Quote #7
TAYLOR: I say we frag that f***er tonight.
Taylor utters these words shortly after Elias' death, and they reflect a big part of Vietnam War military politics, and the plot of the film. "Fragging," or the killing of a fellow soldier, was the war's counterpart to political assassinations, and guys like Barnes and Taylor are willing to eliminate their friends-turned-enemies to achieve their political ends.
