But once war
has been forced upon us...
1:55:05
there is no other
alternative...
1:55:08
than to apply
every available means...
1:55:11
to bring it to a swift end.
1:55:15
War's very object
is victory,
1:55:19
not prolonged indecision.
1:55:23
In war...
1:55:25
there can be no substitute
for victory.
1:55:34
For history teaches us,
with unmistakable emphasis...
1:55:38
that appeasement but begets
new and bloodier war.
1:55:43
Like blackmail,
it lays the basis for new...
1:55:48
and increasingly
greater demands...
1:55:50
until, as in blackmail...
1:55:53
violence becomes
the only alternative.
1:56:04
"Why... "
1:56:07
"Why," my soldiers
asked of me,
1:56:12
"surrender military advantages
to an enemy in the field?"
1:56:21
I could not answer.
1:56:25
The magnificence
of the courage...
1:56:29
and fortitude
of the Korean people...
1:56:33
defies description.
1:56:38
They have chosen
to risk death...
1:56:42
rather than slavery.
1:56:46
Their last words
to me were...
1:56:51
"Don't scuttle
the Pacific. "
