Where do they get
all the water from?

:08:17
They terrace the fields
at different levels...

:08:19
and they have a bunch of canals
and dikes and bring it all down.

:08:23
That's fantastic.

$$"Military Assistance Command Vietnam"
Gentlemen.

:08:33
Each one of you will be assigned to a
division of the South Vietnamese Army...

:08:38
to act as a senior advisor.
:08:40
The South Vietnamese soldier
is a magnificent fighter...

:08:44
highly motivated,
tough and intelligent.

:08:47
The body counts
given to this office...

:08:50
are nothing short of remarkable.
:08:53
Just take a look.
:08:56
Theirs is a splendid effort,
and it is our job to support 'em.

:09:00
I know you are all experienced soldiers,
but we have been sent here as...

:09:05
advisors.
:09:08
Their President Diem
is decent and God-fearin'.

:09:11
Our god, by the way.
:09:15
He's emphatic that this is a war between
the legitimate Vietnamese government...

:09:18
and their communist invaders.
:09:20
We all know that Red China and Moscow
are behind this.

:09:23
So we have every right to supply
and support these people, but...

:09:27
this is their fight
and they are in charge.

:09:31
Give 'em your best
because they have given us theirs.
