you gotta guessing I should see

Sarge can I go take a look you stay away

[Music]

good painter

can I see the planes mag

six of them

is that all

it's not many is it

gee you'd think they'd have a couple of

hundred around up there

[Music]

it's supposed to show you this goes to

show you what

just goes to show you it's funny maybe

there's more coming

[Music]

no

six of them

I tell you what Serge I got an idea

what's the I take the glasses and go

over the ridge there and take a look at

the water we ought to know what's

happening haven't we we ought to know

what's going on we know what's going on

guys it's no point in it no point in

guessing

we got to be getting along

besides you wouldn't go through an open

field with them planes up there would

you

I wouldn't do that

no I wouldn't either

they're out of range now

probably gone at a bigger game

suppose I took the glasses and went over

the ridge maybe there's a new Landing

coming off look we'd want to know if

there was wouldn't it stands to reason

go and take a look Mac go and take a

look it's

just for the record get it off your mind

I think it's a good idea don't hang

around though those bombers may be back

here take a good look

thank you

this is the story of one little job one

day from dawn until noon just one battle

more in a long long War and the men of a

single platoon it was 53 men started out

that day along the Italian Shore

and some of those were mighty good Joes

who never see the sunrise anymore Poor

Boys they'll never see the sunrise

anymore

don't you want to live here

I didn't say I wanted to live here it's

nice country full of opportunity just

look around you opportunity that's the

big thing

this country is full of opportunity you

can have it got a way to talk about a

country where you're a guest they'll

kick you out

no they won't

do you know who you're fighting

a picture and saved kind

ah you can't get the touch in a picture

drawings was all right we didn't have

cameras but now they got cameras so you

don't have to draw that's

why is it screwy

got moving pictures there's no sense in

taking regular pictures you might just

well have a movie on the cover of

magazine some day don't have it Maybe

[Music]

I want to get out of this man's Army me

too move over

[Music]

[Music]

here

where are you from oh we're

reconnaissance see anything around here

not so far

what's your mission objective is some

high ground with a farmhouse on it about

three miles up the road anything up

there I wish I knew

you want me to run out and see

nice if you'd Scout a couple of miles

take a lot off my mind anyway okay it's

the first time I've been to Italy like

Cedar Tennessee

that's the kind of job to have no

walking solid conference between you and

me Jake motorcycles scale a life out of

me I didn't think you were scared of

anything women and motorcycles Jake

but when I run out of but you're being a

rotten mess I'll find a new friend I

feel better

the road's clear it might be all right

after all

how long do you think it'll take him to

get back about 10 or 15 minutes

[Music]

