1:46:01
have committed the most offensive act
of international lawlessness in history!
1:46:06
We are now facing
a new, fresh,
1:46:10
highly trained army!
1:46:12
What does Truman mean by
calling this a "police action"?
1:46:17
Isn't it a fact that the
casualties are mounting daily?
1:46:22
This "police action"...
1:46:24
has almost destroyed
the Korean nation.
1:46:27
For what?
1:46:31
I've seen as much blood and
disaster as any man now living.
1:46:34
Every time
I come out of here...
1:46:38
I could just...
just be sick!
1:46:42
It curdles my stomach.
1:46:44
Does he intend
to let this go on?
1:46:47
By what sophistry
of reason?
1:46:49
Sir, he has the Russians
to consider...
1:46:51
and our allies.
1:46:53
General Bradley
feels the same way.
1:46:55
He says that a war with China
would be the wrong war...
1:46:58
at the wrong time in the wrong
place and with the wrong enemy.
1:47:02
The Joint Chiefs of Staff.
1:47:06
I requested permission to bomb
the Chinese airfields in Manchuria.
1:47:10
The request was denied.
1:47:12
I requested permission for hot
pursuit of enemy aircraft...
1:47:15
into their privileged sanctuary
above the Yalu.
1:47:18
That request was denied.
1:47:20
I requested permission to bomb the Yalu
bridges to keep the Chinese out of Korea.
1:47:24
They said,
1:47:26
you might bomb...
1:47:28
the southern half
of the bridges only.
1:47:31
In my 50 years
of military service...
1:47:35
I have never learned
how to bomb half a bridge!
1:47:43
It's the most imbecilic order ever
given to a commander in the field.
1:47:52
This...
1:47:54
is appeasement.
1:47:56
Unless some positive and
immediate action can be taken,
1:47:59
we should withdraw
our forces to Japan.
