What did he whisper in his ear when he sat down next to his buddy?

[HenryvKeiper]

@rockynkelli Some other people have wondered that too. I don't know myself. It kinda reminds me of that scene in "Reservoir Dogs" where Harvey Keitel whispers to Tim Roth and makes him laugh - I have no idea what he says either. Maybe other people know.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell was killed when his helicopter was shot down after extracting a special forces team inside Cambodia. Just in case you don't know, Major O'Donnell wrote the poem at the end of the movie.

@TheWizardTrembyle I knew his relevance to the film, but unfortunately I did not know that he died while in service :(

@HenryvKeiper

Yeah man there is noting glorious about war. In the end you are just very happy that you are your buddies made it out alive and that you get to see your family again. I am very thankful to God that people where praying for me while I was in Iraq, cause there where some close calls.

Anyone know what the final battle looks like?

@rockynkelli ..I have watched it several times and the closest thing I can come up with is that he is either saying, "life is good" or "that was good." I am about 95% sure the last word is good...anyone else wanna take a stab at it?

@deleond2

It's worth noting that this was one of the early films that Dale Dye served as technical advisor which is why you don't see any of the ridiculous historical inaccuracy like in Platoon where Barnes is walking around with a Colt M4 carbine that didn't exist yet and can't be claimed as a CAR15 because he wasn't in Special Forces or MACVSOG. Things like that really bother me.

@Ihateyourfuckinggutz Me as a HISPANIC whose father served in the VIETNAM WAR IN 67' AND 69' with the ARMY 101st AIRBORNE AND 82ND AIRBORNE I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER. But my dad said he was treated bad for being hispanic and wearing the US uniform but put it behind him and it made his skin thicker and vietnam made it browner...
