00:00 I just wish you didn't have to go.
00:04 It's my duty to go.
00:05 We're so proud of you, Sam.
00:07 Name, soldier?
00:08 Private Samuel Byrne, sir.
00:10 Byrne, you are in 2nd Regiment, 2nd Company, Hutch 385.
00:14 I am excited that you were selected for Special Force.
00:17 Being a paratrooper is something to be proud of.
00:20 Be the best paratrooper they have.
00:23 Everyone, all in!
00:25 Grab your empty rucksacks and head outside!
00:28 Double time! Let's go! Let's go!
00:30 You guys know where they'll be sending us?
00:32 No idea.
00:33 We must accomplish what we came here for.
00:35 Let's go buy some dames.
00:36 I'm Grace Ford.
00:37 I'm Sam Byrne from Wyoming.
00:39 I sure hope you don't get sent to the war anytime soon.

00:45 I don't know much.
00:47 I'm just a cowboy from Wyoming who never sees the inside of a church.
00:51 But I know God takes no sides anymore.
00:54 This killing is wrong on both sides.
00:57 The good book says, "Greater love hath no man than this,
01:00 that a man gives his life for his friends."
01:03 You saved lives.
01:05 You stopped him from killing more of our men.
01:07 The enemy won't let you sleep just wait until you're laying in mud.
01:10 Haven't eaten or slept in days.
01:11 Bullets buzzing by your head.
01:13 Mortars exploding all over while all you can hear are the screams of fallen soldiers.
01:17 So you will not complain. Do you understand me?
01:19 Today is your last day of training.
01:22 Tomorrow, we go to war.
01:25 We're going to a place where others have tried and failed and so they sent for us.
01:30 I think we're the secret suicide squad meant to take out Hitler.
01:34 (Gunshot)
01:37 (Footsteps)
01:39 (gentle music)
01:41 you