foreign

leaving the ditch we got no orders the

road's easier on my feet simple

it's time that rider was coming back

he's only been gone 10 minutes

everything in the hobby is simple you

live here die I'd still like to be

sitting in his boots

a guy in a motorcycle that's a life well

you've even allowsy hero I like my

confidence all the guys are dead pigeons

High mortality rates all right so what

that was the first sergeant ever saw on

a motorcycle most of them are lucky to

live in May Corporal you ever think

you'll live to make Corporal baby I just

want to live long enough to make

civilian you've got no imagination with

Vera you're alone that's what I am all

right I suppose you still think you'll

be back they may have gone farther than

we thought he would you might have got a

flat he didn't go too far and he didn't

get a flat he ran into trouble did you

hear any firing didn't hear a thing he

ran into trouble listen Eddie I don't

know what's the matter with you or what

you're thinking but you're going to have

everybody with their tongues hanging out

if you don't snap out of it what's

eating you I don't know it'll want to be

on the motorcycle ugly sure it's a life

in that guy's case the question is is it

alive he's probably sitting under a tree

we are reading a book or even as

optimists like you that cause all the

trouble in the world where would he get

a book how do I know where he'd get a

book

last pack I'll let you watch me you are

not a loving pack all I got baby I

dragged consider it well it's a

funny thing how many people you meet in

an army across your path for a few

seconds you'll never see him again who

are you thinking about I know you've

never seen the face before you may never

see it again you can't forget it

thinking about the guy on the motorcycle

Phil I'm scared of the tanks they catch

us on this robe got us cold like macrame

follow good hunting

you stay here watch the road if you see

that Rider coming back wave to me I'll

never stand until then till when till

the Battle of Tibet

every dirty job on the Army has my

personal property

something's up with the sergeant which

sergeant Porter nobody tells me nothing

keep your eyes open if you weren't

smoking your last butts all the time and

getting smoke in your eyes you might

know more about what's going on

but what's the matter with Porter how

should I know I am a doctor

mind's made up

you know once I make up my mind about

something nothing changes it except an

act of God

oh my wife

walking on it

time

when soldiers walk on it

I wrote a letter to my wife

all right

I wrote it in the landing barge it's

hard to write something when you can't

see it why don't you wait till daylight

you never can tell a man don't want to

take no chances I even wrote the

envelope in the dark it looked good how

do you know it looked good I saw it in

the daylight then I give it to Sergeant

Hoskins

what for

to mail for me

he's probably reading it right now I

wouldn't do a thing like that you never

know what sergeants will do they do some

awful funny things he wouldn't do that

there's money in it maybe he's using it

mesh what a rotten filthy stinking no

goodness could have been worse I could

have waited till you all got up there

and then let you have it could have been

a lot worse it's bad enough

you all right vanilla in a pink cousins

okay

of luck

now we've really got a job on our hands

yeah

no element of surprise I've got us cold

they probably got a machine gun in every

window of that house no one can get new

enough to use a grenade we only had a

rocket just one rocket left but we

haven't got a rocket no

how about window dark we can't wait till

dark we've got to get in there and get

in there fast we'll just have to figure

something out

I wonder who they knocked off

it's too far away to see

I hope it ain't anybody I like hoping

anybody I know man either that was

beautiful the way I messed up that house

was beautiful I could do that 50 times a

day you better keep your eyes open

they'll be sending a half back around

this end with a grenade stuck in his

mitt they only have to do that once a

day Knuckles to them I've seen them

coming around my end by the millions

they never gained a yacht around my end

I'm in destructible nobody dies nobody

dies

okay cops

might as careless of firearms

joke

I can't think of a thing

they've got us cold

pretty and cold there's no place for a

gentleman police teacher can I leave the

room you and Tinker

we should have given you some cover too

that would have made any difference

the only thing I hope is I haven't put

through a call or send a couple of Tanks

that'll really put the screws on us I

don't think they will get a lot of

planes around here they'd probably be

afraid the planes would see the tanks

makes you think so I just got a feeling

I just got to feel it too

I wonder frankenstead

oh gee I don't know

all right I guess he's safe where he is

he can hang on

yeah if anybody can hang on Rankin can

hang on

foreign

look at the complications think of all

the trouble it took to make this leaf

you never saw nothing as complicated as

this I'm as complicated as that human

body's most complicated thing in the

world

it ain't no more complicated than this

Leaf sure it is that leaves just a

little thing the human body is a lot

bigger

that's what I mean it's got a lot more

to be complicated about

this Leaf ain't got nothing to be

complicated about when you get right

down to it what's so fancy about it

pains for instance I mean they tell me

that leaves veins is more important than

human veins

I didn't say that I only said look at

them

all right I'm looking I'm so white

in trouble with this map there's no

detail about the farm

it says the wall ends down by the river

we know that already

doesn't show us anything new at all

toss it away

at the river

what did you say

nothing I didn't say anything oh come on

Wendy this is no time to be writing

letters to your sister what did you say

I was thinking that

spit it out

oh I said I'd bet if we tried the river

well what about if we tried the river

well we could Circle a Farm by the river

and then crawl Along by the bank

and maybe he's got something there you

don't want anyone else well how about

forgetting the farm entirely how about

just crawling along the wall and waiting

along the bank of the river till we get

to the bridge and then boom We blow her

how about it huh

so you're a pretty strong guy Wendy

which I'll add to myself all the time

don't sound bad sounds good we'll have

to work fast awful fast

yeah

what we'll do is this

what you take a patrol and go first

Wendy you take another one and follow if

Ward gets jammed you'll in

I'll stay here with the rest of the

Platoon

I'll give you exactly 30 minutes then

we'll humble this wall and head for the

house you can tell when we start because

I'll put Rivera to work you can't help

but no

the crowds will think we're coming up on

this side so they'll pay us all the

attention then you can blow the bridge

as soon as we hear you blow it we'll all

get up and Rush The Joint how does it

sound

sounds right how about you Wendy check

well that's the story then

you cut yourself on a tough job Ty uh

it's suicide I'm a hero we're all heroes

this will be the Good Conduct Medal okay

pick him in

you're too windy

Joe Sam Roy miles

thank you

Ward and windy will tell you what the

setup is it's kind of simple so simple

it could go wrong very easily can't be

any worse than Louisiana maneuvers

all right I don't know what else to say

except

it's a stinking situation right right

good luck okay you gravel agitated let's

go

Jack

to take a note to Rivera

maybe it's Marlene Dietrich has it got

legs I can't see it's the way they walk

in the army

field why don't you hang around where a

guy can get at you

platoon pretty soon

Mary and Joseph there's a lot of good

men going on in this war why don't they

let us alone

palm of my hand I crushed him to a pope

sing let them sing are the men of a

flying platoon let them sing of the job

they've done how they came across the

sea to Sunny Italy and took a little

walk in the sun it's that walk that

leads down through a Philippine town and

it's Highway seven north of Rome it's

the same road they had coming out of

style and bread if that old Lincoln

Highway back home it's where the men's

bike will be free
