:36:21
"To Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann.
:36:23
From his good friends and admirers,
the American Press Corps."

:36:28
- I don't smoke.
- You can use it to light a fire...

:36:30
under the press back at home.
:36:32

:36:35
- Nick.

He was our hero, an officer
willing to risk his career...

:36:54
to tell the truth about Vietnam.

It's good to be home.
:37:29
Boy, have I got work to do.
:37:31

most precise, kick-ass report...

:37:34
in the history of the U.S. Army.
:37:39
Southeast Asia.
:37:41
Rubber, timber and manpower.
:37:46
Southeast Asia,

:37:51
and we wanna stop 'em.
:37:52
The Communists want it.
We want to stop 'em.

:37:55
And in my hand...
:37:57
I hold the secret weapon
to win the war in South Asia.
