:25:02
maybe too impressive.
:25:04
I mean perfect.
:25:06
He was being groomed
:25:08
for one of the top slots
in the corporation--
:25:13
general, chief of staff,
anything.
:25:15
In 1964, he returned from
a tour in Vietnam,
:25:20
and things
started to slip.
:25:22
His report to
the Joint Chiefs of Staff
:25:26
and Lyndon Johnson
was restricted.
:25:29
Seems they didn't dig
what he had to say.
:25:33
He made three requests
for transfer
:25:36
to airborne training,
Fort Benning, Georgia,
:25:39
and was finally accepted.
:25:44
Airborne.
:25:48
He was 38 years old.
:25:52
Why the fuck
would he do that?
:25:57
"1966,
:25:59
"joins Special Forces,
:26:01
returns Vietnam."
:26:05
What's that?
:26:06
Arc light.
:26:08
B-52 strike.
:26:11
What's that?
:26:12
Arc light.
:26:14
Every time I hear that,
something terrible happens.
:26:16
Charlie don't never
see them or hear them.
:26:18
There they are!
:26:20
Concussion sucks the air
from your lungs.
:26:22
Something terrible's
going to happen.
:26:24
Smoke!
:26:25
Secondary burn.
:26:27
Hueys over there,
lots of hueys.
:26:30
Let's have a look, Chief.
:26:33
It was the Air Cav.
1st of the 9th.
:26:37
That's them.
:26:38
Our escorts to the mouth
of the Nung River.
:26:41
But they were
supposed to wait
:26:43
another
30 kilometers ahead.
:26:45
Well, Air Mobile--
:26:46
those boys just
couldn't stay put.
