[Roscoe]

Ahhhh....you missed my point. Let me put it another way....

As he testifies to a Colonel (Douglas Henderson), other Army chiefs of staff and a black consulting psychiatrist (Joe Adams)
about his horrifying dreams from combat, Captain Marco believes it is "curious that Mavole was one of the two men lost in
the action, yet every night in my dream, he's - he's the one that Raymond..." Raymond was honored for saving the lives of
all but two of his platoon members - one of whom was Mavole. Then, Marco convincingly describes his warm feelings for
war-buddy Shaw - thoughts that are shared in common [through brain-washing] by all the platoon's survivors because
he 'saved their lives':

"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." .......Major Marco
