why is it so hard to beleive?
Would you pass off tommy lee jones in rules of engagement for saying "the average life expectancy of a 2nd luitenent(i think) dropped into a hot LZ during vietnam was 16 seconds, 16 fucking seconds"
as shit? well you probably would but who gives a fuck.

signals is part of "radio operator" and havent you ever noticed that in war films the guy carrying the radio always gets killed?

Its not bullshit, its statistics taken from world war 2 all the way up to the present day.[/quote:88854]

yeah i got that a signals operator was the guy with the big radio on his back. what i dont know is the official title for the guy with the stopwatch. get the point ?

even if there was an infantry position like 'pointman' who was always the guy in fornt who the enemy always killed first even he wouldnt average 3 seconds.

cmon man use your head.

and as for your movie quote it was 16 minutes and based on nothing more solid than what the director got the actor to say based on the screenplay that was based on a book.
