The Green Berets 1968
A cynical reporter (David Janssen) who is opposed to the Vietnam War is sent to cover the conflict and assigned to tag along with a group of Green Berets. Led by the tough-as-nails Col. Mike Kirby (John Wayne), the team is given a top-secret mission to sneak behind enemy lines and kidnap an important Viet Cong commander. Along the way, the reporter learns to respect why America is involved in the war and helps to save the life of a war orphan whose life has been destroyed by the conflict.

Non native English speaker here. I didn’t get the pun at the end with “Can I have a choice, just for the hell of it?”. Can anyone clarify it to me?
It just means “I want to make a choice or decision, for no real reason.” So he chose to be on point at the front rather than at the rear. “Just for the hell of it” is a very mild swear (hell). If someone says they are going to do something “just for the hell of it” it means for no particular reason.
The point is, likely, the most dangerous position in the formation. Colonel Kirby thought it was silly taking the point if he did not have too.
He had to take the point so he could die like the script said
Col Obese Geriatric leads the charge!
