I think the blame can be laid on Trombley and on Godfather. First, God father for issuing the change in the ROE, and Trombley fro being a fucked up psycho and not knowing who/what he was shooting at.
I think the decisions in this war by the officers were all about winning medals and accommodations. Because of that, many of the actions the company makes are stupid and ill-advised. As Espera says in "Combat Jack": It ain't the Hajjis are gonna kill us, man. It's fucking command. Too fuckin right.
But aside from that, I do love this episode for the sheer awesome quotes:
PERSON - "Damn, sucker. I just got some. Look at me, Brad. I'm a man now. Just like you. Except, I don't look like a faggot and talk all educated."
PERSON - "Start! Stop! Start! Stop! Jesus! I'm beginning to think Godfather's just a big cocktease."
GARZA - "Sergeant?" ESPERA - "What?" GARZA - "I just lost my helmet." ESPERA - "What do you wanna do, hold a funeral?"
PERSON - "Yeah, looks like Saddam's big bad Republican Guard Hajjis got wind I was coming. As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, 'If the day does not require an AK, it is good.'"
COLBERT - "Gentlemen. We just seized an airfield. That was pretty fucking ninja."
PERSON - "I don't wanna sound like I'm defending Trombley or anything, but how come nobody remembers that they declared everybody hostile? I mean, they told us to shoot at everybody." HASSER - "Yeah. But you know what's even more fucked up? Trombley only shot two bursts, maybe seven rounds. I mean, we're bumping down a dirt road, his targets are like two hundred meters out, and he hits exactly what the fuck he's shooting at. I mean, fuck man, the boy is a cold-on, deadeye killer." PERSON - "Yeah, no shit. It's 'cause he's a psycho. But at least he's our psycho." (That quote pretty much sums up Trombley perfectly)
The way all the actors deliver these lines is fantastic. The whole script is gold, and anything that comes out of Ray Person's mouth makes me laugh.
I love that little speech of Walt's because it's like, the longest he speaks in the whole series, and I'm really fascinated by the wording and speech patterns. Because I am in love with him and a total dork, sigh. But the way he says 'boy' especially, just GETS me.
And this: PERSON - "Yeah, looks like Saddam's big bad Republican Guard Hajjis got wind I was coming. As the great warrior poet Ice Cube once said, 'If the day does not require an AK, it is good.'" Perfect Ray. Love it.
