I was never brave.
:24:09

The communists attacked four days ago.
:24:30
We pushed them back only yesterday.
:24:32
We think there is 300 in this village.
:24:37
- But you will not see them.
- It's getting worse, isn't it?

:24:41
How long can you keep going?
:24:44
A few months, maybe.
:24:46
My men are counting bullets.
:25:28
No, no! Don't shoot!
:25:35
What the hell are you doing here?
:25:37
They wouldn't let my truck
out of Phnom Penh

:25:53
- In the end I just bought it.
- You are mad.

:25:55

with trachoma?

:25:59
- Yes, I suppose I have.
- It's not that easy to remain uninvolved.
