You're working too hard
at being a hard-ass.

What's the harm in a party for these guys?
They're special.
:59:08
I have 24 crews up there.
They are all special to me.

Great story, but baloney's my business.
I know it when I see it.

All you care about is getting planes
in the air. Results. Brown-nosing HQ.

-The only man--
-Come with me.

You don't care if these men live or die.
It's just another airplane--

This is from a father whose son
had his head blown off over Lorient.

"Dear Col. Harriman:
Thank you for the letter about my son.
:59:59
"He must have made a big impression...
1:00:01
"...because you described him exactly.
1:00:03
"I wish you could have told me...
1:00:06
"...how Tommy died, but I guess
we must be careful about security.
1:00:11
"I'm glad he was brave to the end.
1:00:14
"Maybe we raised him right after all.
1:00:21
"We'll get used to him being gone...
1:00:23
"...but not too soon, I hope.
1:00:26
"I can read your letter to bring him back. "
1:00:28
"Dear sir, Your letter of December 10
finally made me realize...
1:00:31
"...my husband is gone.
I have been living...
1:00:34
"...in the false hopes
that the telegram was a mistake. "
1:00:37
"Dear sir, I am writing on behalf
of my parents...
1:00:41
"...who appreciated your letter...
1:00:43
"...about my brother's death. We were
all glad to know that Frank didn't suffer...
1:00:48
"...and was not alone when he died. "
1:00:50
"I saw him off at the train station.
1:00:53
"He was excited to be doing
something important with his life.
1:00:57
"He couldn't stop looking
at his shoulder stripes. "
