What's Toad really saying....?

In a scene towards the end of the movie, Toad is sitting near the burning latrine barrels talking to the officer who's life he saved. At one point, he says :

"I gotta get out of here man. This isn't my war."

BUT, looking at his lips, it seems that the last sentence ("This isn't my war") was dubbed over something different. I can't tell what his lips are actually saying, but they don't seem to match the words of that sentence. Maybe it was changed at the last minute, and over-dubbed?

Anyone got any ideas? Anyone really good at reading lips?

I noticed that too. Curious. Anyone got any insight into this?

in movies they do a thing called looping (replacing dialog or redubbing the dialog) so It might be just a bad loop

He's definately either just mumbling a short word or two after the, "I gotta get out of here man."
His lips don't even sync correctly with, "This isn't my war."

He isn't saying something that long, just a word or two.

I wonder what he really is saying.
