The soldiers assigned to find Pvt. Ryan and bring him home can do the
math for themselves. The Army Chief of Staff has ordered them on the
mission for propaganda purposes: Ryan's return will boost morale on the
homefront, and put a human face on the carnage at Omaha Beach. His
mother, who has already lost three sons in the war, will not have to add
another telegram to her collection. But the eight men on the mission
also have parents--and besides, they've been trained to kill Germans,
not to risk their lives for publicity stunts. ``This Ryan better be
worth it,'' one of the men grumbles.
