:49:00
- I don't know how significant...
- I'm drowning in paper here.
:49:04
They're crawling all over my ass
for combat assessments,
:49:07
Sir, I just wanted to let you know this is
not a rubber-stamp situation, that's all.
:49:12
Now, this specialist, uh, Ilario,
there's something funny about his story.
:49:16
We're not giving the medal to Ilario.
We're giving it to Walden.
:49:19
Roger.
:49:21
Splendid. Move forward.
:49:22
OK. The discrepancies specifically
relate to... use of an M-16 rifle...
:49:26
Come on, Nat! No two eyewitnesses
ever agree on every detail.
:49:30
You know that as well as I do.
:49:32
When do we get that report?
:49:34
I want the White House off my back.
:49:36
A few days, sir.
:49:37
You agree that this report should be
as detailed and accurate as possible?
:49:42
Which means exactly what, Colonel?
:49:44
Which means exactly what I said, sir.
:49:49
Sorry, sir. This is the second copy
of Colonel Serling's Al Bathra deposition.
:49:54
The investigator seemed to have
misplaced the last one.
:49:57
Rise above.
:49:59
This will all be over soon.
:50:02
Will there be
a public statement of the facts...
:50:05
when the investigation is over, sir?
:50:07
There's been a decision not to release
any findings until every case...
:50:11
has been thoroughly reviewed.
:50:13
Well, how long do you imagine
that will be, sir?
:50:16
I mean, next time I see Lieutenant Boylar's
parents, I'd like to tell them the whole truth.
:50:22
You know how many grieving parents
I had to deal with during Vietnam?
:50:26
This is not Vietnam.
:50:27
Lieutenant Boylar's tank
was hit by uranium-depleted shells.
:50:30
We're the only country
in the world that uses them.
:50:34
We got reporters from the Washington Post
looking for the truth,
:50:38
and the only person that knows it
can't say it...
:50:40
because these investigators
are dragging their backsides!
:50:44
Someone has got to be
accountable for this, sir.
:50:58
Take a seat.
