:09:00
Maybe we can stop the war
:09:02
till things get better then.
:09:03
Nobody asked you to stop
the war, did they?
:09:07
Put McPherson's death
behind you, Mr. Grafton.
:09:10
Right here, right now.
:09:14
Yes, sir.
:09:18
Now, what altitude
were you flying at?
:09:23
Uh... 200.
:09:25
200 maybe, AGL.
:09:28
I pushed the nose over...
:09:30
started a shallow...
:09:31
dive in on the gun
and leveled out.
:09:34
Some SAMs had tried us
when we'd come in,
:09:37
and I wanted to... to get
out of there low and fast.
:09:40
You came out
by a different route?
:09:43
Yeah. Yes, sir.
:09:44
About 30 miles, I guess.
:09:46
Lucky small-arms fire.
:09:47
Mmm.
:09:48
All right.
:09:49
Just bad luck, that's all.
:09:51
Just ran out of luck.
:09:53
Take Mr. Grafton
off the flight schedule.
:09:56
You got liberty in Subic
in a couple days.
:10:00
You need the rest.
:10:03
What was your target?
:10:05
A suspected truck park.
:10:07
You hit it?
:10:08
Oh, yeah, we hit it.
:10:09
Trees.
:10:10
A bunch of trees.
:10:11
There was nothing there again.
:10:13
What's your problem?
:10:14
Spit it out.
:10:20
Well, I don't think trees
in a suspected truck park
:10:23
is worth a man's life.
:10:25
Targets are picked for
political consideration,
:10:28
Mr. Grafton,
:10:29
with the best intelligence
we have available.
:10:31
You have any trouble with that?
:10:32
Well, I don't think losing Morg
:10:34
is a political
consideration, sir.
:10:38
Look...
:10:40
I know losing
McPherson is lousy.
:10:43
I don't like the targets,
either.
:10:45
I hate them.
:10:46
But... I don't want any
blood feuds going on.
:10:49
Half the time,
it isn't the mission
:10:51
you're flying
that kills you,
:10:52
it's the one before--
do you read me?
:10:56
Yes, sir.
:10:57
Good.
:10:59
I want you to write
a letter to Morg's wife.
