 Here's what a battle looks like from topside Remember the brass hats can't be every place at once any more than you can We've been hammering that enemy line for three days now trying to find a soft spot. This is the last crack We've been pounding them for hours and getting nowhere then suddenly the map has changed not much nothing important a little dent in a 20 mile front How did that dent get there? Remember those lines on the map aren't just lines they're soldiers Individual soldiers just like you or like Joe Parker. What the hell happened to the sergeant? He got hit back there I saw him bad not good He told us to keep moving up. Yeah, then he got shot the machine gun up there on the edge of that woods No Maybe the three of us could knock it out. Are you kidding? I Couldn't knock out a hot dog stand Kind of poop myself. I bet there's something we could do Look the second metallion tried to take that woods yesterday. You saw what happened to them Yeah, if they couldn't do it What do you think three guys in a shell hole could do well nothing as long as we stay in a shell hole What the hell is the matter with a shell hole ain't it good enough for you? It's too wet You know My mother used to tell me If you keep your feet dry, you'll you'll live to be a hundred. Hey, where you going? Cover me. Will you the whole platoon? Pretty soon the company had broken through and was fanning out By noon the next day a division had poured through that gap And we've been going 24 hours losing till after it's over and then somebody tells you tell me if You keep your feet dry live to be a hundred. There's our secret weapon mr. Hitler Joe Barker from Willows, Nebraska He can march further and fight longer than any square head in your outfit He can out fight you with a rifle or a bayonet or with his bare hands He's got something to fight for mr. Hitler. He wants to get back to that farm in Nebraska and brother He's in a hurry
