Stallone wrote this. He doesn't get enough credit as a screenwriter.

hairbandfan1967 I read a story by Joe Eszterhas where after the latest Rocky came out (in about 2007 or so), Stallone said it reminded him about how much he enjoyed writing screenplays, and he wondered aloud as to why he hadn't done that in a long time. "Because you've had your face in pussy for the last 30 years," Eszterhas responded. "Yeah, that's probably right," Stallone retorted.

I am shocked at all the credit Stallone DOES NOT get for his brilliance in writing, directing as well as acting. People just make fun of the outter appearance but this shit went deep...so deep I have not been able to stop thinking about it. It hit me just as hard as Deer Hunter did...Bravo Stallone!!

This reminds me of a painting I saw about twenty years ago. It was a Samurai in the style of Feudal Japan, at least I think it was. I just remember it being so damn intense! Until you got to the eyes. They were just two soulless black pits, seemed to go on forever. There was no soul in them. You see, the samurai was like mercenaries are today, warriors for hire, just fighting for whoever had the most coin in their purse. No loyalty. No soul. It’s sad, really.

The smartest part of this whole scene is Stallone's reaction at the end. No horrible one liner or come back to try and break the tension. No screams of anguish, no other speeches about Barney's own regrets. He quietly turns and walks away. That silence at the end of the monologue is what really ratchets the impact up a few notches.

In war, in all that killing, one of the hardest things to deal with is innocence being lost. In Kosovo, I saw mass graves, dead bodies, and small arms skirmishes. Nothing was worse for me than seeing a kid run naked toward our convoy, in the dead of winter, for help. And all we did was just keep moving.... never stopped. 21 years later... I still see it happening.... this scene gets me every time

Yep, watching regular people get hurt is the hardest part, because they didn't ask for this situation, just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong country at the wrong time. When an enemy dies, hell even when a fellow comrade in arms dies, it at least makes sense to you in a fucked up way because we chose that life and that profession, so it comes with the territory. But when you watch people who never had any desire to be within 100 miles of a war having to deal with it on a day to day basis it's gut-wrenching and will eat at your soul for a long time.

This monologue is the last best piece of writing Stallone came up with. Mickey performed it to perfection and the way at the end Stallone just walked away without a word proves that as a director he knows the audience of an action film is not stupid enough to warrant a punch line at the end of every scene. I don't think Sly has directed anything since he directed this film. Be that as it may, it is a great directorial swansong 👍👍👍👍

Barney is trying to understand why he can't let go of the girl refusing to leave. His conscience is quietly wondering about it. He's wearing a black shirt, but standing under a moderate light. Tool has his demons in front of him reliving the story as he tells it, while sitting in the shadows, just barely illuminated. Barney is still partially in the light, while Tool sits in the dark. It's a damn good trick in the lighting to show where the characters are emotionally and mentally.
