Answer:
c. Prefer fighting the enemy than to out with new guys.
Explanation:
The sergeant uses the word "cherries" to refer to new soldiers. This means that the sergeant used the word "cherries" as a whirlwind to designate new, innocent and inexperienced people. As the sergeant is already someone who knows the job well he is inserted, he does not have the patience to walk with the "cherries", in other words, he does not have patience with the new and inexperienced soldiers, preferring to fight with several enemies.
