Instead of turning around, King led the soldiers through. The city was beginning to come to life. One Iraqi soldier at a guard post looked at them and waved. King "believed in error that Blue was his assigned route," wrote the Army in its report. "A navigational error caused by the combined effects of the operational pace, acute fatigue, isolation and the harsh environmental conditions."

Walker had been all dewy moonlight as a soldier courting Garland the year before in The Clock, to which this film is an uneasy sequel, but now he learns the price of romantic impulse.
