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"?
1:14:03
- Cassius Clay.
- His new name's Muhammad Ali.
1:14:07
Well, I don't care
what he calls himself.
1:14:10
He dodges the draft, no Negro soldier's
gonna fight. Lock his ass up.
1:14:13
Can I just say, John, what
an extraordinary pad you've got here?
1:14:18
It's called "harnessing
the best houses in Saigon."
1:14:22
That's the new U.S. Aid Program.
1:14:24
What's that supposed to mean?
1:14:26
It's odd to see you
in this context, that's all.
1:14:29
You know, I met you--
rice paddies and peasants--
1:14:31
Are you accusing me of selling out?
1:14:34
- I've read your articles.
- Oh, have you?
1:14:37
- You're damn near ready to surrender.
- Since when is criticism surrender?
1:14:40
Screw that. Nobody's been more critical
of how this war's been fought than me.
1:14:45
But you seem to think it's your duty
to spread this defeatist loser crap.
1:14:48
Oh, winning and losing--
That's what it's all about, isn't it?
1:14:51
A soldier's sole purpose is to win.
1:14:54
I got no argument.
But you're not a soldier.
1:14:56
- You're a civilian.
- Come on, guys.
