>>212388284>Imagine telling a PBR crew that they would have to sail into 80 miles up river into Cambodia, during vietnam war. They would mutiny.The PBR crew had been in the war long enough to understand what Willard was.
If they didn’t want to go up river, they would have had to jump overboard and try swim or walk back downstream.
Willard was also the commanding officer on the mission, and could just shoot the crew members if they tried to mutiny.
Willard also saved the one guy from the tiger.
The alternative was Kilgore, who hardly seemed like someone who wouldn’t get them shot.
