Your assignment tonight is strategic. You can’t give the enemy a break. Send ’em to hell.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker gives an order: tonight's task is strategic, and the enemy must get no respite. The closing phrase, sending them to hell, is a fierce call to press hard. The tone is blunt, urgent and unsparing.
