:06:00
I have the rare privilege
of speaking for a victorious army
:06:03
of almost five million fighting men.
:06:06
They and the women
who have so ably assisted them
:06:09
constitute the Allied
Expeditionary Force
:06:11
that has liberated Western Europe.
:06:14
They have destroyed
or captured enemy armies
:06:16
totaling more than their own strength
:06:19
and swept triumphantly forward
over the hundreds of miles
:06:22
separating Cherbourg from Lübeck,
:06:24
Leipzig and Munich.
:06:26
These startling successes
have not been bought
:06:28
without sorrow and suffering.
:06:30
In this theater alone,
80,000 Americans
:06:33
and comparable numbers
among the allies
:06:35
have had their lives cut short
:06:37
so that the rest of us might live
in the sunlight of freedom.
:06:52
- Yeah!
- Oh, yeah!
:06:54
What are we gonna do
when this is over?
:06:57
I don't know.
Probably start another one.
:06:59
That's what I love about this job.
A guaranteed future. I'm not wrong.
:07:03
Believe me, we're descended
from a long line of noble predators.
:07:07
You are irrepressible.
:07:09
I think I'm gonna go be
irrepressible down with Fuller.
:07:12
Come on, baby face.
:07:16
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm irrepressible.
:07:19
So, what are you writing?
:07:21
Something Oppie said today.
I don't know.
:07:23
Well, read it. Go on.
:07:28
Makes you wonder
if there's an intelligence
:07:30
that isn't descended
from a long line of predators.
:07:36
I want to kiss you.
:07:38
Come here.
:07:46
Sir, is it true that since we KO'd
Germany, we're gonna go home?
:07:50
- I'll drink to that.
- That might be true, soldier.
:07:57
Can I have your attention, please?
Please.
