$$"War Continues To Take Civilian Toll"
Those are Marines.

1:18:05
Now we're the ones
burning them out.

1:18:07
- It's just one damn photo.
- It's more than one photo.

1:18:10
We're losing our souls here.
1:18:12
Do you think I agree with it?
1:18:14
I don't want to fight with you.
1:18:18
Come on, man.
We've been through a lot together.

1:18:24
I'm going home.
1:18:33
Well, I'm not real good
at good-byes.

1:18:39
Don't get killed.

$$"Il Field Force Vietnam"
1:18:47
Gentlemen, as you all know, until now
the Fifth Division of the Vietcong...

1:18:51
has had sole control
of the Saigon operational area.

1:18:54
These captured V.C. documents
indicate--

1:18:57
- Attention!
- Carry on, gentlemen.

1:19:00
Fred.
Please continue, Mr. Vann.

1:19:04
I was saying the intelligence
we now have indicates clearly...

1:19:09
that divisions formerly positioned
in this area...

1:19:12
on the Cambodian border
have been moved...

1:19:16
to here, here, here and here...
1:19:20
and now all share
the Saigon theater of operations.

1:19:24
General, there's aerial evidence
of advanced movement to support this.

1:19:29
And what is your conclusion?
1:19:32
Well, sir, our conclusion is...
1:19:35
the enemy is about to strike
at the capital.

1:19:37
Gentlemen, that is exactly
what the enemy wants us to think...

1:19:40
because they
are going to lay siege...

1:19:43
to the Marines here
with regular forces...

1:19:46
to make us believe that they are going
to invade the capital with the Vietcong.

1:19:51
We hold back our forces.
1:19:52
They overrun the Marines
for a spectacular victory...

1:19:55
just like they did the French.
1:19:57
Well, that's not gonna happen
on my watch, gentlemen.
