1:22:00
I'll learn
them fellers to shoot
1:22:02
the best i can,
like i already done
1:22:05
with pusher
and bert-
1:22:06
i mean,
privates ross and thomas, sir,
1:22:09
but... well,
i don't want to be no corporal.
1:22:14
What's that?
1:22:15
I said, i don't want
to be no corporal.
1:22:18
Why not?
1:22:18
Wait, captain.
Let him talk.
1:22:21
Well, you see, i...
1:22:22
is it because of your
religious convictions, york?
1:22:25
Yes, sir. That's it.
1:22:26
You see, i believe
in the bible,
1:22:29
and i'm a-believing
that this here life we're living
1:22:33
is something
the lord done give us,
1:22:36
and we got to be
a-living it the best we can.
1:22:39
And i'm figuring
that a-killing other folks
1:22:42
ain't no part
of what he was intending
1:22:45
for us to be
a-doing here.
1:22:47
Well, yes, in a way,
i agree with you.
1:22:51
York-
with your permission, major.
1:22:53
Certainly, captain.
Sit down, york.
1:22:55
You, uh...
1:22:56
you say you believe
in the bible.
1:23:00
Yes, sir.
1:23:01
Well, i do, too,
1:23:02
but do you believe
that the bible means
1:23:05
that a man
shouldn't fight
1:23:06
for what he believes
to be right?
1:23:09
Well, it done said,
1:23:11
"blessed are
the peacemakers."
1:23:12
Yes, i know,
but, um...
1:23:14
you remember that verse-
i think it's in ## luke-
1:23:18
where he says,
"he that hath no sword,
1:23:20
let him sell his garment
and buy one"?
1:23:23
He said that
to peter,
1:23:25
but he done stopped
peter
1:23:26
from using a sword.
1:23:27
He said
them that lives by the sword
1:23:29
will be a-perishing
by the sword.
1:23:32
That were
further on.
1:23:33
Yes, i remember, but...
1:23:35
no, go ahead,
captain.
1:23:36
But according
to saint john,
1:23:38
he said, "my kingdom
is not of this world.
1:23:41
"If my kingdom were
of this world,
1:23:44
then would my servant
fight?"
1:23:45
Well, that's just
the point, captain.
1:23:47
He done said
his kingdom were not of this world,
1:23:50
and that are
different.
1:23:52
Yes, but, uh-
1:23:53
just a moment,
captain.
1:23:55
York, have you
ever read this?
1:23:57

the united states.
