:22:00
For the times,
they are a-changin'
:22:02
There's absolutely
no question.
:22:04
The First Cavalry Division
:22:05
is the latest concept
in mobile warfare.
:22:08
One division is worth
:22:09
2 1/2 Russian
and 6 Chinese divisions.
:22:12
How well will
the individual soldier
:22:14
stand up here
in Vietnam?
:22:16
What do you think,
Dad, about that?
:22:20
I don't know.
:22:21
13,000 miles--
:22:23
that's a long way to go
to fight a war.
:22:26
They fought the French
and the Japanese
:22:29
for 30 years.
:22:30
Can they
be weeded out?
:22:32
Anything
that lives in a cave
:22:34
can be weeded out.
:22:35
I just hope they send you
to Europe or Korea or...
:22:40
They can't.
:22:41
Someplace safe.
:22:42
Every Marine has
a tour of duty there.
:22:45
It's not like the Army.
:22:47
What's wrong with you?
:22:48
You served.
Uncle Bob served.
:22:50
I know, Ronnie.
I know.
:22:52
Remember what
President Kennedy said?
:22:54
There won't be
an America any more
:22:56
unless people are willing
to sacrifice.
:22:58
I love my country.
:22:59
I know.
:23:00
And you're right,
Ronnie.
:23:02
You're doing
the right thing.
:23:04
Communism has
to be stopped.
:23:05
It's God's will
you go.
:23:08
We're proud of you.
:23:09
Be careful,
that's all.
:23:11
Up there in Hanoi,
:23:13
they don't allow magazines,
newspapers, and televisions
:23:15
to cast doubts
on the military system.
:23:18
Don't you know what being a Marine
means to me, Dad?
:23:22
Ever since
I was a kid,
:23:24
I've wanted
to serve my country,
:23:26
and I want to go.
:23:28
I want to go
to Vietnam,
:23:29
and I'll die there
if I have to.
:23:33
The attitude of people
on the home front
:23:36
is very important
in this war.
:23:39
Not a nice night
for the prom.
:23:42
Can the South Vietnamese
government
:23:44
stand up
to the North?
:23:46
We wouldn't
be here
:23:47
if we didn't
think so.
:23:57
Sometimes, God,
I'm so confused.
