Platoon

25: One of the soldiers in the platoon dies, Chris is unjustly blamed, they leave and get back to base camp where Chris and another soldier cleans the latrine. The birth of something new.

45: VO of Chris as they enter a village. Sgt. Barnes shoots a villager running away. Villagers are rounded up, they find holes where people, weapons, ammo, and supplies are found. Chris loses his self control as he questions a villager. Now that I'm aware.

60: Four soldiers talk about the war and how they feel about it. Sgt. Barnes worries about an investigation prompted by Sgt. Elias. Sgt. Elias is called a rat and that somebody should kill him. Sgt. Barnes considers what to do about Sgt. Elias. Chris and Sgt. Elias look at the stars: "There's no right or wrong with them, they're just there." Chris asks Elias if he believes in what he's doing, and he says in '65 he believed but not now. "We're going to lose." There's no going back now.

-45: King gets to go home as soldiers in the platoon fear for their lives. King tells Chris: "Don't think too much, no such thing as a coward." One of the soldiers tries to get a medical leave because of his foot, Sgt. Barnes won't allow it. Sgt. O'Neill asks Sgt. Barnes to let him leave and Barnes won't allow it. O'Neill has a bad feeling and doesn't think he'll make it. Discovery.

-25: The platoon is split up. Sgt. Barnes and his men are shelled by friendly fire and calls them to stop. Sgt. Elias organizes his men to fight and leaves to fight alone. Sgt. Barnes is asked about Elias and says, "I'll get him." We fear that Barnes will kill Elias and soon he does just that. The final turning point.
