:22:00
On the agenda is a review of the Army's
new long-range bomber program.
:22:05
And there'll be speculation...
:22:08
as to whether that doesn't make
carrier-based aircraft obsolete.
:22:12
In short, they're out
to scrap the Navy again.
:22:18
Charlie, the Air Corps is coming out of
this war the darling of the services.
:22:22
The Army and its Air Corps.
:22:24
The Navy will be the runt of the litter.
:22:28
They'll scrap us...
:22:30
like they do after every war.
:22:32
Limit our capital ships...
:22:38
reduce our crews to cadres,
strip us back to Pearl Harbor level.
:22:43
Then they'll scream
how ill-prepared we are...
:22:45
when somebody hits us
with another Pearl Harbor.
:22:48
All Washington is bug-eyed
over this invasion of Europe.
:22:52
And this invasion of Europe
is an all Army show.
:22:57
That's why we're here, Charlie.
:22:59
To remind the Congress
of the United States...
:23:01
and the American public...
:23:03
that this invasion of Europe
is also a Navy show.
:23:12
I just threw in that Marine division
for openers.
:23:15
They turned me down.
Now they owe me something.
:23:18
But what?
:23:19
What?
:23:22
I don't know what to shoot for.
:23:24
I've got to come up with something.
:23:28
It's driving me crazy.
:23:31
Charlie, fix me something for this head,
will you? It's killing me.
:23:34
Sure, Admiral.
:23:46
Sure, George, sure.
:23:48
Sure. Support that damn peanut.
:23:51
Damn Chinese.
:23:53
Communist. Five years at the most.
:23:59
Here's your drink, sir.
