The Green Berets1968

George Beckworth:
Petersen, what was all that talk about the enemy building ladders and coffins?

Sgt. Petersen:
Well, when Charlie knows he's got a nice box to be buried in, he's just as brave as hell.

George Beckworth:
What about the ladders?

Sgt. Petersen:
They throw the ladders across the wire to get at us. And later on, they use them for litters to stack on and carry away the dead bodies.

George Beckworth:
Later on... you mean after everybody's dead?

Sgt. Petersen:
Yes, everybody. Men... women... and children. Everybody.
