:08:03
I mean, you won't want to go to the general's
with your shoes all grungy.
:08:09
You know what
I'm gonna hate next year, Charlie?
:08:13
- Breaking in a new plebe.
- Yeah.
:08:17
Yes, sir.
:08:23
Zen is no laughing matter.
:08:27
- Yes, sir.
- Carry on.
:08:29
Thank you, sir.
:08:35
Four, five, six.
:08:36
I can never hear that sequence of numbers
without feeling a rush in my blood.
:08:43
The siege itself
was almost as bad as the assaults,
:08:47
and the assaults were out of this world.
They kept coming at us, wave after wave.
:08:51
Totally indifferent to casualties. The Chinese
always had plenty of bodies to spare.
:08:56
They seemed to be fascinated
with our Springfield 1903.
:09:01
The rifle our snipers used.
:09:04
They called it the weapon of the silent death.
:09:07
I wish I could remember that phrase
in Chinese. It was rather beautiful.
:09:11
In battle, sir,
how do you keep from being scared?
:09:17
You don't. My God, was I scared!
:09:20
I must have lost about 20 pounds,
all of it brown!
:09:24
But fear has a way
of providing you with a little bonus.
:09:29
It gives you... the wolf.
:09:36
The wolf?
:09:39
It's a quotation from Theodore Roosevelt.
Let me see.
:09:43
"All men who have felt the power
of the joy of battle
:09:48
know what it's like
when the wolf rises in the heart."
:09:54
He knew and I know
that man was meant to be a warrior.
:09:59
We're all sons of our Viking fathers.
