Tod Holton, Super Green Beret, Part One

"Grenade...You have broken my heart!"

"Wheel up machinegun and pour lead into Yankees!"
Now, has the letterer screwed up again, or is this an example of the time-honored racist writing trick of having foreigners speak broken English? This implies that they are stupid, as they speak fluent English except for when they drop definite articles, whereas we are smarter than them because we don't speak ANY of their language. If that's the case here, then why does the pidgin English only get used about once every tenth sentence?

"Our scout reports they have fired their last bullet! He saw them bring 2500 rounds of ammo into the cave, and counted the shots they fired."

Note that there are apparently more than one species of Cong. There are the banana-skinned human pigs that attacked the monastery, and these Creamsicle-skinned ones.

Tod the Shrubbery has now become Tod the Tree.
Kind of redundant for a guy who's so nearly a vegetable.

Tod Holton, Super Green Beret Smug Bastard, hasn't been this proud of himself since he won that "Nice Try" medal at the Special Olympics 100 Yard Stumble.
Yeah, Tod, real major superhero accomplishment here, being slower than a speeding bullet.

Excuse me?
"Holy Jungles"??

"H-how did our ammo belts get filled again?"

"You ask too many questions! Remember when you asked why the ammo belts wafted out of the cave by themselves in the first place? When they flew back in, you questioned your sanity like a little baby would! Let's use 'em to drive the Congs back!"

"Use spent, fired ammo to drive the enemy back? What the jungles are we gonna do, run up and hammer the bullets into them with a rock? And why are our uniforms urine-yellow all of a sudden?"

"You ask too many questions!"
