Easy, Barnes! Don't do it, man. You'll go dinky dau in LBJ, man. Ten years for killin' an enlisted man. Ten years. You'll climb the frickin' walls, man! Don't do it!

Was in the Barnes camp when I saw it at the theater

Barnes was never coming back from Vietnam and I suspect he knew it. He was always destined to die there because he was cracked. Elias always had the sense of decency in him but I suspect he too probably knew after a while that irrespective of Barnes he can't ever leave Nam either. Both are destined to die there .
