While dressed in full garb, Markinson takes out his silver plated pistol from the holster and places it in his mouth before pulling the trigger. A gunshot is heard while the camera is redirected to view a window which has rain trickling down. I felt as though this was one of the most powerful portions of the film. The Marine was so deeply grief stricken with guilt that he took his own
