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.
1:06:04
But if you feel that strongly, maybe
you have a reason, so I'm coming down.

1:06:08
Go take a look.
1:06:11
I'm not rescinding my order to you, son,
1:06:13
but if I find extenuating circumstances
when I get there, I'll take that into account.

1:06:18
Now, in the meantime, goddamn it,
I want you to hold on until I get there.

1:06:22
And, ifpossible, you get those men
on the ridge outandmoving! Out.

1:06:39
One spot's as good as another, men.
1:06:42
There's no place to hide.
1:06:48
Just take it easy, son.
Take it easy. Take it easy.

1:06:53
Where's... where's Fife?
1:06:56
Fife? He's right here, son. Fife.
1:06:58
Hold my hand, Fife.
