1:37:01
- Well, gentlemen, let's get to work.
- This way.
1:37:08
Ten hut!
1:37:10
Gentlemen, senior advisor.
1:37:13
At ease, men.
1:37:17
All right, listen up, everyone.
1:37:21
We are gonna hold the line
here at Tan Canh...
1:37:23
and mount a stage retreat
back to where we are, Kontum.
1:37:28
That will pull these North Vietnamese
divisions out of the hills...
1:37:31
and when they do,
we are gonna call in the B-52s...
1:37:34
and carpet bomb
each of these squares.
1:37:38
We are gonna wipe out the second,
third and fifth division...
1:37:42
of the North Vietnamese Army.
1:37:44
My old colleague,
Colonel Ba, will conduct...
1:37:47
a forward command
defense and withdrawal.
1:37:56
This is General Giap,
commander of the N.V.A.
1:38:01
He's a genius.
1:38:02
He's never been beaten
until now.
1:38:07
I've studied this man
for ten years.
1:38:09
We are gonna whip his ass.
You know why?
1:38:11
Because he wastes his men.
1:38:14
Pours them away
like piss in the wind.
1:38:21
There's not a man in this room...
1:38:23
not a man on that line out there,
I wouldn't die for.
1:38:29
No matter what we've done
with our lives...
1:38:31
you and I can be proud today...
1:38:34
because we have
the noblest of all professions.
1:38:37
We are soldiers.
1:38:40
The Good Lord said it all about us.
1:38:44
He said,
"No greater love has a man...
1:38:46
than he lay down his life
for another."
1:38:49
And by God this day will not end...
1:38:52
but I will see you all
safely through it...
1:38:55
and we will hold this ground.
