Check #10 for an assumption that he was the only guy supposed to be awake in his whole platoon. That's your buddy from the Red Army, Pvt Miller.

They may do that. I got to see them on guard duty ~ and they drank an awful lot of booze. They'd be tossing bottles all night onto the mine field.

It's possible I served more guard duty on the West German/GDR and West German/Czech border than the combined lot of you served anywhere combined.

Quite frankly you people are a pitiful lot tonight. Your lack of training in the finer and more subtle nuances of armed guard (and lookout for the less formal situations) is incredibly obvious.

And no, we don't do summary executions. That statement that begins with the penalties and concludes "as a Court Martial may direct" means TRIAL FIRST, PUNISHMENT LATER.
