The Corps of Engineers
is gonna miss you, sir.
:02:04
- Thank you, gentlemen. Bronson.
- Sir.
:02:07
I built this place,
so I'll be glad to eat it.
:02:13
Well done, sir.
:02:16
You're a lucky man.
Give those Japs hell.
:02:18
Thank you, Thomas.
:02:21
Indeed, I will.
:02:27
Sir!
:02:28
I'm losing my chance
to get out from behind a desk
:02:31
- and lead men in combat!
- Colonel Groves, forget it. This has...
:02:35
Even Bronson
wants to head for the front.
:02:38
Forget about the front.
You're an engineer.
:02:40
You're gonna fight your war here.
:02:43
Is this what you're assigning me to,
this boondoggle? Dead end?
:02:48
This dead end, Groves, has the
personal backing of the president.
:02:52
This is not what I was promised,
not what I expected.
:02:54
Then bone up on it.
Head to Chicago, talk to the scientist.
:02:58
If it looks possible, run with it.
:03:00
Take whoever you want. Have
whatever you need. Just make it work.
:03:04
Who knows, you might just win
this war on your own.
:03:08
Pick up a star on the way.
:03:40
...fighting for, and they are reported
to be giving the Germans hell.
:03:45
Though these losses represent the
most serious setbacks for the Allies
:03:49
in this war
against the Nazi enemy.
:03:53
Bad news, too,
from the war in the Pacific.
:03:56
We have just had confirmation of
the sinking of three US cruisers.
