:59:00
We live in the trenches
out there. We fight.
:59:04
We try not to be killed;
sometimes we are.
:59:10
That's all.
:59:15
No. No, Paul.
:59:17
I've been there!
I know what it's like.
:59:21
That's not what one
dwells on, Paul.
:59:23
I heard you in here reciting
that same old stuff,
:59:27
making more iron men,
more young heroes.
:59:31
You still think it's beautiful and sweet
to die for your country, don't you?
:59:36
We used to think
you knew.
:59:38
The first bombardment
taught us better.
:59:41
It's dirty and painful
to die for your country.
:59:45
When it comes to dying for your country,
it's better not to die at all!
:59:49
There are millions out there dying for
their countries, and what good is it?
:59:57
You asked me to tell them
how much they're needed out there.
1:00:00
He tells you,
"Go out and die."
1:00:03
Oh, but if you'll pardon me, it's easier to
say "Go out and die" than it is to do it.
1:00:07
- Coward!
- And it's easier to say it than to watch it happen.
1:00:12
No! No! Boys, boys!
1:00:17
- I'm sorry, Baumer, but I must say--
- It's no use talking like this.
1:00:22
You won't know
what I mean.
1:00:24
Only, it's been a long while since
we enlisted out of this classroom.
1:00:28
So long I thought maybe the whole
world had learned by this time.
1:00:33
Only now they're sending babies,
and they won't last a week!
1:00:37
I shouldn't have come
on leave.
1:00:39
Up at the front you're alive
or you're dead, and that's all!
1:00:42
You can't fool anybody
about that very long.
1:00:45
Up there we know we're lost and
done for whether we're dead or alive.
1:00:50
Three years we've had
of it-- four years.
1:00:53
Every day a year
and every night a century.
1:00:57
Our bodies are earth
and our thoughts are clay,
