It's phase one of General Westmoreland's
three stage plan.
:49:17
We put together a superior force...
:49:21
then engage the enemy
on the battlefield.
:49:24
Three: Wipe them out.
:49:27
Well, hell, I don't know if the enemy's
gonna go along with that plan.
:49:32
We're not fighting
a conventional war here.
:49:35
You can't roll out the tanks
like it's World War ll.
:49:38
I mean, goddamn, hasn't the Pentagon
learned anything in three years?
:49:42
John, you gotta learn
to keep your mouth shut.
:49:45
It was a hell of a job to get you
over here, even as a civilian.
:49:50
You're here to work
with the Aid Program, right?
:49:53
You're right, Fred.
:49:56
Well, I read your briefing,
and I agree with you.
:49:59
We got to try and win
these people over.
