:35:00
This isn't
the Civil War, General.
:35:02
Harding's a good man,
he's a good officer.
:35:05
- It's just that he's up against...
- I'm sending you in, Bob.
:35:08
I want you to remove
all officers who won't fight.
:35:10
If necessary, put sergeants
in charge of battalions...
:35:12
and corporals in charge
of companies.
:35:15
Anyone who will fight.
:35:17
I want you to take Buna
or don't come back alive,
:35:19
and that goes for
your chief of staff too.
:35:25
Yes, sir.
:35:28
Bob.
:35:33
If you come through this
all right,
:35:34
I'll give you
the Distinguished Service Cross,
:35:37
I'll recommend you
for a high British decoration...
:35:40
and I'll release your name
for newspaper publication.
:35:45
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much, General.
:35:58
I don't care how deep
the goddamn mud is!
:36:00
I want you to kick ass,
or I'm gonna relieve yours!
:36:08
Good news, General.
This battle is over.
:36:11
It says so right here
in Stars and Stripes.
:36:14
General MacArthur
won it yesterday.
:36:16
Well, the great Sarah Bernhardt.
Another dramatic moment.
:36:21
God, he tells
the newspapers,
:36:24
but I wish he'd told
the Japanese.
:36:26
Son of a bitch.
"Mopping-up operation"!
:36:28
Now what kind of a phrase
is that to ask men to die for?
:36:32
I'm surprised he didn't say
we're just policing the area.
:36:34
I wonder who really writes that
propaganda. I don't know.
:36:38
I don't trust any of those ass
kissers up there at the H.Q.,
:36:41
surroundin' MacArthur.
:36:43
Hell, he doesn't have a staff,
he's got a court!
:36:46
You ever see
any of'em?
:36:49
They remind me of
a bunch of barracuda...
:36:51
I used to play poker with
in Shanghai years ago.
:36:54
We had to put the goddamn cuspidor
in the center of the table...
:36:56
because no one dared look away
long enough to spit!
