:20:01
- Thank you.
- Beautiful medal.
:20:03
I must have a photo.
:20:05
Vann would charm, coax, cajole,
anything to rally the South Vietnamese.
:20:09
At first, it worked.
:20:11
By God, the best U.S.-Vietnamese team
for fighting communists.
:20:15
American advisors worked
to bring the level of training...
:20:18
and combat readiness
of these forces as high as possible.
:20:22
Superior equipment and mobility
are used to full advantage...
:20:25
to carry the fight
to the enemy swiftly...
:20:28
wherever his presence
becomes known.
:20:30
The Vietnamese soldier is quick
to grasp the techniques involved...
:20:34
in copter-borne counter action
to guerrilla raids on country villages.
:20:38
And he uses his new knowledge well.
:20:45
Colonel Cao.
What is the mission?
:20:47
We are mounting an assault
on Than Binh.
:20:50
We already cleared Than Binh.
:20:52
No, we must cleanse
the village thoroughly.
:20:54
This is ridiculous.
:20:56
Colonel, please.
:21:00
You have to understand,
I must follow the order of my president.
:21:04
If I do not,
then my family is in danger.
:21:07
He has told me, "No casualty."
:21:09
But you are war with the Vietcong.
:21:12
You want us to fight the Vietcong.
So we fight them.
:21:15
My president need your money
and your gun because he has many enemy.
:21:20
Thing are not as simple
as in America.
:21:28
Jesus H. Christ.
We're eyeball to eyeball...
:21:31
with the communists all over the world,
and these guys are out shooting rabbits.
:21:40
"General Giap's
instructions for us...
:21:43
to steal back the rice
on behalf of the peasants...
:21:48
has paid great dividends."
:21:51
This General Giap
is a very clever man.
