Siege at Fire Base Gloria
The TET Offensive. 1968. R Lee Ermey, made famous by his role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in "Full Metal Jacket" is a Marine Corps Recon Sergant Major who arrives at this Army outpost and takes over from a Captain who has lost it. Rebuilds the base, morale, etc and then:

the TET Offensive happens. THere is a scene where he is walking in front of his men and he has the severed heads of two of the Army personnel who had been standing watch and fallen asleep and the Viet Cong had snuck in, cut their heads off and left...WITH the .50 cal machine gun.

His quote follows:

"Anyone know who these belong to? This is Corporal Miller, (he holds up one head) he's dead, hell the whole gun crew is dead!

And to add insult to injury, charlie took the .50 fucking machine gun with them!

I dont have any respect for Cpl Miller any more, because he allowed his troops to relax, they let their guard down for 5 fucking minutes and charlie took advantage of it. Look at'em damn it!

Pay attention, stay alert, stay alive...it's as simple as that!"

Love that guy!
