1:19:00
- Maybe we need two of you.
- One was enough in Tarawa.
1:19:05
Stick with me.
I'm a battle-hardened veteran.
1:19:09
Know how many Japs I knocked off
in Tarawa? 32. Did I get anything for it?
1:19:14
I got enemies in Washington.
1:19:17
If the Marines didn't have me,
they'd never have made it.
1:19:21
Now, this is how you fold a flag!
1:19:28
Do you believe in intuition?
1:19:31
Yeah... in women. Why?
1:19:34
It's hard to explain. I've a feeling
I'm not coming out of this operation.
1:19:39
Don't talk that way.
1:19:41
- I can't help it. It's the way I feel.
- Why?
1:19:45
I don't know. It's like a voice in my ear.
I can't shake the feeling off.
1:19:50
Take my advice, shake it off.
1:19:52
No dice. When things like that get in you,
it's no use trying to fight them.
1:20:06
If a marine waits long enough
he gets the word.
1:20:09
Our sealed orders came aboard
after five days at sea.
1:20:15
This island is volcanic and sandy.
1:20:18
It's five and a half miles long
and two and a half miles wide.
1:20:23
This mountain here
is a dead volcano. It's called Suribachi.
1:20:28
There's nothing on the island except
three airfields and about 20,000 Japs.
1:20:34
The Army Air Corps B-24s have been
bombing this place for 62 days.
1:20:40
- Maybe it'll be an easy operation then.
- We can't be sure.
1:20:44
Every yard is covered
by some kind of fire.
1:20:48
There are two possible landing beaches,
one on the east side, one on the west.
1:20:54
The rest of the coastline is cliffs.
1:20:57
They'll try and keep us off the beaches.
