–noun

 3. a strafing attack. 





darko 

After 175 days, war arrives, and Mendes, who is as much designer as director, cuts to the beige-on-beige battlefield. Jarhead goes slo-mo and subjective as the boys get a brief taste of action



that they're strafed by U.S. [bombers] only adds to the solipsism. 



Plus, the frustration seems eternal. When sniper Swoff finally receives a mission, minutes before the war ends, he has to radio the base for permission to even squeeze off a shot. 



Mainly what these guys do is bear witness—stumbling through a landscape of incinerated jeeps, charred corpses, and oil wells blazing in the beyond-Coppola apocalyptic night.

Patton was also an expert fencer. He re-wrote the U.S. Army's manuals on swordsmanship removing the 'parry.' His idea was for all attack. Defence just wasted energy. Such was his mastery of swordsmanship that he designed the last saber ever to be worn into battle as a weapon, the M1913 Cavalry Saber, commonly known as the "Patton Saber". 

rapier

...because the law is a [blunt] instrument. It is not a rapier. It is a [cudgel]. Tomorrow, death penalty. Which reminds me of the comedian who said "Why do they call it the death penalty? It's no penalty. You're out of the game!" 一種細長的劍

machete

If you screw me on this, I'm gonna come over there with a machete. 

cachet

An infamous scene of Moore flashing her black [brassiere] at the camera gave the sitcom goddess [cachet] with a whole new audience in the '90s.

pic's kudo [cachet] and bankable title should earn worldwide distrib Gaumont some cashback of its own from savvy younger viewers.
