- Paul Gillies.
- Sorry for your loss.

1:12:03
- This here's my wife Bella.
- How do you do?

1:12:06
I've been telling 'em I've been reading
about you in the "Norfolk Leader"--

1:12:09
all those battles
he's been winning.

1:12:12
It's a great thing
you're doing over there, son.

1:12:14
God Almighty knows
it's a great thing.

1:12:17
Imagine, Myrtle's boy,
advisor to the United States Army.

1:12:20
Who would have thought?
1:12:23
Yeah. If you need anything,
you know who to call.

1:12:29
1967, the year of delusion.
1:12:32
465,000 American troops fought major
battles from the Delta to the D.M.Z....

1:12:38
while Westmoreland declared
the end was coming into view.

1:12:41
Vann knew better.
1:12:44
I thought we cleared this area.
1:12:46
We had, sir.
Then we discovered these tunnels.

1:12:48
- Here, here and here.
- Fire in the hole!

1:12:55
- Watch the perimeter.
- And over here, sir.

1:12:57
- This is where we found the documents.
- What do they say?

1:13:00
Last month we destroyed
the Vietcong in this region.

1:13:03
But according to these documents...
1:13:06
another V.C. battalion
has replaced them.

1:13:08
Where the hell did they get
the manpower to do that?

1:13:11
I don't know, sir.
I thought we had killed them all.

1:13:14
I'm afraid we are back
to where we started, Mr. Vann.

1:13:19
Well, goddamn it, we'll just
have to clear it out again.

1:13:23
Hey, get away!
1:13:27
Jesus, John,
now we're fighting school teachers.

1:13:34
She was never V.C.
until her village got bombed.

1:13:48
How the hell are we supposed to have
a Thanksgiving dinner with these things?

1:13:53
What's the news?
1:13:55
Spencer Tracy died.
1:13:58
Who said this: "I don't have no personal
quarrels with those Vietcong"?
