1918. Remember your history, Donny?
The great influenza pandemic.

1:09:33
Circled the globe in nine months.
Killed 25 million people.

1:09:36
My father lost three brothers in that. So?
1:09:40
What if there were men who could
have stopped it, but didn't?

1:09:44
How would history judge such men?
1:09:46
Oh, baloney.
1:09:48
FDR stopped Stilwell going into Indochina.
He caused the Vietnam War.

1:09:52
What does history say?
1:09:53
Truman dropped the bomb on
the Japanese. Saved American lives.

1:09:58
Now revisionist historians say he dropped
the bomb to scare the Russians.

1:10:02
Those men were at war, Donny. We're not.
1:10:05
We are at war. Everybody is at war.
1:10:08
I have a presidential green light on
Clean Sweep, and I am going forward.

1:10:17
These people are Americans.
1:10:21
2,600 dead or dying Americans.
1:10:24
If that bug gets out of there, 260 million
Americans will be dead or dying.

1:10:30
Those people are casualties of war.
1:10:34
I'd give them all a medal if I could...
1:10:37
...but they are casualties of war.
1:10:47
That's all.
1:10:49
Come on.
1:10:54
-Neal, is it?
-Yes, sir.

1:10:55
I have to ask you a few questions.
Have a seat.
