Don't you want more unit citations and oak-leaf clusters on your Air Medal?
Don't you want to contribute more to the record by flying more missions?
No.
In that case, we'll just have to send you home.
Of course, there's one catch.
Yeah? What's that?
We will issue orders sending you back to the States and there's one thing you have to do for us in return.
What would that be?
Like us.
Like you?
Like us.
You'll be surprised how easy it is once you begin.
You see, we're going to put you on Easy Street. - Promote you to Major. - Give you another medal. - Send you home a hero. - You'll have parades in your honour.
You can make speeches, raise money for war bonds. - All you have to do is be our pal. - Say nice things about us.
Tell the folks at home what a good job we're doing.
Take our offer.
It's either that or a court-martial for desertion.
