What was the purpose of Robert Duvall putting a playing card from his deck
on the body of each dead Vietnamese soldier he came across?

I think another purpose was so they could accurately determine just how many
people they killed. One deck of cards would equal 52 dead Charlies.

If that was the actual quote from the film, I would have used it.

Ohhhh come on now don't tell me the u.s. military skimped on a "full" ?

2 jokers sweetheart the 2 jokers must be present to "constitute {funny word
constitute}a full deck - a fool and a follower.

So americaaa is playing this hand with a full deck, eh ?

Oh truth is becoming more and more stranger than fiction; more and more.

Enjoy for more of you have children and grandchildren than I do {1 is all
this takes} 'cause one's sins, not errors, not mistakes, but sins {and
god/dog
is not necessarily part of this equation} are always re-visited UPON the
children; not that this helps anyone, anytime. We just really dislike
"learning".

JHall.
