My first love died in Iraq in 2003. Since then I've wanted a tattoo to remember him. I want a word or phrase like "first love" "bravery" "soldier" something along those lines...but I dont know how to write them in Vietnamese. Help!

During the first Russian Roulette scene (going to try to give nothing away) one man has a gun to his head and a soldier keeps striking him and yelling "MAO!"* repeatedly. Any Vietnamese/French speakers know what this means? (I say French as well, because it's widely spoken over there due to the French occupation of the country before the war.)

* "MAO" is pronounced just like it's spelled...as in Mao Zedong.
Bueller...?
