Lieutenant Colonel John Vann calling.
:45:52
Hello, sir.
:45:53
I resigned my commission.
I knew I couldn't get through.
:45:57
Everybody's fine, thanks.
:46:00
I'm doing great, just great.
:46:05
Well, no, I'm not.

I need to be in on the action.

Anything, Fred. I mean anything.
Must be something I could do.
:46:21
I understand.
:46:22
You can't fight this war
without me.
:46:27
Okay. I appreciate it.
:46:30
Good-bye.
