1:04:00
I request permission
for patrol reconnaissance around

1:04:04
to the right of Hill 210.
I believe the entire position, sir,

1:04:07
can be outflanked
with a manoeuvre there in force.

1:04:10
- No! Goddamn it, no!
- Mightsave lives!

1:04:12
There'll be no flanking move.
1:04:14
Listen, Staros.
You're notgonna take yourmen

1:04:17
around into the jungle
to avoid a goddamn fight!

1:04:20
Do you hear me, Staros? I want you to attack
right now with every man at your disposal!

1:04:26
Now, attack, Staros! That's a direct order!
1:04:38
Sir, I must tell you
that I refuse to obey your order.

1:04:54
- There it is, right there. See it?
- I don't see it.

1:04:59
This is not your fault, Jim.
He's ordering you to.

1:05:05
I again request permission for patrol
reconnaissance around to the right in force.

1:05:11
The time, sir,... is 1321 hours, 25 seconds.
1:05:15
I have two witnesses here. I request that
you do the same with witnesses there. Over.

1:05:25
Staros, don't pull this
guardhouse-lawyer bullshit with me!

1:05:28
Now, lknowyou're a goddamn lawyer!
This is nota court oflaw.

1:05:32
This is a war. It's a goddamn battle!
1:05:34
Now, I want that frontal attack.
I repeat my order. Over.

1:05:39
Colonel, I refuse to take my men up there
in a frontal attack.

1:05:43
It's suicide, sir.
1:05:45
I've lived with these men for two years, and
I will not order them all to their deaths. Over.

1:05:59
This is a very important decision, Staros.
