GUESS HE DIDNT KNOW THE COURTS WERE......NOT LENIANT!!!

"We got zips in the wire Erickson"

I honestly find this movie much more violent than Platoon. No surprise it’s Tarantino’s favourite ‘Nam movie.

You had a bad dream, didn't you? Eriksson: Yes. Girl on Bus: It's over now, I think. Chao ong.

He ruined his own life

My operationl furniture are none proity... And yall are always late, thats a fuck you get on my frenqueny....

Great soundtrack by Ennio Morricone as well.

Daryle Dye served Ameria in Vietnam. I know that he's passed away now, but I wonder what he would have done if he had been in the same situation as Erickson.

Go to hell, sir 😡

he has another great ass chewing in band of brothers

Dale Dye should have been nominated for supporting actor for his role.

Captain Hill (Played by Dale Dye) was right about court-martials are lenient and If these guys get convicted they won't do any real time. Gervase’s ( Played by Sean Penn) initial sentence of 10 years, reduced to 8 years, he was paroled on August 9, 1969

This was a great scene

For a totally non actor dale dye does a great job

"Flick Flies off of shit"?

There was no excuse and what they did was disgusting . This crap goes in all wars past, present and future . I was a naive Marine recruit at age 17. I found out they were going to have a blanket party on another recruit . I reported it the senior DI . I didn’t mention any names I didn’t want anyone to get in trouble . I just wanted to spare the kid a beating . The senior DI ended up having a school circle and just put it out there that he would not tolerate a blanket party in his platoon of recruits . When I spoke to the DIs all I said was that I thought Marines were suppose to lookout for one another . Marines are suppose to protect the weak. I was a small kid my self . I was only 5 foot 7 and 140 pounds . The kid they were going to beat up was tiny . Years later I figured out that I had foiled the DIs plan . I was so naive and innocent that I didn’t realize that the blanket party was exactly what the DIs wanted. I’m probably going to retire from the military in the next t two years . Between the Marines and Army I have been in the military over 30 years . I e traveled and been is some crappy situations. I . I have regret that I was part of bringing misery to different t parts of the world . At the time I thought I was part of something good bringing down a dictator and stopping WMDs from being used on my country . Now we all know there were no WMDs , the war was sold to us . I love the US Military . I have made such great friends and I would do it all over again . I do hate however how some crooked politicians use us to do their dirty work . I teach my little guy that we are suppose to help not hurt other people . I teach him never give in to a bully and definitely stop someone from getting bullied . I’m pretty sure I would have done what Fox did. I couldn’t live with myself if I allowed that kind of crime go unanswered . I would hope i could figure a way to save the girl

If the “boys” hadn’t been there where they didn’t belong,to begin with,they wouldn’t have been screaming.

Merserve ruined his own life. As a veteran of the armed forces of the United States, I remind everyone that we are trained professional fighting men; not a merry band of cut throats loose on the countryside.

Dales character is right. The film doesn't mention it but the real life men that were convicted all successfully appealed and were given reduced sentences, and then received early parole. One of them eventually joined a White Supremacist group and murdered an African American.

First he didn't want to send anybody to save Private Ryan, then he didn't want to prosecute these men for rape and murder...

This exact same thing happened to me in Afghanistan. The brass buried the whole incident and almost buried me with it.

He’s the kind of CO that I would love to give a good ass kicking to!

You on my frequency !!?

"hes 21 years old" He should've replied "u want to know how old she WAS sir?!"

He was such a coward and I was glad the truth got told. Having a coward as a leader is cancerous

Capt Dale bad ass .

This guy act like shahrukh khan of bollywood who agrees with me

Officers always try to cover shit up or sweep shit under the rug so they don’t have to address it or do “paperwork”. They’re supposed to “lead” but most had the wrong intentions and should never be allowed to lead even a boy scout group. The military(some parts - especially an infantry unit) can be grossly corrupt.

What’s so powerful about this scene to me is the captain seems fully aware of how bad and evil this situation is, but you get that sense he’s been there long enough to have probably seen worse. He points out what Erickson doesn’t even consider like a conviction, weither they’ll serve time, putting a target on his back etc. The way he tells him “no one’s trying to stop you from reporting anything” really hammers home the idea he’s not saying this because what the others did was right, he’s chewing out Erickson for his own safety if he reports it

He had a point about Tony saving his life but at the same time that doesn't justify a raping and murdering a innocent civilian I would of rated all of them rapos out too who's to say they wouldn't try that shit again once they got back home to young American girls

Even German soilders nick named the american soilders as the rapsit army during WW2.. It may be hard to hear, who was worse nazis or Americans

The girl was a similar age as Merserve. His life will be ruined? He'll still be alive. He took the life of that girl.

The old guy screams military man,he is in his natural element in a Army uniform

He didn't salute him that's probably what pissed him off

Captain is asshole he should be fired and he should be in jail

Isnt this scene to show what DYE thinks? If not why film the scene? Its meant to be provocative.

You can't do that in the military anymore they get too emotional the soldiers will start crying

Fuck the life of that 20-year-old, how about the RAPE of the GIRL??!!

If a country have war i run away from that country so that i avoid militaire

“That’s a rog, Erickson-we get to the rear, you pack your trash!” I started packing my bags after he said that line, boy does he sound convincing.

Can be a tough film to watch in parts. Harrowing. When they finally blew the young girl away, man it was tough to watch. Underated film. Putting himself right in the firing line erickson here but he 100% did the right thing. He was out thare in the bush with a bunch of sick men. As a film it is well told and sean penn is brilliant, great actor. It highlights again what kind of messed up war Nam was. Erickson as the guy on meserves group that actually had the most courage, MJF played it well and put a target on his back bringing it out to his superior's, but yeah he was right all day long.

love that camera angle at 1:24

Dale Dye is amazing. He is from military. "I've seen a lot of fucking screaming in this country."

CPT Dale Dye USMC....absolute legend

Don't care how old he is if my guys even my closest friends did what those guys did I'd make it my mission to ruin their lives. What happened to that poor girl and all the others ones that were abused or murdered by our troops makes me angry.

Goddamn Dale Dye was just so good. In everything. You didn’t make a war movie you wanted to be worth a shit without him for a good 30+ years. He’s the gold standard, for his acting an advising. Didn’t have to fake anything

I like that the US Army tries to conduct a nice sanitary war. Our enemies don’t. You can say you like it or you don’t but that fact should temper how you think of America. We have attempted to elevate human condition more aggressively than any one, ever.

This is a true story

J Fox Character was 100% right.

I love this movie. It should be made mandatory for troops to watch this before they go out into the field.
