Maybe the area is secure because the enemy have all been roasted with napalm or otherwise blasted to hell. If you remember the scene, I think he then has the one guy go out surfing. They chose to hit that village to secure the beach because it had a "wicked break".

I thought that was from a film but I cant think for the life of me which one. Wouldnt be Apocalypse Now would it?

Watch the movie, it wasn't blasted to hell. The combat was still going on but he got his man to go out there and surf to claim the beach. That battle scene is, in fact, the one where a Vietcong woman throws a hat with a grenade in it into a Medivac Huey and blows it to pieces.
He doesn't say "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" until the US aircraft blow the crap out of the place while they're there.
Awesome scene of them coming though.
And lanc, an officer stood up in the middle of a battle shows a sign of courage and will often rally the troops in desperate situations. You don't want to see your commanding officer panicking like a little wimp.
And it is from Apocalypse Now.

Its just a scene from an all time great War movie.
That guy though does remind me of the first Air Assualt we flew in Iraq though. It was with a CAV unit and when we landed to get the brief from them and brief them up on what we had to tell them, this Colonal comes out with his guys with a CAV hat on, a cigar hanging out of his mouth and a shot gun in his hand screaming "Wind em up boys, lets go get 'em!" It just reminded me of Appocolypse Now and the whole time to the LZ I was humming Flight of the Valkrye by Wagner just like when the helicopters are coming in in the movie.

On the subject of officers in combat. My cousin was in the first Gulf War. They were moving up to the front when out of the middle of the desert this Iraqi jumped up and had a go at his truck with an RPG.
John was so angry he got out of the truck, chased him across the desert and beat him up using the empty RPG. He then left the Iraqi and went back to the truck.
As he got in, his Sargent turned to him and said 'excuse me sir, why didn't you just shoot the f----r.
He told this to his officers before the second war to remind them that officers in combat who look as if they are being brave could well be just being stupid. Also, that the brave one was the Iraqi. He was all alone, behind the allied lines, had been plastered by planes and guns, run over by tanks and APC's and no one would have blamed him had he just surrendered. He warned his men not to underestimate the power of the individual.
Good advice as it turns out
