$$"Welcome Home, Daddy!"
:37:12
Dad!
:37:17
- Hey, Dad!
- Sweetie.

:37:19
God! Katy!
:37:23
Good to see you.
You have grown.

:37:25
Honey, you look great.
:37:27
It's good to be home.
:37:29
Boy, have I got work to do.
:37:31
I'm gonna give them the clearest,
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,
the communists want it...

: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.

:38:00
...secret weapon
to win the war in South Asia.

:38:03
In my hand I hope the secret weapon
to win the war in South Asia.

:38:08
Rice. Rice, gentlemen.
:38:15
To the Vietnamese peasant,
it is everything.

:38:18
They fought the Chinese,
the Japanese--

:38:21
They fought the French
for their rice fields.

:38:22
The communists
have hijacked that rebellion.

:38:25
...have hijacked that rebellion.
:38:28
This man, Ho Chi Minh...
:38:31
and his general, Giap...
:38:33
have promised the farmers
they will give them back their rice...

:38:36
while our man, President Diem...
:38:40
continues stealing it.
:38:42
We must regain the goodwill
of the peasants.

:38:44
We must restore the good faith
of the people.

:38:46
To win the war in Vietnam,
we must take back the rice revolution.

:38:50
Throw out the rice stealers
and give them back their rice.

:38:53
We must wage war for the peasants,
not against them.

:38:57
Build their houses.
Don't destroy them.

:38:59
Kill the enemy with this
instead of this.
