:01:11
Be seated.
:01:13
(SHUFFLING)
:01:16
Now, I want you to remember. . .
:01:19
. . .that no bastard ever won a war. . .
:01:24
. . .by dying for his country.
:01:28
He won it. . .
:01:31
. . .by making the other poor dumb
bastard die for his country.

:01:37
Men. . .
:01:40
. . .all this stuff you've heard
about America not wanting to fight. . .

:01:44
. . .wanting to stay out of the war. . .
:01:46
. . .is a lot of horse dung.
:01:48
Americans. . .
:01:50
. . .traditionally love to fight.
:01:53
All real Americans love
the sting of battle.

:01:59
When you were kids. . .
:02:03
. . .you all admired
the champion marble shooter. . .

:02:06
. . .the fastest runner, big-league
ball players, the toughest boxers.

:02:11
Americans love a winner. . .
:02:14
. . .and will not tolerate a loser.
:02:16
Americans play to win all the time.
:02:19
I wouldn't give a hoot in hell
for a man who lost and laughed.

:02:24
That's why Americans have never lost
and will never lose a war. . .

:02:30
. . .because the very thought
of losing. . .

:02:34
. . .is hateful to Americans.
:02:38
Now. . .
:02:40
. . .an army is a team.
:02:44
It lives, eats, sleeps,
fights as a team.

:02:47
This individuality stuff
is a bunch of crap.

:02:50
The bilious bastards who wrote
that stuff about individuality. . .

:02:53
. . .for the Saturday Evening Post...
:02:55
. . .don't know anything more about real
battle than they do about fornicating.
