  PFC Robert Leckie : G Company took three alive.

  PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley : Well, good for them. It was a banzai suicide attack for the rest of these guys.

  PFC Robert Leckie : Apparently all the Japs on this end of the island are runnin' like hell to Rabaul. They left their sick and wounded at another camp near here. Another one hundred volunteered for this shit.

  PFC Wilbur 'Runner' Conley : A hundred against twelve hundred. They're either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.

  PFC Robert Leckie : [grimly]  Or just really fuckin' hate us.
