Why didn’t Hartman hear Private Pyle crying?


Would’ve been a fun scene if he’d woken up.

awesome you mentioned this! according to the imdb trivia, there's a deleted extended version of the scene that goes on a bit longer, where hartman comes out and starts berating pyle for waking him up. supposedly it was trimmed because it was "too cruel", but i've also read online that it was removed because it was unintentionally funny.

because he order code red himself. and get blown away in end for doing so!! poetic justices.

Or maybe Private Pyle shouldn't have been such a fat, lazy loser.

There is nothing to indicate Hartmann ordered that treatment. But it is what he was deliberately pushing them to do.
